CLASS OF 1862

Rev. Henry Phelps Lamprey died at his home in Concord, N. H., January 17, 1921, of old age.

The son of Ephraim and Bridget (Phelps) Lamprey, he was born at North Groton, N. H., November 2, 1832. He was one of eleven children, and the eldest of eight sons. The last survivor of this family is Maitland C. Lamprey '63. In 1849 the family home was removed to Concord. In boyhood he was apprenticed to a carpenter, and became an expert cabinet maker, earning the money for his education by these mechanical pursuits and by teaching. He prepared for college at Pembroke Academy and at New Hampton Institution. He was a member of Psi Upsilon.

For the first two years after graduation he traveled in the employ of the American Tract Society, and then for two years studied theology at the New Hampton Institution. Entering the Free Baptist ministry, he held pastorates as follows: Phillips, Me., 1866-8; Wilmot, N. H., 1868-71; Brunswick, Me., 1871-72; East Corinth, Me., 1872-3; South Parsonsfield, Me., 1873-6; Northwood, N. H., 1876-8. He then transferred his connection to the Congregational Church, and was pastor at West Stewartstown, N. H., 1879-80, and at Danbury, N. H., 1880-2. In 1882 he returned to Concord, and remained for three years, taking charge of the market gardening business of a brother, who had a severe illness. He then returned to the pastorate, serving at Acworth, N. H., 1885-7, at Lower Waterford, Vt., 1887-9, and at Ossipee Center, N. H., 1889-91. "He then bought a place in Concord, where he spent the remainder of his life.

July 11, 1867, he was married to Ellen S. daughter of Ichabod P. and Emeline M. Hardy of Groton, N, H., who survives him, with two daughters, Louise and Elmira A. Lamprey.

Mr. Lamprey was the oldest member of his college class, the great majority of whom he has outlived. Unselfish and devoted service to others was the keynote of his life.

CLASS OF 1879

George Sanders Long died at the Grant Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, January 8, 1921, of heart complications following pneumonia, with which he became ill December 8.

He was born in Troy, Ohio, February 22, 1856, and prepared for college at Troy High School. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob F. Long, were of German birth. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

For two years after graduation he was principal of the high school of Portsmouth, Ohio, and then studied law in a Troy office. In 1884 he was admitted to the bar, and practiced at Troy until 1908, being for some time in partnership with the late Thomas B. Kyle '80. He was highly successful in his practice, and was prominent in public affairs, serving as mayor and member of the board of education of the city, and from 1897 to 1901 a member of the state Senate. In January, 1909, he became secretary to Governor Judson Harmon, and removed to Columbus for that purpose. After the expiration of his term of four years he remained in Columbus, and devoted himself to the practice of his profession.

He was an active member of the various Masonic bodies, including the Scottish Rite. He was also connected with the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, and the Elks. He was a member and office-bearer of the Episcopal church.

In June, 1887, Mr. Long was married to Lina, daughter of Jerome B. and Johanna (Dye) Weller of Troy, who died February 9, 1912. Their son and only child is Frederick Weller Long '11.

The Troy papers speaks of him as "a man of fine personal appearance and of a disposition that readily made and held friends' and this is a good description of the George Long as known by the college men of his time.

CLASS OF 1900 N. W. EMERSON,

Dr. Julius Maltby Dutton died at his home in Westfield, Mass., on Saturday, January 29, 1921, after a week's illness. He had just made a trip to Seattle, Wash., to visit an uncle, and was taken seriously ill in Chicago, but continued home. He was attended by a large corps of physicians, but nothing could be done to save his life.

The funeral services took place at the First Congregational church in Westfield, and the class was represented by Eaton, Butterfield, Wallace, and Metcalf. The burial service was held at his birthplace an Lebanon, N. H., and conducted by Roger Dunlap.

Dr. Dutton's wide acquaintance, and the high regard which the people of Westfield had for him were evidenced by the attendance at his funeral, which included people in every walk of life.

Julius Maltby Dutton was born in Lebanon, N. H. December 14, 1877, the son of Rev. John Mason and Flora Belle (Maltby) Dutton. His father, a graduate of Dartmouth in 1873, died in 1900. Dutton prepared for college at the Newton High School, and entered the class of 1900. His career in college was typical of his after life and of his character. He was the friend of everyone and aroused the enmity of none. Everybody was fond of Julius Dutton from the day on which he entered college until he graduated. His broad sympathy, his genial disposition, and his great charm of manner were such outstanding characteristics that he won friends almost immediately, and always kept them. He was a splendid student of the College, a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity, and president of the Y. M. C. A.

After college, Dutton entered the Dartmouth Medical School and graduated in 1903. He spent one year at the Tewksbury State Hospital, and then removed to Westfield, Mass., where he made his home during the rest of his life.

On September 12, 1905, he married Charlotte Helena Coye of Livonia, N. Y. He is survived by Mrs. Dutton and two children, John Maltby, fifteen years of age, and Ruth Frances, twelve years of age.

Button's career in Westfield was one of great usefulness and distinction. He was active in the affairs of the First Congregational church and elected a deacon. He was a member of the Get-Together Club, of the forum committee of the Chamber of Commerce, director and past president of the Y. M. C. A. He served as chairman of the school board from 1914 to 1917. He was the prime mover in erecting the Fort Meadow School, the first one-story type of building in that section. He was a member of the staff of the Noble Hospital, and performed extensive work in X-ray.

So much for the career of Julius Dutton. He was one of the 1900 physicians who have contributed so much to the welfare of their community and to the good name of the College and the class. He was the type of man you would call on for professional advice—and for personal advice a type which is rare in the business and professional world of today, but so wonderful.

The last time the members of the class saw Dutton was at the reunion at Hanover in June. His interest in 1900 affairs was constant, and he was in close touch with his classmates, especially with the 1900 men in the medical profession.

We are proud of his career, and we know that his community has lost a stalwart citizen, and the class a member whose loyalty was constant and whose friendship was so close and unchanging that it seemed to reflect the combined spirit of the class.

CLASS OF 1911

Raymond Comstock Thorne was instantly killed by an automobile accident in Beverly Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles, Cal., January 9, 1921. He was returning to his new home in Beverly Hills from one of the nearby country clubs, when his car skidded and turned completely over, and he was pinned beneath the car.

He was born in Chicago, Ill., April 29, 1887, being the son of William Cobb and Katherine (Comstock) Thorne. He prepared for college at University High School, Chicago, and at Phillips Andover Academy. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

He left college in sophomore year, and entered the employ of Montgomery Ward and Company of Chicago, the great mail order house of which his grandfather, George R. Thorne, was one of the founders, and of which his father was then president. At first he was connected with their Kansas City house, where he held several important positions, among them that of purchasing agent and of assistant to the vice president and general manager. In 1914 he was transferred to the home office in Chicago, where he remained until the entrance of the United States into the war, when he resigned to enter the army in the Air Service. At his father's death he became the sole heir to a fortune estimated at $2,500,000. He had recently built a new house at a cost of $100,000.

During his high school career he was one of the most versatile athletes in the Middle West, being captain of his high school track team, champions of Chicago at the time, a member of the Chicago Athletic Association track team, also a member of their swimming team, and one of the four-man relay teams that held the world's record. He also established and held a world's record in short distance swimming. In Dartmouth he was as fast a sprinter as the College could boast. During the time he lived in Kansas City he won numerous golf championships, including the city championship for three consecutive years and the Missouri state championship.

In May, 1909, he was married to Miss R. Mayme Wood of Boston, who survives him, without children.

CLASS OF 1915

Charles Russell Thomas died June 19, 1920, at his home in Warren, R. I.

He was born in Woonsocket, R. I., March 25, 1892, the son of Charles E. and Annie L. (Sharpe) Thomas. The family left Woonsocket when he was fourteen years old, and he prepared for college at Warwick High School. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

On account of failing health, he was unable after graduation to follow his chosen profession, civil engineering, or to engage in any active occupation, but being of a keen and active mind, his interests were many and varied. He delighted in all kinds of physical activity, but, being debarred from these, he gave much time to reading and study, and showed a marked literary taste. Walking with difficulty, he learned to drive his car with skill and ease, and became expert in automobile knowledge, so that during 1919 he wrote upon request regularly for the Automobile Dealerand Repairer. His articles upon the parts, use, and efficient management of motor vehicles were so clear, practical, and able that more than once they drew favorable editorial notice commending them as timely and valuable.

During the World War he was interested in every kind of war work, and active in such work as far as strength permitted, giving time and the service of his car to the Red Cross and to all war drives.
