CLASS OF 1879

Dr. Horace K. Foster has now practiced his profession in Peabody, Mass., for forty years. For twenty-five years he has been medical examiner of the Eighth District of Essex County; for twenty years president of the board of trustees of the local hospital, and for fourteen years head of its surgical staff. An incident of his busy life has been helping about 2000 human .beings into the world. Since the death of Mrs. Foster in 1913, he has resided with his daughter. His eldest son, Kendall, who until the middle of his junior year was a member of Dartmouth '12, subsequently took a course in architecture at the Boston Tech., and is now a member of the firm of S. C. Sperry and Company in Cambridge, Mass. His second son. Chandler H., graduated at the Tuck School in 1915 and is now office manager of the firm of Scoville, Wellington, and Company, public accountants, 110 State St., Boston. Both of them were in military service during the war; one a lieutenant stationed at Ayer, Mass., and Jacksonville, Fla., and the other an aviator at Fort Worth, Texas.

Dr. Foster has this to say of one of his classmates, recently deceased :—"Last August, my daughter and I went on an automobile trip to Bar Harbor, Maine, and on the way we stopped at Standish, Maine, near Sebago Lake, and, went into a store there and inquired about Dr. W. S. Thompson. They told me, as I already knew, that he had died a year or two before, and pointed to his house across the street, which, was a large substantial dwelling nicely kept and in a generous and attractive setting. He was. twice elected representative from that district, and was said to have been one of the most highly respected and influential citizens of the, town. I inquired about his family, and they told me that his son was a student at the University of Maine and a daughter at school in Massachusetts, I think at Wellesley College, and his widow was traveling in Europe, so I think he must have been successful financially."
