CLASS OF 1861
Henry Kingsbury Moore was born in Wells, Maine, July 4, 1840, and died in Berkeley, Cal., September 19, 1923. He was the son of Dr. Ebenezer Giles (D.M.S. 1829) and Eliza (Hidden) Moore. He entered college from Concord, N.H., where he took his preparatory course. While in college, although not distinguished for scholarship, he was greatly beloved for his engaging, personality. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. He was of a buoyant, optimistic disposition, and easily made friends. After graduation he studied law in Concord, N.H. for two months, and then removed to New York city, entering a law office as clerk, where he remained about a year. On the 26th of November, 1862, he was admitted to the bar in New York, and practiced in that city until June, 1863. On the 18th of July, the same year, he arrived in San Francisco, Cal., where he served as clerk in a law office until January 1,1868, when he opened an office of his own. Here he practiced law for many years, when he moved to Tacoma, Wash. While there he wrote the Secretary: "I made and lost a fortune. The panic of 1894 hit me hard." In 1901 he returned to San Francisco, where he resumed the practice of the law and was successful. In 1903 he received a very flattering offer from the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company to take charge of their claim department. To this offer a very substantial salary was attached, and the offer was accepted. He remained with the company three years, when at the urgent request of his son, who was residing in Tonopah, Nev., he resigned his office in 1906, removing to Tonopah, where the firm of S. R. Moore and Company was organized. They conducted a real estate, insurance, and mining investment business till the spring of 1923, when their business was sold and Mr. Moore removed to Berkeley, Cal. The firm consisted of Henry K. Moore, his son Sidney R. Moore, and his son-in-law Hugh H. Brown, Mr. Moore, Sr., being the secretary and treasurer of the firm. In the early years of his residence in California he married Miss Grace Roberts, whose father was one of the settlers of California. She was a graduate of Mills College, as were both of their daughters. Mrs. Moore and her three children survive, the children being Mrs. Mabel Moore Glover, Marjorie Moore Brown, and Sidney R. Moore. Mr. Moore was a member of the United States Astronomical Society, the Carpenter Microscopical Society, in the latter of which he held a life membership for work done on "Fungi" (published), and the California Academy of Sciences, before which he delivered three lectures on the "Toredo." The suggestions made in these lectures were adopted by the state architect for saving the wharves of San Francisco. While residing in Tacoma, Wash., Mr. Moore was for eight years superintendent of the Humane Society, and succeeded in having a state law passed for humane work. From 1889 to 1903 he was court commissioner of the District Court at Tacoma. Because of his long residence on the Pacific Coast and his many varying interests he did not visit his Alma Mater till the semi-centennial reunion of his class in 1911, but was very loyal to the College, and kept in touch with its activities, especially after his classmate, William J. Tucker, was elected to the presidency in 1893. After his return to Nevada from that reunion he kept in closer touch with the Secretary than any other member of the class with one exception, and his letters were always full of the spirit of youth. His family relations were of the happiest, and he looked forward to some years of a restful life in his new home at Berkeley, when after an illness of two weeks he passed away.
CLASS OF 1867
Rev. Howard Fremont Hill died at his home in Concord, N.H., October 21, 1923, after a long illness.

Dr. Hill was an enthusiastic Dartmouth man, and until the failure of his health was almost always present at Commencement, where he served several years as marshal. He bore a large part in the selection of the Dartmouth color.
CLASS OF 1873
General Edmund Hayes, a non-graduate of the class of 1873, died at his home in Buffalo New York, on Friday, October 19, at the age of seventy-four. He was born in Farmington, Maine, May 15, 1849, and received his early education in that state. He entered Dartmouth College in 1869 and was enrolled for two years in the Chandler Scientific Department. He then transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated in 1873 with the degree of C.E. He was associated successively with the Passaic Bridge Company of Passaic, New Jersey, the Erie Railroad Com pany as division engineer, and with Morrison Field Bridge Co., which later became the Central Bridge Co. In 1878 he married Mary H. Warren of Buffalo, who survives him. When the Central Bridge Co. disposed of its inter ests to the United States Steel Co., Genera Hayes became associated with the industrial enterprises of J.J. Albright and gained inter national reputation as a bridge builder. He was a consulting engineer in the erection of the first cantilever bridge at Niagara Fall and for the first power plant on the Canadian side of the river at this point. In 1913 Dart mouth College conferred upon him the degree of Master of Science. General Hayes retiree from active business several years ago and devoted his time to extensive travels. During the administration of Governor Cornell, Gen eral Hayes was appointed chief of the engineering staff and given the honorary commission. He was well known for his works of charity, both within and without the city of Buffalo. He was an active member of St. Paul's Episcopal church. An intimate friend in college, and afterwards, Randolph McNut '71, pays the following tribute to Genera Hayes:
"While General Hayes was truly held as one of Buffalo's first citizens I doubt if ever Buffalo understood the real greatness of this forceful man. The story of his life, his early struggles, and his greater achievements should be an inspiration to every boy in America today.
"I very clearly remember Hayes as a Dartmouth man. He was tall, a bit awkward in his youth, very studious and a deep thinker, not at all the type of boy who goes in for athletics, yet he was foremost in all sports; not spectacular in his play, but just a good team-mate, invariably doing his best. I have often thought that much of his fine attitude in his remarkable business life was founded upon his attitude toward his fellows in college sports.
"Like many another young man of that period the expense of college was a burden to him. In those days sessions were somewhat intermittent, partly for convenience and partly to enable the student body to earn money to continue education. Young Hayes worked summers at pitching hay in the harvest fields and in winter teaching district school to earn his tuition at Dartmouth.
"He left Dartmouth before graduation and went to Massachusetts Tech, where he took up the work at which he was so singularly successful in later years. He left Massachusetts Tech before graduation and secured employment with the Erie Railroad as an axeman. Very shortly he was promoted to rod and transit. It was there he met Gen. Fields, and they came to Buffalo to engage in the bridge business, which became one of the most successful partnerships of the time.
"The two became essentially builders of things, and some of the greatest engineering feats of the time were performed by them. They inherited a contract from a German to build the cantilever bridge at Niagara Falls. Gen. Hayes protested the original design, declaring it would not stand the weight and would surely result in a great catastrophe. His counsel prevailed, and the bridge became one of the great monuments to the engineering profession. Other great projects in this country and as far away as New South Wales still stand a tribute to the firm's ability and technical skill.
"In 1913 Dartmouth conferred the degree of Master of Science upon General Hayes and at the 40th reunion of his class he met and spent several days with the men he had not seen in 42 years. On his return to Buffalo he sent the college a check for $10,000, a benefaction, I believe, that never became generally known."
CLASS OF 1874
The most distinguished of Dartmouth men in public life in recent years has passed in the death from pneumonia in Winchester, Mass., November 4, of Samuel Walker McCall. In another department of the MAGAZINE may be found a fuller estimate of his career, of which an outline is here given.
The son of Henry and Mary Ann (Elliott) McCall, he was born in East Providence, Pa., February 28, 1851. He prepared for college at the New Hampton Institution, and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Phi Beta Kappa, prominent in scholarship and in student activities.
Studying law after graduation in an office in Nashua, N.H., he began practice in 1876 in Boston, where he remained through life, having his home in Winchester since 1882. While he met with substantial success in his profession, his activities came to be more largely literary and political.
He early began to make addresses on public topics and to write articles on public questions for the newspapers and magazines. From May 1, 1888, to January 1, 1889, he was editorin-chief of the Boston Advertiser, being one of a company which had secured control of that paper. In 1888 and 1889 he was a member of the lower house of the state legislature, being in the latter year chairman of the judiciary committee and therefore leader of the house. In 1888 he was a delegate to the Republican national convention. For two years following his legislative terms he served as ballot law commissioner. In 1892 he was again a member of the legislature, where he was chairman of the committee on election laws and procured the passage of a corrupt practices act. In 1892 he was elected to Congress, where he served continuously from 1893 to 1913. In 1900 he was again a delegate to the Republican national convention. His career in Congress was one of unusual independence, and of high honor and usefulness. After his voluntary retirement, he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator, then chosen by the legislature, in 1913, but failed of success. In 1914 he was persuaded to accept the nomination for governor, but in this campaign the Democrats were successful. In 1915 he was again a candidate, and this time was elected, serving three successive terms, from 1916 to 1919. In 1920 he was appointed by President Wilson a member of the tariff commission.
Mr. McCall was given the degree of Doctor of Laws by Dartmouth in 1901, by Oberlin in 1908, by Tufts in 1914, by the University of Maine in 1915, by Dalhousie University in 1918, and by the University of Rochester in 1919. He had been Phi Beta Kappa orator at Dartmouth, Harvard, and Tufts, and had given other noteworthy orations and addresses.

Immediately after graduation he began the study of law in a Lowell office, attended Boston University Law School in 1884-5, was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in June, 1886, and began practice in Lowell, Mass., in the spring of 1887. He soon went to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., but returned to Lowell in September of that year.

CLASS OF 1898
George Abbott Green died at his home in Brooklyn, N.Y., September 13, 1923, of heart disease, after a month's illness.
He was born in New York city, December 25, 1876, the son of Joseph S. and Augusta (Gallagher) Green, attended the public schools of that city, and graduated from the Boys' High School of Brooklyn. While a student he took part in the Dramatic Club's presentation of Sheridan's "School for Scandal" and Lytton's "Money," was a member of the first intercollegiate debating team, which represented Dartmouth against Williams College, and was a prize winner in several prize speaking contests.

CLASS OF 1899
Shortly after Homer Stephen Carr was born in Holyoke, Mass., on July 20, 1876, his father, Henry F. Carr, died, and his mother took her two boys to her old home in Winchendon. There Homer attended the Murdock Academy, striking terror—as his classmate Judge Owen A. Hoban remembers— into the hearts of opposing schoolboys by his massive size and strength at the center of the famous "flying wedge" of the football tactics of those days.
In his single year at Dartmouth he became deeply attached to the College. But his ambition since boyhood had been to be a doctor, and he reluctantly yielded to the arguments of friends at the University of Michigan that a university degree would be too valuable for him to forego. He followed his Michigan degree of M.D. in homeopathy in 1900 by a similar degree in allopathy from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1901, besides various postgraduate courses. Yet, though his college affiliations were thus more largely in the Middle West, his interest in Dartmouth and in the '99 class reports never diminished.
At the age of twenty-three he took up the practice of medicine in the ciy of Niles, Mich. His characteristic optimism was shown in his immediate purchase of the fine large sanitarium at 210 Broadway, overlooking the beautiful St. Joseph river. There his mother, Mrs. Adelaide Streeter Carr, joined him. He never married, but the singularly devoted couple, mother and son, continued inseparable to the very moment of his death.
Besides building up an extensive practice - with considerable specialization on eye work— Dr. Carr was early drawn into politics. He was a natural leader of men, resourceful, farseeing, faithful always to the best interests of the city, and above all the zealous champion of the workingman's rights. Two terms as mayor in 1911-12, when he was elected by a landslide of combined Republican and Democratic votes, were followed ten years later by re-election to a two-year term. As the Niles Daily Star-Sun expressed it: "He served for the greatest good of the greatest number, without fear, favor, or partiality, and unhampered by political, social, or class sway or prejudice." And nowhere was his unselfish desire to serve better illustrated than in his enthusiastic work for years as secretary of the county pension bureau.
During the nation-wide railroad strike in 1922, Mayor Carr was the one man in that part of Michigan who possessed the full confidence of both parties. On one occasion, responding to an emergency call at midnight, he saved the city by his sane words before a great gathering in the Opera House from the disgrace of a public riot.
Serious kidney and heart trouble last January interrupted his professional and civic duties. Treatment at Ann Arbor and at Hot Springs failed permanently to relieve him, yet he refused to remain inactive. The very night of his death he had been at City Hall in conference with other city officials.
On the morning of August 3, at almost exactly the hour when in a simple Vermont parlor Calvin Coolidge was taking at the hands of his father the oath for the high office of president of the United States, Homer Carr was saying to his mother, "Hold my hand then looking up into her eyes and murmuring, "You've been father and mother to me," he dropped off.
The funeral service was the largest Niles had ever known, while rough farmers and poor Italians and little Slavs, whom Homer Carr had tended "without money and without price," wept for the man who had always said, "I had rather doctor the poor than the rich." And the salute guns of the La Rue Messenger Post of the American 'Legion paid double tribute,—to the memory of the mayor who had served as a volunteer at Camp Greenleaf, Chattanooga, during the war, and to the memory of his chief, President Harding, whose hour of death had so nearly coincided with his own.
An even greater number of people gathered at the Michigan Central when Train No. 14 pulled out for Winchendon, Mass. For, years before, when home on a visit Homer had said as he looked at the family lot: "I guess I want to lie down by my father." Of such simple stuff was this man made, whose life was one long round of unpretentious but abundant loyalty.
CLASS OF 1901

He was buried in a little cemetery in Mill Rift, charming in its natural beauty and setting, among the hills he loved so well, for he had a great passion for nature.
Whitaker was a man of the highest Ideals in both his personal and business life. He was devoted to many civic movements, and gave freely of his time and means, particularly to a hospital in his neighborhood in Brooklyn.
He was a loyal and devoted friend, a man who spoke ill of no one, a loving and faithful husband and father, and genial to all.
