NECROLOGY

CLASS OF 1858

Rev. John William Hudson died at his home in Peabody, Mass., April 27, 1925.

The son of George and Elizabeth P. (Griffith) Hudson, he was born in Groveland, Mass., July 24, 1836, and prepared for college at the academies at Merrimac, Mass., Atkinson, N. H., and Thetford, Vt. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

After graduation he began the study of theology at Harvard, but after two years was obliged to suspend his studies on account of poor health. After recuperating for a time in Cuba, his health had been sufficiently restored to admit his entering upon his profession, and in May, 1863, he was ordained pastor of the Unitarian church in Ware, Mass. He went thence to Chicopee, Mass., where he was installed pastor in April, 1865. In October of the same year his health again failed, and after a period of rest he returned to his first parish in Ware, where he remained until April, 1870. The next three years he spent on the Pacific Coast, first supplying for several months the pulpit at Portland, Oregon, and from April, 1871, to May, 1873, being pastor of the Unitarian church at Napa City, Cal. In December, 1873, he became pastor at Peabody, Mass., and remained in active service until 1901, since which time he has been pastor emeritus.

The ckss historian wrote of him in 1905: "As a preacher he holds a high rank, and the intellectual and literary promise of college days has been well fulfilled. Natural science, particularly geology, is one of his chief avocations, and he is warmly interested in Latin literature. He has published a number of sermons, and has contributed on salient subjects to newspaper columns. He is an alert and earnest citizen, identified with all good local -causes."

For more than a quarter of a century he was chairman of the school committee of Peabody, and for a long period chairman of the Peabody Institute library committee, being a trustee at the time of his death. In 1904 he published "The Geology of Peabody and Vicinity."

August 10, 1863, Mr. Hudson was married to Abby Story, daughter of Abram and Abigail (Story) Perkins of Newburyport, Mass., who died July 16, 1868. April 25, 1876, he was married to Divine, daughter of David and Divine (Goodell) Perry of Ware, Mass., who survives him, with their son, George S. Hudson, who has long been yachting editor of the Boston Herald.

CLASS OF 1871

Dr. Edward Carleton Atwood died in Boston April 17, 1925, from a complication of internal troubles.

The son of Daniel and Caroline M. (Carleton) Atwood, he was born in Pelham, N. H.. September 24, 1848. His home from childhood was in Westford, Mass., and he fitted at Westford Academy. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. During his college course he taught at Westford and Sterling, Mass.

After graduation he studied medicine, attending one course of lectures at Dartmouth, but completing his course in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he graduated from Long Island College Hospital in 1874, taking highest honors in a class of seventy. It was his intention to go abroad to study in some special line of his profession, but on account of poor health, the result of hard work in the medical school, it was deemed advisable for him to give up his aspirations for a career and become a country physician, so that under healthy surroundings and out-door life he might regain his health. In 1874 he began practice in Westford, and continued until 1884, when on account of his wife's ill health he removed to Daytona, Fla. Here he developed a satisfactory practice, which continued until a few weeks before his death. He had been a great sufferer for a year past, but resolutely stuck to his work as long as it was possible.

Dr. Atwood was a member of the state and county medical societies in Massachusetts and Florida and of the American Medical Association. He had been local surgeon for the Florida East Coast Railroad from the time of its building in 1887.

August 9, 1877, he was married to Caroline, daughter of William W. and Augusta Pauline Shaw of Winthrop, Mass., who survives him, with their daughter, Mary Evelyn Atwood.

Dr. Atwood, while a man of quiet, studious habits, was intensely interested in the affairs of the day, an ardent Republican, a student of nature, and above all a lover of his fellowmen. In spite of his long Southern residence, lie kept in active touch with affairs in New England, where he usually spent his summers. He never aspired to public office, and was in no sense a "joiner." He was always loyal to Dartmouth, and kept in touch with his classmates.

CLASS OF 1872

George Thomas Galbraith, son of George and Jane (Edson) Galbraith, cousin of William H. Galbraith of '72, died at Red- Springs, N. C., January 19, 1925, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Stiles.

Of Scotch ancestry and born at Barnet, Vt., April 22, 1845, he prepared for college at St. Johnsbury Academy, graduating in 1868, and entered Dartmouth that year with five other graduates of that school, all of whom with him became members of the D.K.E. fraternity.

He followed out his early plan of educating himself for the United Presbyterian ministry, and graduated from the seminary of that denomination at Newburg, N. Y., in May, 1875. He was ordained in New York city, September 2, 1875, and his first charge was the 127 th St. U.P. church of that city for about one year. Following that he was pastor at East Greenwich, N. Y., for over five years, and then supplied the U.P. church of Ryegate, Vt., until 1884, after which he was pastor of churches of the same denomination at Liberty, Holly, Smithfield, and Pleasant Valley, all of New York.

Politically he was a most pronounced Prohibitionist, and an aggressive worker in temperance work.

In 1905, when preaching at Pleasant Valley, the permanent physical weakness of his wife made it impossible for him to continue longer in ministerial work, with the" charge of parishes, therefore he gave up preaching and entered upon the life of a farmer, with the great and continued assistance of his older son, John S.

His wife, whom he married September 14, 1875, then Miss Jennie Service, daughter of Rev. John and Anna (Wilson) Service and sister of Robert J. Service '77 and William A. Service 'BO, died in November, 1917.

Galbraith had been in failing health for several years before he passed on, suffering acutely at times. He left two unmarried sons, John S. and Herbert L. The latter served in several regiments of the U.S. Cavalry, also in the Coast Artillery, and was a mounted orderly with General Pershing in the Phillipines. Two daughters survived the father, Mrs. Ethel M. Stiles, wife of Don C. Stiles, who served overseas in Y.M.C.A. work in the World War. The younger daughter, Miss Edith J. Galbraith, is an expert accountant in bank work.

Frederick Henry Wales? son of Theron and Charlotte B. (Derby) Wales, was born January 17, 1845, in South Weymouth, Mass., and died as the result of an automobile accident, in Los Angeles, Cal., February 10, 1925.

He enlisted in our Civil War as a private in the 42d Massachusetts Regiment, July 11, 1864, and was honorably discharged November 11, 1864. Graduating from Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H., in 1868, he entered Dartmouth C ollege in the class of 72.

He was from the first a leader in the expressed religious life of the class, forecasting unmistakably his ultimate calling. In senior year, he preached at Beaver Meadow in Norwich, Vt., and just after his graduation spent four months preaching at Epsom, N. H. He then entered Hartford Theological Seminary, and after completing the full course of three years went to the Pacific Coast and began pioneer work, preaching at Riverside, Cal., from July, 1875, and remaining there until January, 1877. Meanwhile he was regularly ordained October 11, 1876, at San Francisco, and preached acceptably at Rocklin and Auburn in 1877-79, at Dutch Flat in 1879-80, and at Tulare in 1880-82. In July, 1882, trouble with his throat indicated that it would be prudent for him to try writing for the cause of temperance, in which he had long been active, and accordingly he became editor of a temperance paper, the Alliance Messenger. This was his work for three years, following which in 1888 he founded a school at Tulare, Cal., where he had preached, and there engaged in teaching for a year. In 1893 he resumed preaching at Seaside, and removed in 1895 to take charge of the churches at Black Diamond and Stewartsville, continuing until 1899. His throat trouble increasing, in 1903 he took up a government homestead at Imperial, Cal., securing thereby out-of-doors life and more favorable conditions for combating his physical trouble. He found that he was something- of a pioneer there, as he had been at Riverside. Imperial was then a bleak stretch of land, long looked upon as no better than a desert, although it has changed wonderfully sirfce.

November 8, 1884, he married Grace A. Clark, who bore him two sons and two daughters. The second son, Fred, married in 1915, and took hold and became the main staff of his father on the ranch of 280 acres at Imperial, and, as the father reported in 1920, "fought it out" encouragingly, surmounting in a measure the obstacles of the "desert," near the "Salton Sea."

One thing stands out strikingly in the varied experiences of this son of Dartmouth, namely, that discouraging obstacles did not lead him to show the "white feather" and give up confidence in his future. He enlisted in religious causes in a pioneer section, and gave his best as long as he could, and then he struggled against being a pensioner, in the venture of making the reputed desert yield fruitage for his needs and the future of his children.

In college he was a charter member of a chapter of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, in 1869 assisting in securing the charter.

Henry Dutton Pierce, born in Cavendish, Vt., May 26, 1846, son of Nathaniel and Eliza (Fiske) Pierce, died April 17, 1925, in New York city. He was of sturdy Puritan stock, his ancestors having immigrated to this country in 1637. As a youth he knew what hard work was, helping his crippled father in a small country store, and "hiring out" on a farm summers. At eighteen he enlisted as a private in the 7th Vermont Volunteers, and was in the operations around Spanish Fort and Mobile.

After being mustered out with his regiment, July, 1865, he decided to obtain a college education. Having fitted at Newbury, Vt., Semin- ary, he entered college in 1868. After graduating, he secured the position of principal of one of the high schools of Toledo, Ohio, holding the position with marked success for three years.

Senator Redfield Proctor, president of the Vermont Marble Company, in 1875 offered him the position of manager of a branch office, which they were then opening in Toledo. Pierce accepted the offer and began his very successful business career, organizing other branches for the company at Detroit, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, over which he exercised a general supervision until 1889, when he was transferred to Chicago and given the general management of the business in eleven other western states, the chain reaching as far as Utah. He rounded out forty-one years of managerial service for the company, the last twenty-eight years being from the Chicago branch, and retired January 1, 1917, under their seventy year age rule for all employees, although the president of the company offered to make an exception in his case.

At Toledo, he served on the school board four years, and at a Chicago suburb, Oak Park, was president of the board of education for five years. For two terms he was president of the town of Cicero, another suburb of Chicago, where he gained great prestige for his able handling of some important franchise and public works questions. He was one of the two Illinois presidential electors at large on the Republican ticket of 1900. In church matters, he served for years as vestryman of the Grace Episcopal church of Oak Park. After closing his services with the marble company,' he came to New York city, and identified himself actively with the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, and was treasurer of the Churchmen's Alliance and on its executive committee. He was president of the Dartmouth College Alumni Association in Chicago in 1899, and in 1903 was chosen president of the General Alumni Association of the College.

Since 1917, he and his wife have divided up each year by living in New York city in the cold seasons, and at Gloucester, Mass., and Whitefield, N. H., in the summer. In October, 1920, he was surprisingly reminded of serious heart and arterial troubles, and since then had been able to prolong his life only by exercise of the greatest care.

In the career of the deceased, from childhood to a good old age, we have the clear marks of filial duty, patriotism, devotion to education and public service, loyal interest in his college, fidelity to the business interests which he served, assumption of great responsibilities with courage, and withal, recognition in an active way of religious duty, wherever he made his home.

In 1874, he married Miss Mary E. Hill, daughter of Gen. Charles W. Hill. He is survived by his widow and two children, Helena E. Pierce and Rev. Henry K. Pierce (Dartmouth 1904), of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York.

CLASS OF 1873

Chauncey Jerome Richardson was the son of Zadock and Hannah (Foster) Richardson, and was born August 17, 1848. in Peacham, Vt. There he grew up, working hard on the farm of his father, and between times preparing for college in his native village, entering the freshman class at the beginning of the fall term of 1869, and continuing his studies without interruption until his graduation in 1873. During his college course he taught for one term a district school in Cabot, Vt. In the fall of 1873 he taught the school in Norwich, Vt., but left in order to enter Yale Divinity School. At the end of his second year there he left to engage in missionary work in Kansas. His field of service included a circuit of four villages, which he visited in turn. After a little over a' year spent there he returned to Yale Divinity School, where he graduated in May, 1877. Returning West to work as a home missionary at Rockwell, lowa, his territory included Rockwell and two out-stations. He was instrumental in building a church edifice at Rockwell, whose work has prospered in the years since, until at the present time there is a prosperous organization. There a year later, May 22, 1878, he received ordination as a minister of the gospel.

In February, 1880, he returned East, becoming pastor of the Congregational church in Wolcott, Vt., where he remained until December, 1882. His health, never "robust, failed, and for some time he was unable to continue his work. In December, 1884, he undertook a pastorate at Gaysville, Vt., and remained there until June, 1886. He was then at Granby, Vt., from October, 1886, for a year, and then at amworth, N. H., for a year from December, 87. Most of the years since have been spent on a farm in Newbury, Vt. There he had considerable success in poultry farming, the eggs, of a high order, being much sought for invalids. But he was never very well, and at length he went to live with his daughter Grace, the wife of Mr. R. H. Cooley, whose home is in Barnet, Vt. There, most tenderly cared for, he died April 15, 1925. Although for so many years an invalid, he was confined to his bed at the last only five days. He united with the Congregational church of his home village in May, 1867, and was ever a devoted Christian. No letter ever revealed even the suggestion of complaint because of the years of ill health which so sadly brought to an end the work he so ardently longed to do.

He married, March 13, 1882, Miss Sarah S. Bailey of Wolcott, Vt., who with three children, survives him. The children are Grace (Mrs. R. H. Cooley), Clyde 8., and Karl J. Another child, John Paul, died many years ago.

CLASS OF 1877

Dr. John James Berry died April 24, 1925, at his home in New Castle, N. H.

The son of Rev. Joshua Downing and Jane (Belden) Berry, he was born in Litchfield, Conn., August 3, 1858. In 1867 the family removed to Portsmouth, N. H., and the son prepared for college at Portsmouth High School and Phillips Exeter Academy. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. He left college on account of ill health during sophomore fall, and did not return to college.

In the fall of 1876 he began the study of medicine with Dr. William Perry of Exeter, N. H., and was during the year 1876-77 a student at Harvard Medical School. He then went to New York city as a student of Prof. Joseph W. Howe, and attended lectures at the University of New York, where he graduated in February, 1878. From October, 1877, he was an assistant to Professor Howe in his hospital work and private practice for a year. From October, 1878, to April, 1879, he was assistant surgeon in the New York Hospital, House of Relief, and was then for about two months connected with St. Francis Hospital. Then to April, 1881, he was connected with the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled. He then spent several months in study in Europe. In October, 1881, he began private practice in Fall River, Mass., remaining there about eight months. From 1882 to 1885 he was in practice at South Norwalk, Conn., and in 1885 returned to Portsmouth. His fine ability and unusual preparation soon brought him a large practice and a wide reputation, both as physician and surgeon. Few physicians were better known through the state or were personally pos- sessed of a larger list of friends. Three or four years ago he retired from practice on account of impaired health, and for two years he served as surgeon on a ship of the United Fruit Company. For the past year and a half he has made his home at New Castle, passing a portion of the time in New York city.

Dr. Berry was a member of the New Hampshire Medical Society, the Portsmouth Medical Society (its president for several years), the New York Pathological Society, the American Public Health Association, and (honorary) of the Fairfield County (Conn.) Medical Society. In 1887 he was secretary of the section on anat- omy of the International Medical Congress, a member of the State Board of Health of New Hampshire since 1887, of the Board of Commissioners in Lunacy since 1889, and visiting surgeon to Portsmouth Hospital since 1886. He was also surgeon to the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Portsmouth Electric Railway. Since 1885 he had been assistant editor of the New England Medical Monthly. When in New York he was engaged in the preparation of abstracts from French and German medical literature for American publications, and he has been a frequent contributor to various scientific journals. For some years he was a director of the National Mechanics and Traders Bank of Portsmouth.

October 27, 1881, he was married to Frances E. Craus of Goshen, N. Y., who survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. William H. Parker of Bronxville, N. Y., and Mrs. Robert A. Theobald of Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. There are also five grandchildren.

CLASS OF 1883

William Quinby died April 13, 1925, at the Peter Bent B.righam Hospital, Boston.

He was born in Sandwich, N. H., October 28, 1861.

After graduation he went to Washington, D. C., where he taught in the public schools for several years and meanwhile studied law at Columbian (now George .Washington) University, where he graduated as LL.B. in 1886. After his admission to the bar he served for several years as pension examiner in the United States Patent Office, and then came to Boston and entered upon the practice of patent law, being for many years a member of the firm of Wright, Brown, Quinby and May. He was one of the best known and most successful patent lawyers in Boston. He made his home in Newtonville. He was never married. He was much interested in agriculture, and spent much time at the farm at North Sandwich, N. H., where he was born.

CLASS OF 1900

Francis James Bradley died from heart disease at St. Mary's of the Woods, Terre Haute, Indiana, April 27.

He is survived by a stepmother, a stepsister, and a stepbrother.

Bradley was born in North Easton, Mass., December 29, 1877. After attending the high school in that town, he entered Dartmouth College, from which he graduated in 1900. Here he was a Rufus Choate scholar and won the Atherton Greek prize and the Class of '46 Latin prize. He took honors in Greek, German, and in ancient languages, was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated magnacum laude. During 1902 and 1903 he took a course at Brown University.

For a time Bradley was professor of languages at LaSalle College in Providence. He then went to Rome, where he entered the Collegio Urbano de Propaganda Fide. Here he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1908. His ordination to the priesthood took place in the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Rome, April 18 of the same year. The ordination was given by Cardinal Respighi, viceregent to the Holy Father in Rome.

Soon after his ordination, Bradley returned to this country and was assigned to St. Mary's church in Taunton, Mass., where he served as

curate for one year. His next assignment was to the pastorate of Madonna de Rosario church, Italian, in Fall River. In 1909 he was made principal of St. Mary's new parochial school, and later was made superior of all the parochial schools of the Fall River diocese. In 1913 he was appointed rector of St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River. He was elected a member of the school board in 1912 and re-elected in 1915 and 1918. As pastor of St. Mary's Cathedral he had over 200 regular communicants and a school of over 500 pupils.

In 1923 Bradley was appointed to fill the chair of pedagogy and philosophy at St. Mary's of the Woods. He took the chair made vacant by Rev. James Ryan, D.D., Ph.D., who had been called to Washington to be secretary of the Department of Education of the Catholic National Welfare Council. The life thus briefly outlined was one of service and self-abnegation, yet of constant progress toward greater personal freedom, greater recognition, and greater opportunities for the extending of an impressive influence. Its beginnings were small; its experiences—as the years passed—highly varied; its contrasts, of an almost romantic vividness.

Bradley's was a restricted boyhood in an unimportant New England hamlet. Later came different and helpful, if not extraordinarily varied, contacts through the medium of a country college, whose eleemosynary doles he extended to the living verge by a diversity of service. Then came a crowning day, when rom the prim portals of a white New Hampshire church, Bradley and a hundred others of us issued bearing each a parchment token of fitness to participate in the affairs of men.

memory of that June morning,—the quiet coolness of the church within, the vibrant at without, save where elm shadows crept across the Green, the brass band, blaring at the echoing hills, the line of marching seniors with its fluttering fringe of watching women must often have been in Bradley's mind during his studious years in Rome. He can hardly have escaped it on the occasion when, amid the florid yet solemn Pomps of the Papal Lateran,its candles aureoled in a haze mcense, its vaults resonant with the intoning of priests and the uprushing song of cnanting choirs, he was again declared fitthis time for participation in the affairs of God And since that participation meant return to the haunts of men, it brought Bradley back to America to a variety of school and missionchurch service in a textile city. There the young priest—by nature something of a recluse, an able scholar, a profound philosopher —met life, often in its most difficult phases, and strove to help others meet it with a brave faithfulness equal to his own.

But for him the attrition of such labors— though these brought spiritual enrichment and steadily increasing civic and ecclesiastical recognition—gradually wore out a body never too robust. There came a respite in the form of a professorship in the college of beneficent name, St. Mary's of the Woods. Unfortunately it was too late for the repairing of a heart long overborne.

So Bradley died, before his time, and with the ripening fruits of his splendid intellect yet ungathered for the world's help. Father Bradley—so he was known among his late associates. But, before that, he was one of the Brotherhood of 1900, which, of old, knew no titles, and which recognizes none in its fellowship of today.

CLASS OF 1907

April 7, 1925, Leon Bruce Paton was accidentally killed by a fall from a window of his fourth floor apartment in Brighton, Mass.

He was born in Danvers, Mass., July 25, 1884, his parents being Andrew Houston and Ella Augusta (Brown) Paton, and fitted for college at Holton High School, Danvers.

He entered college with the class of 1907, and remained about a year and three months. He was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and played on the golf team which first represented the College in that branch of sport.

Upon leaving college he took a civil service examination, and soon received an appointment which took him to Panama and the Canal Zone in the early days of the construction work under Col. Goethals. Following an illness which sent him to a hospital in Panama, he returned to Danvers, and later took a position with Malcolm, Green and Company, brokers, in Boston.

In February, 1911, he went to California, where he remained over two years, and had charge of the golf department for A. G. Spalding and Brothers in their Los Angeles store. On returning from California, he entered the employ of the Peabody Press Company at Peabody.

In February, 1914, he joined the staff of the Salem Evening News as night editor. In February, 1918, he left this paper to become golf editor of the Boston Herald, which position he held until the time of his death. While on the Herald staff, he traveled quite extensively, covering important golf events in the United States, including national open and amateur tournaments. In 1920 he went to England to cover the British open and amateur tournaments and the French amateur.

In December, 1924, he and two associates founded a new monthly golf magazine called 'Fairways of New England, of which he was editor and part owner, and in February, 1925, the first number was published. The third, or April, number, was on the point of being issued at the time of his death, but was held back a few days so that something about its editor might be included.

Besides writing of golf and other sports, he had for a number of years ranked high as a golf player, participating in many national and state events, and winning numerous honors.

Among the many tributes which have been published is the following from the sporting editor of the Boston Herald: "Larry Paton was a genius. He had the spark that kindles the fire of response in others. He had a rare personality, and a delicious wit which never sank to sarcasm. In the field of golf writers he was pre-eminent. He knew the game, its tools, its setting, and its ideals. With swank, pretense, and intolerance he had no patience. It was a pleasure to be associated with him. His friends were all those who knew him. He was intensely loyal. The tragedy of his loss is stunning. But he was of that company whose memory shall ever be cherished. He has sunk his last putt, yet those who loved him will play the game the better for having known him."

He was married November 27, 1917, to Blanche G. Ludington. She survives him, with their six-year-old son, Bruce Ludington. His mother also survives him, and two sisters (Miss Mabel F. Paton and Mrs. G. Chester Glidden) and a brother, A. Harris Paton. The funeral service was held April 10 in the Community church, Danvers, which was not large enough to accommodate the throng that came to pay their last tribute.

CLASS OF 1916

Peter Oles Soutar died at Guaro, Oriente, Cuba, April 1, 1925, as the result of an accident..

The son of James C. and Annie (Fader) Soutar, he was born in Lynn, Mass., April 4, 1894. He prepared for Dartmouth at the Lynn Classical High School.

At Dartmouth he was a member of the freshman football and basketball teams, and during the following three years participated in these sports on the varsity squad. During all four years he served the class as vicepresident, and in his senior year was chairman of the executive, committee and a member of the third honor group.

Following graduation, "Pete" entered the employ of the Goodrich Tire and Rubber Company in Boston, and remained with this firm until he enlisted in the regular army shortly following America's entry into the war.. He was commissioned at Camp Leavenworth, Kansas, late in the summer of 1917, and immediately ordered with his regiment to duty in Honolulu. In September, 1918, he arrived with the 25th Infantry at Nogales, Arizona, and remained on border patrol and military police duty at this post until his resignation from the army in the fall of 1920.

Immediately after leaving the service "Pete'' went to Los Moches, Sinaloa, Mexico, where he filled a position of responsibility with a foreign company engaged in the raising of sugar cane and tomatoes. Returning to his home in Auburn, Me., late in 1922, he spent the next few months in New England, and entered the employ of the United Fruit Company in March, 1923. Serving in various capacities in the Cuban sugar plantations, he rapidly made a name for himself, and his ability and fine sense of duty were early recognized.

While on his vacation last fall "Pete" was a member of the football coaching staff at Hanover. He returned to Cuba in November, a nd shortly thereafter was made acting superintendent of District No. 4 of the United Fruit Company, comprising a vast acreage.

He was making an inspection trip through the district on a gasoline driven car of the light railroad hand-car type when the fatal accident occurred. While he was proceeding along the tracks in the early morning of April 1, a dog ran between the front and rear wheels and derailed the car. "Pete" was thrown and seriously injured internally; removed to a hospital, he lived but a few hours.

Funeral services were held on April 11 at the Rhodes Memorial Chapel, Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn, where also was the interment.

Twenty-five members of the class of Nineteen Sixteen were among the Dartmouth men who paid their final respects at the services.

He is survived by his mother, two sisters, and two brothers, Donald C. Soutar and George Soutar.

Ah officer and leader of the class from the freshman days of 1912 to the time of his death, he was beloved and respected by all who knew him.

"He turned off at the cross-road, but we will meet again beyond."
