Class of 1877

While the Secretary lives in the heart of the flood section, he suffered no personal loss, and his town was lightly visited in comparison with many of its neighbors.

The Boston Transcript recently carried the following item: "Dr. W. F. Temple of 377 Beacon St., Boston, is doing a praiseworthy feat in moving an old house, built in 1735, from Epping, N. H., where it was falling apart through disuse, to his country place at East Pembroke, Mass. Dr. Temple has on his property a house which dates from 1698 and which he thinks too much of to desecrate with modern heating apparatus. Yet the wind whistles through the chinks too vigorously to permit of comfortable living in the late fall and winter months. He found this house in Epping and was attracted first to the paneling, which he thought he could incorporate in a house he might build on his place. Then the idea came to him to use the whole house, so he had it taken down and loaded on a freight car to be rebuilt at East Pembroke."

Secretary, Chelsea, Vt.
