NECROLOGY
CLASS OF 1860
Rev. John William Hayley died at the Huggins Hospital, Wolfeboro, N. H., October 3, 1927, from the effects of a fracture of the hip received September 25 at his home in Tuftonboro.
He was born in Tuftonboro, N. H., June 8, 1834, his parents being John Smith and Mary Neal (Piper) Haley. In later life he changed the spelling of his name to its original form, Hayley. Dr. T. Avans Hayley, D. M. S. 1868, was a brother. His preparation for college was obtained at New Hampton Institution, and he entered the class of 1860 in spring of sophomore year. He was a member of Psi Upsilon and Phi Beta Kappa.
For the first year after graduation he was principal of Christian Institute, Andover, N. H., and for the next three years he was a student at Andover Theological Seminary, where he graduated in 1864. He was ordained to the ministry of the Christian denomination at Tuftonboro, September 23, 1864, and was pastor of the North Christian church of Eastport, Me., until August, 1865. He then went to Union Christian College, Indiana, as professor of logic and metaphysics, but almost immediately he was compelled by ill health to resign, and returned to New Hampshire. In 1866-9 he was pastor of a church at Somerset, Mass. He then transferred his connection to the Congregationalists, and was pastor at Duxbury, Mass., in 1869-70. For the next four years he resided at Andover, Mass., engaged in the preparation of his "Alleged Discrepancies of the Bible," which was published in 1874. then pastor at Tyngsboro, Mass., 1874-5, at Hudson, N. H., 1876-8, and at Temple, N. H., 1880-2. His home remained at Tyngsboro while preaching at Hudson, and was at Lowell, Mass., in 1880-4. He then lived at Amherst, Mass., 1884-7, supplying churches and teaching Hebrew in the summer school of languages. To this period belong two other publications, "The Hereafter of Sin," 1881, and a new translation of the book of Esther, 1883, in which he collaborated. He was again pastor at Temple in 1888-91, at Lunenburg, Vt., 1891-2, and at Truro, Mass., 1892-5. From 1895 to 1902 he made his home in Lowell, engaged in literary work, and since the latter date has lived in his native town. In 1899 he received the degree of D. D. from Union Christian College.

CLASS OF 1872
Dr. Isaiah Gilman Anthoine died very suddenly at his home in Nashua, N. H., October 16, 1927.
The son of John and Mary A. (Gilman) Anthoine, he was born in Windham, Me., March 25, 1847, and prepared for college at Bridgton Academy and Westbrook Seminary. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. He left college at the end of freshman year, expecting to return, and kept up his studies through sophomore and part of junior years. Finding himself unable finally to return, he studied medicine at the Portland School for Medical Instruction and at Bowdoin, where he obtained his medical degree in 1874. He began practice at Antrim, N. H., whence he removed to Nashua in 1892.
Dr. Anthoine was superintendent of schools at Antrim from 1877 to 1882, and was later a member of the board of education in Nashua. He was connected with various professional societies, with the Main St. Methodist church, and with the Masonic order, having reached the 32d degree and being a Knight Templar.

CLASS OF 1884
Fred Henry Nettleton died at his home, 442 South Ardmore Ave., Los Angeles, Cal., on Sunday, October 9, 1927. Funeral services were held from his home on the Wednesday afternoon following.
Early in the year 1921 Nettleton was taken with an acute attack of heart disease. For nearly two years he was confined to his bed, much of the time his life hanging in the balance. He recovered from this gradually and was able to resume his usual mode of life, and to take long trips by automobile, traveling by easy stages. He also took an ocean voyage to Honolulu, from which he derived much benefit. During this time he felt that his progressive return of strength was indicative of a complete recovery. He cherished the hope that he would be able to attend his class reunion in 1929. Last spring, however, he had a recurrence of this acute attack, and was confined to his home until the end.
Nettleton was born on February 21, 1861, at Wilmot Flat, N. H. He was the son of Daniel and Ellen (Wilmarth) Nettleton. When he was eight years of age his family moved to Newport, N. H. He attended the public schools of that city, graduating from the high school in 1878. He then entered Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H., from which he was graduated in 1879. He entered Dartmouth in 1880 with the class of 1884, taking the regular classical course. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. For one term senior year he was class president. During junior and senior years he was a member of the baseball squad, and in the latter year was the regular pitcher for the team, of which he was captain. He won the distinction of being the first Dartmouth pitcher to win a victory over the Princeton team, a feat he accomplished in June 1884. For some twenty-five years thereafter he enjoyed the unique honor of being the only Dartmouth pitcher to defeat Princeton.
Immediately after graduation Nettleton went to St. Paul, Minn., where for a year he was a teacher. Then -he was employed by the Minneapolis Street Railway Company, and for a brief time conducted a coal business. In 1886 he formed a partnership in the real estate business with G. O. Nettleton 'B4, and located in Duluth, Minn. They moved their business to St. Paul that same year, where they were at once successful. In 1887 the firm was dissolved and Fred went to Spokane, Wash. Here he became interested in gold mining, and in 1889 entered the employ of Finch and Campbell of Spokane, well known as among the best mining operators of the Northwest. He served as superintendent of several of their mines for a time, but was soon promoted to the position of confidential man for the firm. His work now was to examine and report on mining properties for his firm. In this- capacity he investigated many mining properties at different points. His work carried him through all the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states, as well as into British Columbia, Alaska, and old Mexico. He was, in reality, a mining engineer, and was given that title by courtesy though he never had the degree from any educational institution. In the beginning Nettleton felt keenly the lack of technical training, but was able to master the requirements of the position readily, and to attain a high standing among his confreres in this profession. Nettleton has told his class secretary that the mental discipline that the old classical course at Dartmouth supplied stood him in good stead, enabling him through the course of practical experience to master his chosen profession and reach eminence in it.
On the death of his brother-in-law in Newport, N. H., in 1911, he gave up his work as mining engineer to care for his sister's interests, which were located partly in New Hampshire and partly in California. From this time until the death of his sister, in December, 1918, Nettleton spent his summers at the old homestead in Newport, N. H., and the winters in Los Angeles, Cal. In 1912 he built a handsome residence at 442 South Ardmore Ave., Los Angeles, where he lived until his death. On his trips to and fro between his two homes he was wont to stop over in Chicago, where we always had a local '84 reunion. On one occasion seven members of the class were present—one-eighth of the then living members.
Nettleton was married on March 14, 1923, to Miss Florence E. Free, of Los Angeles, who survives him.
During our college days Nettleton was a popular and much loved man among his fellows, both of his own and other classes. He has always been loyal to his class and college. He has contributed generously, to their various projects calling for funds, including the funds for building the new Dartmouth Hall, the Gymnasium, Athletic Field, the Tucker Fund, and the '84 Loan Fund. While in St. Paul he gave the College one thousand dollars to found a scholarship.
Nettleton was a most companionable man. He was always frank, open-hearted, and loyal. To those of his class who met him at the various reunions since 1904 he endeared himself to an even greater degree than he had during our undergraduate life in Hanover. This was evidenced by his election in 1919 as class president, which office he held until 1924, when he felt compelled to resign on account of ill health.
Memories of his genial personality, his loyalty and his fine manhood will be cherished by every one of his classmates.
CLASS OF 1888
Rev. William Byron Forbush, secretary of this class since graduation, died of heart disease after a brief illness in Philadelphia, Pa., October 23, 1927.
He was born in Springfield, Vt., February 20, 1868, the son of Rufus Orestes and Eliza A. (Spencer) Forbush, and prepared for college at the local high school. He was one of the leading men in the class in scholarship and literary activity, being the recipient of the first Lockwood and the second Grimes prize, editor of The Dartmouth in junior and senior years, taking final honors in English and French, being the odist on Class Day and appearing on the Commencement program with a poem. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Casque and Gauntlet, and Phi Beta Kappa. In the fall after graduation he was principal of the high school at Amherst, N. H., and during the following winter and until August acting pastor of the Congregational church at Post Mills, Vt. In the fall of 1889 he entered Union Theological Seminary, New York, where he remained for three years, graduating in 1892. Meanwhile he was pursuing studies at the University of New York, where he received the degree of A. M. in 1890 and that of Ph.D. in 1892. During the same time he did considerable teaching, and was acting pastor of Rockaway Ave. church in Brooklyn in 1890 and at Wantagh, L. 1., in 1890-2. After his graduation he assumed the pastorate of Riverside church, East Providence, R. 1., where he remained for two years, being also during the last year lecturer on comparative religion in Brown University. From 1894 to 1896 he was pastor of the Tabernacle church in Yarmouth, N. S., and in 1896 chairman of the Congregational Union of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In 1896-8 he was pastor at Warren, Mass., and then to 1905 of Winthrop church in the Charlestown district of Boston. In 1895 he had received the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from Hanover College, Indiana. In 1906 he became pastor of Woodward Ave. church in Detroit, where he remained until 1913.
From the beginning of his ministry he was greatly interested in work for boys, and in 1893 he had organized the Knights of King Arthur, an organization of boys which had a large vogue for a long time. He left Detroit to become president of the American Institute of Child Life, with office in Philadelphia. After a year he resigned this position to give his time to literary work, and established his home in Swarthmore, Pa., where he lived for the rest of his life. For a time he was head of the Woolman House, a school of social and religious education under Quaker management at Swarthmore. In 1918 he became general editor of the publications of The University Society of New York, educational publishers, with whom he continued until 1924, when he became consulting editor of the John C. Winston Publishing Company of Philadelphia.
Dr. Forbush was the author of many books, and probably the following list is incomplete: "Poems of a Boy," 1888; "A Manual of Boys' Clubs," 1898; "Handbook of the Order of the Knights of King Arthur," 1898; "The Quaboag Almanack," 1898; "The Boy Problem," 1901; "The Coming Generation," 1911; "The Life of Jesus," 1912; "Guidebook to Childhood," 1913; "Manual of Play," 1914; "Manual of Stories," 1915; "The Boy Problem in the Home," 1915; "Child Study and Child Training," 1916; "The Honesty Book," 1923. He also edited "The Child Welfare Manual," two volumes, 1914; articles forming a part of "The Bible Story" by his classmate Newton M. Hall, 1915; "The Fathers and Mothers League Series," five volumes, 1919; "The Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf," 17 volumes, 1921; "The Home Kindergarten Manual," 1921. He early did much work in the lecture field, with his "Yarns: a Skein of Stories Homespun."
November 29, 1890, he was married to Maud Muller Borden of Lebanon, N. H., who survives him, with their three sons: Arthur Rex, sometime in Dartmouth 1912, now of Detroit; Dascomb E., pastor of the Congregational church in Canandaigua, N. Y.; Bliss, executive head of the Quaker meetings in Baltimore.
CLASS OF 1901
Richard Pattee died at his home in Laconia, N. H., November 6, 1927, after an illness of more than a year.
He was born in Alexandria, N. H., April 27, 1872, and received his preliminary education at New Hampton Institution. He entered the University of Minnesota, whence he came to Dartmouth for a special course, being a member of the class of 1901 during junior year. He had previously been engaged in newspaper work, being employed by various papers in different parts of the country.
He early became active in the Patrons of Husbandry, for whom he became state lecturer in 1904. This position gave him a wide acquaintance through the state, and developed in him a great interest in co-operative effort for the farmers, a cause to which he devoted his life. About twelve years ago he became secretary of the New England Milk Producers' Association, which he built up from a small to a strong organization. He was one of the founders of the National Co-operative Milk Producers' Federation, and for some years had been it's vice-president. The national institute of co-operation, which was organized three years ago, was an idea of Mr. Pattee's, and he served as chairman of the institute trustees. His counsel was sought by other co-operative organzations, and his advice has been a considerable factor in shaping agricultural legislation for the promotion of this object.
Mr. Pattee is survived by his widow, Esther Ellis Pattee, a son, Samuel, who is a student in Middlebury College, and a daughter, Mary.
CLASS OF 1906
Luther Magoun Beale died at the State Hospital, Taunton, Mass., July 17, 1927.
He was born in Sandwich, Mass., December 30, 1884, his parents being Rev. Samuel M. and Nannie T. (Magoun) Beale, and prepared for college at Stoughton High School. He was obliged on account of mental disease to leave college during sophomore year, and was never able to undertake any active employment, but during most of the time was able to live at home and to lead a helpful life, making manyfriends.
The funeral service was held in the Methodist Episcopal church of Sandwich, and the burial was in the family lot at North Cohasset, Mass.
CLASS OF 1911
Some in the class may not have yet heard that Spunk Troy has gone. While on a trip trip East during the football season he was confined to his bed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston, and was stricken while asleep early on the morning of October 17th. Several of the class attended brief services in Boston on the 18th at which the profusion of flowers in his memory only partly indicated the love and esteem of many more friends who could not be present. Interment services and burial in the Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles took place on Saturday morning, October 22nd. The active pall bearers were all Dartmouth men and included Charles G. Milham, Richard B. Merrill, Eugene M. Stark, Daniel W. Coakley, James J. Norton, and Roland C. Foss. Because some of my happiest recollections of college days were wrapped up in Spunk's personality and companionship, I want to say something more in his memory.
John James Troy was born in South Boston, Mass., September 29, 1888, of Irish parentage, and was left an orphan at the age of seven. He maintained and educated himself by selling newspapers until he was ten years old, when he was fortunate in having the late James Jackson Storrow of Boston appointed as his legal guardian.
After further education in the Boston public schools he entered Dartmouth College with the class of 1911 and graduated, after an interruption due to illness, in 1912. He had contracted tuberculosis while working in a summer hotel and was forced to spend considerable time at Lake Saranac to regain his strength.
After college, he was associated with the banking firm of Lee, Higginson & Cos., of Boston until 1914. He then moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he entered the automobile business, and finally in 1917 he established in Los Angeles the Troy Motor Sales Company, distributors of the Nash motor car in Southern California and Arizona, where he continued as the active head of this substantial, prosperous business until his death.
On June 15, 1923, he married Miss Helen Abrams of Pasadena, Calif., and is survived by her and their son, James Storrow Troy, aged three years. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, the Sphinx society, the Dartmouth Alumni Association of So. California, the University and California Clubs of Los Angeles, and the Annandale and the Pasadena Country Clubs of Pasadena, Calif.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Helen, his wife, who won our hearts on first sight. We are happy that Spunk had a helpmate so devoted and rejoice that his marriage could have brought him such happiness.
To me, Spunk, considering his background, was by far the outstanding man in our class. None of us were ever confronted with the adversities he had to overcome in youth. None of us, in spite of being favored with easier circumstances and better health, could match the buoyancy of his spirit or his faith in his fellows. Who among us has made the great headway in business, has earned the friendship of so many 'important men in national life, has been more devoted to the best interests of the College and has helped so many others in less favored circumstances, to the extent Spunk recorded in the too short span of life allotted him?
I think of him first as he appeared in his freshman clothes, then on the night his personality came so strongly across the footlights to us in his first Prom Show, then making light of the long lonely days at Saranac Lake, then the roars of laughter he always brought out of my mother or father during his visits to our home.
Dartmouth did much for Spunk, but it had much to work with. That combination explains why Dartmouth was always present in his thoughts and benefited by his generosity. The statement that he was a loyal alumnus who loved his college is a fact, just as it is true that as a member of our class he was a leader, a source of inspiration, an aid to the class officers and a sincere friend.
Many of Spunk's qualities come to my mind, but those which I think his life expressed strongest to us were his ever present sense of rare humor, his innate friendliness, his enthusiasm and spontaneity, and his indomitable courage and pluck. In Arizona his friendliness earned him the nickname of "Jack," but in college where his handicaps of health and other disadvantages were more pronounced, his nickname of "Spunk" best described him.
What an inspiration Spunk was and is for all of us. If we could only fight illness and other discouragements with as little complaint and as much courage. If we could only merit as Spunk did the confidence of others, and be as strong and capable to make good the opportunities this confidence created. If we can only find as much good in others, be as friendly with the world, be as ready to see the fun in life and as successful in sharing with others, then our lives too will have been worth while. Spunk Troy has gone, but forgotten, never!
JOHN W. PEARSON.
We were both shocked and distressed to get word that Spunk had passed on. While I knew he had not been in good health Recently I had not been informed that he was so near the end. I am terribly sorry that I did not know sooner. Spunk was a fine little fellow and we all loved him. He made a great fight for his life and certainly had everything to live for. His presence at our reunions and other Dartmouth affairs will be keenly missed, and the willing spirit with which he always entered into our affairs will go on living with the class in its endeavors as long as there is a single member living. I am proud to have known Spunk and proud of his success and achievements. Certainly they came under difficulties which the rest of us have not had to encounter. Because he was successful under the handicap of poor health is all the more to his credit. Our sympathy goes out to his dear wife and son, and I hope that time will lighten their grief.
HORACE G. HEDGES
If ever a man received a nickname that suggested a personification of the man himself, it was "Spunk Troy," for only a man with spunk could have overcome the obstacles that beset him, to the degree that he did. In fact, with battles to fight that would have discouraged most men from even starting, Spunk took up the challenge and not only won, but attained success, even beyond most of us who were unhandicapped at the start. In that grimmest fight of all—a struggle with health against death—he was successful for nearly twenty years, and then gave up only when death stole upon him unaware in his sleep.
Without parents, without money, almost without friends, he started as a young boy to gain for himself those advantages which were denied him. Never did he complain or bewail his lot, or blame his "luck" for his misfortunes. He merely did not recognize adversity, but by pluck and courage, by a friendly interest in others and faith in himself, did he win friends who helped him as they could. His upright and manly qualities were sufficient guarantee to them that their confidence was not misplaced. Even in discouragement, his sense of humor never left him. His smile and genial manner were contagious, and to chat and joke with him was to drive away all sorrows and anxieties.
In such way did Spunk become a leader among his college friends, and later an unusually successful business man and highly regarded citizen of his community. As a loyal alumnus who loved his college, as a member of the class to whose officers he was always a source of inspiration and aid, and as a friend who was ever sincere, he will be greatly missed by us all. Yet our lives are that much richer and our memories the more to be cherished, because of our having known and loved him.
NATHANIEL G. BURLEIGH
