Class of 1897

Sargent. In the early summer Sargent resigned the pastorate which he has held for several years in Raymond, N. H. He had been active in the Grange. He had served on the school board and on the board of library trustees. His resignation was received with expressed regret by members of his church and others of the community. Sargent is now living in Epping, and hopes soon to go on with his chosen work, the ministry. During the summer he supplied in the church in Hooksett. Theron will continue his study of engineering at the University of New Hampshire.

Marshall. Members of the class will be sorry to learn of the death, last February, of Ben Marshall's younger daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of Edwin S. Huntley. The death occurred in Mystic, Conn., after a prolonged and distressing illness.

Gibson. No longer does Hamilton Gibson arise at daybreak and hurry to his office with the cares of business on his mind. He has retired from his firm, the McCall Company, and is devoting his full time to the avocations and personal interests which have meant much to him for years. The address now both Sundays and week days is 1000 Forest Ave., Evanston, 111.

Terrell. One member of 1897 was l0st to the class from its graduation. No one saw him or could get a report from him, and for years the college record has been "Missing." The brief story can now be told. From college in his junior year Harry Aten Terrell returned to his native Brooklyn and was variously occupied. His health was not good. He had no large circle of friends and lived much by himself. He was never married, and after an extended illness he died in Brooklyn on November 18, 1924. In College Terrell was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity. He was a good student and a friendly man of high ideals and courtly manners.

Pillsbury. Physically, Pillsbury has had a hard year. After years of robust health an infected foot has caused him much pain and anxiety. Although confined to his room for months, he has been able to carry on his business as wholesale buyer for a chain of retail meat stores. Socially Pillsbury has no cause to complain. He has rented his home in the city and lives at his vacation farm among the Stamford hills. It is restful to think of "Turnstile" with its open porches, shade trees, and verandas of matured satisfaction. Pillsbury married Gertrude Copeland in 1899. After her death he married Susan A. Miller, who died a year later. The present Mrs. Pillsbury was Mae Myers of the Bronx, and it is a satisfaction to present Shirley Mae, now seven years old. Shirley combines the good looks of her mother with the friendly attributes which we remember in our classmate.

Butterfield. The Secretary had a class reunion at, Hanover almost by himself in June, when he went to take home Stephen with a newly gained Thayer School diploma. He took home the diploma but not the son, for a job awaited him in the New Hampshire Highway Department. Richard studied in Europe during the summer and has returned for his final year at the Yale School of Fine Arts. Priscilla has entered Russell Sage College.

Boyd. The members of the class are pleased but not surprised to know that Priscilla Boyd graduated from Smith, cumlaude, last June. With the Boyds scholarship is a family trait.
