Class of 1894

Henry Hurd has had the rare privilege of association with his father through a prolonged old age. Decker Field is another man with the same privilege. His father is over 90. Henry's father was 93 at his death, December 4. He was a Grand Army man, being an active member of the local post and one who never missed a Memorial Day service. He retained his mental brightness and general activity until the last. The local paper paid him this tribute:

"He was admired by all for his generosity and square dealings as well as hisfriendliness to all whom he met. His familiar figure on Claremont streets will besurely missed."

Editor, HENRY N. HURD, Claremont, N. H.

Billy Mann's boy is married. The Secretary has learned that "announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Jennie Elizabeth Palfrey to William Dewey Mann on Wednesday, the twenty-third of November, 1932, at the Church of the Ascension, New York city." They are at home since January first at 315 East 68th St., New York. We are informed that he is employed in the United States Department of Commerce, with headquarters in New York. In December at the First Congregational church of Wakefield, Mass., Charley Merrill preached a noteworthy sermon on missions. In a half-column article the Boston Herald comments and quotes. The paper asserted that C. C.'s discourse was in the nature of a reply to "any impressions thatthe modern missions stand discredited bythe findings of the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry," which, the Herald continues, "severely criticised some of themethods used by missionaries to impartChristianity in foreign lands." *
