Class of 1896

William F. Whitcomb, Claremont, was elected state senator from Sullivan county in the November election in New Hampshire.

Mr. and Mrs. Guy C. Richards spent several weeks this last summer in Europe. They took their automobile and made extensive journeys in Italy and France.

Judge Louis S. Cox is presiding over the criminal sessions of the Superior Court for Suffolk county this year.

H. D. Lakeman was confined to his house for a month or six weeks this fall, but was able to attend to Christmas business as one of the department managers of Porteous, Mitchell, and Braun Company.

Once more the Class is saddened, this occasion being by the death of Lola Trickey Ham, wife of Thomas C. Ham, who passed away at Philadelphia on December 17. Funeral services were held at Dover, N. H., on the 22d in the chapel at Pine Hill Cemetery.

Mrs. Ham graduated from Dover High School in the same class as her husband and Arthur Thad Smith. This early association culminated in their marriage June 15, 1902. Besides her husband, Mrs. Ham is survived by three children: Thomas H., Dartmouth 1927, who attended Cornell Medical School and is now a practicing physician; George C., and Josephine.

Those of us who were present at the 30th Reunion well remember the delightful personality of Mrs. Ham. Tom and his children have the deepest sympathy of every member of the class.
