Class of 1871

DR. GEORGE EUGENE DAVIS died January 30, 1933, at his home in Oakland, Calif.

Born at Boscawen, N. H., September 10, 1846, he went to California with his family in his boyhood, fitted for college at the San Francisco Latin High School, and in the fall of 1867 came East with Ham, Mee, and Worth to enter Dartmouth in the class of 1871. During the. four years he took an active interest in athletics, especially in baseball, and he was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.

After graduation he returned to California for the study of medicine at University Medical College of San Francisco, receiving his degree of M.D. from Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1873, when he at once settled at San Francisco for his lifework as a family doctor.

In 1878-9 he was president of the California Homeopathic Medical Society, and he also served as professor and dean in the Hahnemann Medical College of San Francisco. For almost sixty years he continued in active practice, during most of the time maintaining two offices, one in San Francisco and another at his home in Oakland. An old friend and patient writes of him: "Dr. Davis never refused a call dayor night, and he left many people who feelthere is no one to take his place. His kindness of heart extended also to animals, andhis cat still waits for him every night atthe gate."

July 22, 1871, he married Roxie L. Warren, a direct descendant of General Warren of Revolutionary fame. September 16, 1914, he married Mrs. Minna Harrick, who survives him. He is also survived by a son, Arthur, and by five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. By his express instructions his body was cremated, and his ashes were buried in his own garden.

Class of 1872

CHARLES ADAMS JEWELL, a former longtime resident of Plymouth, N. H., passed away at his Boston, Mass., home on March 22, 1933, in his eighty-ninth year. He was born in Campton, N. H., November 10, 1844, the son of Samuel F. and Almira (Keniston) Jewell. In 1854 he removed with his family from Campton to Plymouth, N. H., where he continued to reside until June, 1886. He came from good Pilgrim, Revolutionary stock. His great-grandfather Jewell was engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill, and later died in the Revolutionary military service. His great-grandfather Keniston, on his mother's side, was also engaged in the Revolutionary military service. His older brother, George K. Jewell, also served in the Civil War as a member of the 15th Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers.

Mr. Jewell was educated in the district schools of Plymouth, and quite early became impressed with the earnest desire and ambition to obtain a college education. In order to earn money to assist in the expenses incident to preparing for college, he taught winter terms of school in various New Hampshire towns. He taught two terms in Plymouth, two in Campton, one in Holderness, and one in Andover. He taught his first term of school in Plymouth, at the age of seventeen years. In the fall of 1866 he entered Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., and in two years fitted for college, graduating there with the class of 1868. In the fall of the same year, 1868, he passed his college examinations, and entered Dartmouth College, from which institution he graduated with the class of 1872. To assist in his college expenses, he taught a twelve-week winter term of school each winter he was in college. The winter vacation at Dartmouth College at that time was of six weeks' duration, and students in good standing who desired to teach school were then granted a six weeks' leave of absence during term time, on condition that they made up the studies pursued in their absence, and passed examination on them on their return. His first winter in college he taught school in Batavia, 111. His second and third winters in Orleans on Cape Cod, Mass., and his last winter in college he taught as principal of Franklin Academy, at Franklin, N. H.

He was member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa society. During his entire college course he was eminent for his good fellowship, sterling integrity, and earnest devotion to work.

Immediately after his graduation in June, 1872, he entered the office of Pike & Blodgett at Franklin, N. H., as a law student. Hon. Austin F. Pike of that firm was then one of the leading attorneys of the state, and was later elected and served as United States senator from New Hampshire, and his partner, Hon. Isaac N. Blodgett, was for many years a judge of the Superior Court.

During his first year in the office of Pike & Blodgett, in addition to his law studies, Jewell taught school as principal of Frankline Academy, where he had classes in both Latin and Greek. He continued his law studies with Pike & Blodgett, and at the May term of court at Plymouth in 1875 he passed the required examination and was admitted to the New Hampshire bar. Immediately after his admission he formed a law partnership with Hon. Joseph Burrows of Plymouth, and entered upon the practice of his profession. This partnership continued until Mr. Burrows' death in April, 1883. He then continued, with the aid of a law clerk, the practice of law in Plymouth until June, 1886.

In 1874 he was elected and served as assistant clerk of the New Hampshire State Senate. In 1875 he was elected and served as representative in the New Hampshire legislature from Plymouth, and in 1876 he was again elected and served in the legislature as representative from Plymouth. In November, 1882, he was elected county solicitor for Grafton County, and served in that capacity for the full term. From January, 1883, to January, 1885, he took an active part in all the affairs of the town of Plymouth, and always regarded Plymouth as one of the ideal residential towns of New Hampshire. For several years he served as town superintendent of schools, and for three years he served as chairman of the first town school board of Plymouth after the adoption of the town system of schools by the legislature. He took an active interest and worked zealously for the location and establishment of the State Normal School at Plymouth, which was finally accomplished by an act of the legislature in 1870. He served as a member of the board of trustees of that school ten years continuously from 1877 to 1887, and during the last six years of that time he was secretary and treasurer of the board. In the summer of 1886, during President Cleveland's first term, he was appointed chief clerk in the Naval Office in the Custom House at Boston, and on June 1, 1886, he entered upon the duties of that office. He was very soon promoted to be assistant deputy naval officer for the Customs District of Boston and Charlestown.

From 1886 to 1890 he was a member and chairman of the United States Civil Service Examining Board for the Boston Customs District. He continued in the customs service from June 1, 1886, to July 1, 1890, and on leaving the customs service in 1890 he began the practice of law in Boston, where he is said to have acquired the high respect of the bar of Suffolk county and the confidence of a good clientage. He continued in active legal practice until 1916, when he withdrew from general work and limited himself to probate duties and the care and trusteeship of estates, which he continued until his final retirement in 1926.

On December 10, 1878, he married Martha Emma Calley, daughter of Chase W. and Mary Emeline Calley of Plymouth, N. H. During his early wedded life, on March 27, 1883, his wife died. Of this union a son, George Calley Jewell, was born on January 10, 1881.

On September 6, 1888, he married Eudora B. (White) Varney of Boston.

His connection with secret societies and orders has been extensive, and his services to them have been widespread. He was a member of Plymouth Lodge No. 66, I. O. O. F.; member of Laconia Encampment No. 9, I. O. O. F.; grand master of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, I. O. O. F.; grand representative to Sovereign Grand Lodge I. O. O. F., 1887 and 1888, and he attended the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge at Denver, Colo., 1887; he also attended the session at Los Angeles, Calif., in 1888 as representative of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, I.0.0.F. These connections opened to him the opportunities of travel, of which he availed himself.

He made two trips through, the western part of the country, the first extending as far as Denver, Colo., and in the fall of 1888 he made, accompanied by his wife, an extended tour of the West and the scenic region of New Mexico and Colorado, crossing the Rocky Mountains over the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad to Ogden and Salt Lake City, and from thence to Los Angeles and San Francisco, Calif., returning by way of the Union Pacific route.

He is survived by his widow, Eudora B. Jewell, and his son, George Calley Jewell.

Interment was in Riverside Cemetery, Plymouth, N. H.

Class of 1878

Dr. J. B. Gerould died at his home in North Attleboro, Mass., on the morning of March 28, 1933, after a brief illness.

JOSEPH BOWDITCH GEROULD was born in Keene, N. H., February 20, 1856, son of Samuel A. Gerould. He prepared for college at New London Literary Institute and entered the Scientific Department. He was the best all-around athlete in the class, and starred in most of the simple sports then in vogue. He was a good sport in every sense. Tall and powerful, genial and fair, he was one of the most widely and favorably known men in college, and his standing with the faculty was high enough to win him a part in the graduation exercises of that department, which were then held separately from those of the "Academical" Department.

Upon graduation he entered Harvard Medical School, from which he graduated in 1881, and as he said, "began to look around for a young and growing place where there were no doctors." Not finding precisely such a place, he had fixed upon Racine, Wis., as a promising field, packed his trunk, arranged to accompany a classmate who was also venturing westward, when he was offered a partnership with an older physician in North Attleboro, Mass. This opening he accepted, and here he practiced his profession continuously and successfully until his retirement in 1930, upholding the ideals of the family physician, the public-spirited citizen, and the Christian gentleman. The local paper says: "Dr. Gerould possessed all those ennoblingqualities that endeared the old school ofdoctor to the people and made him thecommunity's most admired figure. He waskind and affable, conscientious and devoted to his people. The same high principles characterized and motivated him inhis public endeavors. A man of his typeand accomplishments does not pass without leaving a gap that will never be filled.Recollections of his memory will always beassociated with right living, faithful service, and patriotic devotion to duty."

He took an active part in community affairs, was influential in establishing the sewer system, and served as sewer commissioner; served also for many years on the school committee, library board, and board of trade, of which he was vice-president. He was also vice-president of the savings bank and at one time treasurer of the company publishing the local paper. During the war he was chairman of the local public safety committee, was a member of the executive committee of the local Red Cross, and of the medical advisory board.

In politics he was an ardent Progressive Republican. He was prominent in Masonic circles, and was a member of Bristol Lodge, Rabboni Royal Arch Chapter, and Bristol Commandery.

Dr. Gerould was a devout member of the Episcopal church, many years senior warden and for 45 years treasurer of the local church. He took pride in showing friends over the beautiful new edifice, to the erection of which he had contributed much time and labor as well as substance. He was also president of the Y. M. C. A.

Always a loyal Dartmouth man, he was a regular attendant at the Boston dinner until the ranks of his contemporaries became too thin there to afford the old welcome. He was a charter member of the University Club of Boston. He could always be depended upon to attend reunions of the class, and fully expected to attend the fifty-fifth in June. Even after he was too weak to do so, he talked of writing classmates about this reunion.

He was married in April, 1890, to Miss Grace R. Ely, of Westfield, Mass. A daughter, Dorothy, was born to this union, who has sometimes accompanied him to reunions at Hanover. Mrs. Gerould died in 1895, and he afterward married Florence R. Whitney, who in turn lived but a few years, and in 1909 he married Miss Mary A. Fauld of San Francisco, who survives him, as does the daughter, now Mrs. Allan A. Gordon. Mrs. Gerould is one of the wives most frequently present at reunions of the class.

Dr. Gerould called himself an optimist, and lived up to that characterization. He kept up his interest in outdoor sport and in outdoor life to the end, spending his vacations among the hills or by the sea, or driving about the country. Since he retired he and Mrs. Gerould have spent several winters in southern California, motoring about in easy-going fashion.

Asked what he would do if he might start over, he replied: "I would play just asmuch, work a little harder, and loaf alittle less. I would choose the same profession."

Generous and hospitable, he enjoyed his many friends, and he passed on happy to the last, happy in his successful career, and happy in his family life, his wife and daughter at his side. He will be greatly missed by the classmates who still linger on.

Of that number, Parkhurst and Parkinson attended the funeral, which was held in his spacious residence and conducted by the rector of his church.

Class of 1881

JOHN FRENCH PHILBRICK, who died in Bismarck, N. D., January 7, 1933, was the son of Richard N. and Olive Jane (Greene) Philbrick. He was born in Pittsfield, N. H., June 9, 1855, and fitted for college at Penacook Academy. The following interesting sketch of his life appeared in the Bismarck Tribune-.

"John F. Philbrick, picturesque Bismarck resident for half a century, whocame here in 1882 as a brilliant young attorney and in his last years sought solitudeamong the trees and birds of the Missouririver bottoms, living in a small hut aboutseven miles south of the Capital City, diedin a local hospital at 1:15 o'clock Saturdaymorning. Cancer caused the death of the77-year-old pioneer. He had been ill foryears, but did not enter the hospital untilWednesday.

"Col. C. B. Little, president of the FirstNational Bank and lifelong associate andfriend of Philbrick, described him as alovable friend, brilliant attorney, accomplished musician, and a scholar. Little andPhilbrick were graduated in the same classfrom Dartmouth College in the spring of1881. At college, Col. Little said Philbrickplayed the pipe organ while Little sang inthe college choir. Philbrick also sang, andplayed the cornet and violin.

"During the summers of his last tenyears of life, Philbrick spent much of histime alone in his river bottom, hut, communing with nature, cultivating smallvegetable and flower gardens, and reading.In inclement weather and in winter helived in the city with Arthur Van Horn,architect, who died a few years ago. At thetime of his death, Philbrick was residing atthe Patterson Annex Hotel.

"Philbrick had a background of NewEngland culture and ancestry, being a distant blood relative of Daniel Webster,great American statesman and orator. Hegrew up in New Hampshire, attending thecommon schools of Pittsfield. He spent oneyear of his early youth in Illinois and attended school at Collinsville. From 1874 to1877 he was a student in the PenacookNormal Academy, and taught a districtschool in his native state in 1877. In thesame year he entered Dartmouth, and whileat college served as principal during thewinter terms at Penacook Academy in 1878,1879, and 1880.

"Shortly after leaving Dartmouth hemoved to Chicago, and during 1881-2studied law in the office of John P. Altgeld. At college he was a member of thePsi Upsilon fraternity. Moving to Bismarck, he completed his legal educationin the office of George P. Flannery andJohn T. Wetherby, the former now livingin Minneapolis. He was admitted to theDakota Territory bar in 1884.

Class of 1889

DR. MARK SPAULDING BRADLEY of Hartford, Conn., died suddenly of heart disease, February 5, 1933, on the steamer SantaClara, off Ecuador.

With Mrs. Bradley he had left New York, January 28, for a six weeks' trip, their destination being the Chile Lakes.

He was born at East Jaffrey, N. H., January 16, 1868, the son of Dr. Oscar H. and Julia A. (Spaulding) Bradley. From the Jaffrey High School he entered Dartmouth in September, 1885, but after one year transferred to the class of '89 at Yale (Sheffield Scientific), and two years later went to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York (now a part of Columbia University), and graduated, M.D., in 1892. After J 8 months of internship in New York hospitals he followed general practice in South Manchester, Conn., until 1904. After a year of study in Europe he settled in Hartford, where he remained to the end of his life, limiting his practice to diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. He served on the staffs of various hospitals. He was a member of several clubs in New York and Connecticut, also of Washington Commandery, Knights Templar. For several years he served, on a part-time basis, as assistant medical director of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company. He had many business interests and was director in manufacturing and public service corporations, notably the Glazier Cos. (woolens) and the Williams Brothers Cos. (soaps), both in Glastonbury.

In recent years Dr. and Mrs. Bradley traveled extensively in Europe, Africa, South America, Honolulu, Canada, and the United States. They chose to avoid largely the beaten paths of tourists, preferring the unspoiled beauties of nature to crowded haunts of pleasure-seekers. Motion pictures and snap shots brought tangible evidence of discriminating choice of objects and places visited. The family seemed to be happiest, however, when at the summer home on Gilmore Pond, East Jaffrey.

Although Mark was with our class only one year, he made a permanent place for himself in the hearts of his classmates. The thirteen pages of "C. S. D., Freshman History, by Mark S. Bradley," makes good reading after 47 years. His loyalty to Dartmouth never ceased.

On July 5, 1904, he married Jessie E. Goodnow, of East Jaffrey. Besides Mrs. Bradley there are four surviving children, George, who lives in New York City; Mrs. Ferdinand Gordon (Anne) of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.; Mrs. David Howell (Catherine) of Detroit, and Lois, a student at the Emma Willard School, Troy, N. Y.; also four grandchildren. The oldest daughter, Priscilla, died in 1928.

Class of 1894

HERBERT FRANCIS TAYLOR died at his residence at Chatham, N. J., during the first week of April of this year, from cancer of the liver with diabetic complications. The funeral service took place at his home in Chatham, April 5. Secretary Merrill represented the class and took part in the service. Interment was at Springfield, Mass.

"Shorty," who derived his nickname because of his tall and massive stature, was from first to last a conspicuous figure in our undergraduate days. He chose teaching as his lifework, and filled the following positions: principal, Canaan, N. H„ High School, 1894-1895; teacher of science, Melrose, Mass., High School, 1895-1896; first principal Washington Grammar School, Melrose, Mass., 1896-1897; principal Laurel St. Grammar School, Fitchburg, Mass., 1897-1898; first principal Hosmer Grammar School, Watertown, Mass., 1899-1902; superintendent of schools, Hopedale, Bellingham, and Mendon, Mass., 1902-1909; superintendent of schools, Norwood, Mass., 1909-1910; first superintendent of the Industrial School for Boys, Shirley, Mass., 1910-1911; superintendent of schools, Revere, Mass., 1911-1913; superintendent of schools, Niagara Falls, N. Y. In January, 1914, he became superintendent of schools at Manchester, N. H., where he spent the last eight years of his school work.

He was married November 23, 1898, at Andover, Mass., to Lillian Emma Thatcher. She survives him, with three children, Frank Thatcher, born September 19, 1900; Alson Proctor, born June 12, 1903; and Phyllis, born February 25, 1909.

The last eight years he was connected with the Commercial Investment Trust at 1 Park Ave., New York City, and was sixty years of age at the time of his death. Secretary Merrill expresses the following tribute, the sentiment of which we all share:

"Shorty Taylor was characterized byhappy friendliness. I remember how helpful he was at our reunions in order thateverybody might have a good time. I remember the last time 1 talked with him—how interested he was in his job. Whereever we got together, you could count uponhim to add to the joyousness of the occasion and not to its gloom."

He was loyal to class and college and attended reunions whenever possible. His passing again reminds us how rapidly our ranks are being decimated, which is the natural order of things, although no more welcome to a class that has been out of college nearly forty years.

Class of 1903

ALLEN BROWN FARMER of i486 Commonwealth Ave., Brookline, Mass., died suddenly while attending a theatre in Boston on March 16, 1933. He was born August 22, 1880, the son of Lewis Grieve (Dartmouth 1872) and Marian (Foss) Farmer. He attended the Roxbury Latin High School and the Volkmann School, and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1903.

For several years the Boston Transcript carried his advertisement, "Pearls and Pearl Necklaces, Pearls and Pearl Necklaces Only," and his was the only establishment in the United States that dealt only in this specialty. Allen became known the world over as a leading authority on the subject of pearls.

Three years ago he gave up the business and became associated as secretary and director with the Pacific Fruit Importing Company with offices in Boston at 131 State St.

He was long a member of the Boston Athletic Association, and was the only 1903 athlete who remained to grace the role of "The Bears" of that organization.

In college Allen was one of the few outstanding members of our class, a good student, liked by all, and an athlete of the highest type. He played right end on the football teams of '99, '00, '01, and '03, and was designated an All-American end by Walter Camp in 1902. In baseball he played upon the reserves in '00, '01, and '02.

Class of 1926

HERMAN LINCOLN WITHINCTON died on March 23, 1933, of heart failure after a six months' illness.

Herm, as he was known to all members of the class, was born December 7, 1903, in Jamaica Plain, Mass., the son of Roland Coolidge and Edith (Barry) Withington. After preparation at the Roxbury Latin School and Worcester North High School, he entered Dartmouth in 1922. As a freshman Herm centered his activities on the Daily Dartmouth, and in his senior year became managing. editor. He was at this time a member of the Press Club, writing for several newspapers.

Following his graduation, Herm and Nancy Withington were married on June 27, 1931. They settled in Lancaster, Pa., where Herm became associated with the Armstrong Cork Company. His success in the business world during the past few years well illustrates his ability. After a sales training course, he became salesman, and in a short time was made assistant to director of sales personnel and then advanced to manager of sales promotion.

While in college, Herm was a member of the Epsilon Kappa Phi fraternity. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and parents, the latter residing in Wellesley, Mass.

ROBERT EDWARD DOLPHIN died in Cincinnati, Ohio, February 27, 1933, following an operation for appendicitis. He was the son of Walter H. and Lilla (Hinds) .Dolphin and was born in Lynn, Mass., January 31, 1907.

Bob prepared for Dartmouth at Lynn Classical High School. In college he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, the Interfraternity Council, the Clee Club, and the track team. In his associations with these organizations he was sincerely enthusiastic, bringing to everything he entered upon a friendly, willing spirit and a conviction that the steady living of a good life was the most worth-while end a boy could strive to shape his talents toward. Since leaving Hanover it was not our privilege to see Bob often, but we know that in the leather business into which he entered upon graduating he pursued the same quiet, effective course he had followed so successfully in college.

The class and the College has lost a fine and loyal son, and we mourn his passing, yet shall be ever grateful for the youthful years so well lived. The sympathy of the entire class goes out to his parents.

He was a member of the county and state medical societies and of the local Masonic lodge, and an attendant at the Congregational church. At the time of his 80th birthday the Rotary Club honored him with a testimonial dinner, at which a fine tribute was paid him by D. Sidney Rollins '04. At the time of his death the Newport Argus-Champion contained the following appreciation:

"Though reserved in manner, he possessed sterling qualities which greatly endeared him to the public of Newport andsurrounding towns. No medical case was too trivial and no hour too late to command the attention of Dr. Marden, whoalways remembered the great responsibilities entrusted to him."

Dr. Marden was twice married. His first wife died shortly before his return from the West, leaving a son Roy. He later married Laura McEchran of Lowell, Mass., who survives him, having been an invalid for many years.
