Class of 1878
Geo. I. Harvey, for many years in the Indian Service and located in Muskogee, Okla., during the latter years of that service, on retirement in 1923 settled in Carthage, Mo., purchasing a comfortable home and supporting himself and wife by raising grapes, strawberries, and poultry. In 1931 or 1932, after an illness which incapacitated him for manual labor, he sold the home to an established institution in exchange for a life annuity, and returned to Muskogee. When the depression came the annuity failed, and he reported his resources sadly depleted so he did not feel that he could attend our reunion last June. Word has just come that his address has again changed to 1121 Lyon St., Carthage, Mo., leading to the presumption that he has reclaimed his former home.
Mrs. Anna Spear Stebbins, widow of Rev. H. W. Stebbins, died March 20, 1934, at a convalescent home in Brookline, Mass., where she had been a patient for a year or more. She had resided in Dorchester since her husband's death in 1915. She had found much satisfaction of late in the growing public recognition of the principles of penology of which her husband had been an early and strenuous advocate.
Mrs. Charles S. Caverly of Rutland, Vt., who was with us at our 55th last June, has been enjoying her first visit to the Pacific Coast, motoring from Garden City, Kans., to Los Angeles with her husband's niece and husband via Grand Canyon, visiting about California for a month, then in Seattle for three weeks, expecting to return to Kansas, then home by way of Chicago and Cleveland. She has found it all "marvelous, huge, and of course interesting."
Mrs. Geo. W. Weymouth, wife of Dr. Weymouth of Lyme, N. H., died March 11, 1934, at Concord, N. H., State Hospital, of which she had been an inmate many years, closing one chapter of a most pathetic family history.
Charles W. Stone of Denton, Md., has a son ready for college just as most of us are sending our grandsons. He claims for the boy an exceptionally fine record, and wants him to come to Dartmouth, but says pecuniary conditions threaten to send him to some institution nearer home.
Tommy Stone, as Charles W. was fondly known in college, is one of three survivors of "The Commissioners," a band of unofficial officials, led by Ike Paul, modeled somewhat on the lines of Captain Jinks and his Horse Marines, both of which gallant companies were quite famous in the late seventies. The Commissioners acted as bell boys and scouts for Tinkham's Hotel.
The Secretary is sending out in April a bulletin to bring the class history up to date, but he finds history moving at a faster pace than he is.
Secretary, 321 Highland Ave., Fitchburg, Mass.
