Simonds, Mrs. Benjamin S.—A recent letter from Mrs. Simonds indicates that she is meeting the crisis o£ Ben's passing heroically- She is living in the old home at pottsville, Pa., 1806 Mahantongo St. Ben will be missed at our 50th. His cheery areeting, his friendly disposition, and his sterling qualities, which we had all come to appreciate, made him a vital factor in all our class gatherings. Mrs. Simonds writes that up to the last he talked much of our coming reunion. So it is up to us to fill the gap. Please turn to Necrology for as much of Ben's life story as has come to the Secretary up to this writing.
Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
