1871

GILMAN HAZELTON JENNESS, died at Chester, N. H., on November 1, 1938. He was born on a farm in the neighboring town of Derry on February 21, 1850, his parents being Abram and Abigail (Hazelton) Jenness. From 1864 to 1867 he attended Pinkerton Academy in Derry. In college he was a student of high rank and had the distinction of delivering the Greek Oration at Junior Exhibition. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. Nearly all Dartmouth men of his day tried their hand at teaching, and Mr. Jenness taught two schools, one while he was in college and one afterwards, one or both of them in Salem, N. H.

From his mother Mr. Jenness inherited a small farm in Chester, a mile or more from the village, on the Haverhill road, where most of his long life has been spent, his sister being his companion until her death several years ago. Since that time he has been alone, for he was never married. His residence in Chester was broken only by a few yearly periods in Illinois.

On account of failing strength, the last weeks of his life were spent at the house of a neighbor, where he received that care and attention which people of advanced age so much need. There, while he was in good spirits and moving about freely, his death came quietly as he was eating his lunch.

Mr. Jenness was not known to many, nor was he ever seen at class reunions. Even to his neighbors, as they saw him go by on his bicycle to the village church, he probably seemed a very peculiar person. In truth he was a man of superior mind, of exemplary industry, and strict probity. In his independence and gentle dignity he reflected the long line of sturdy and prosperous ancestors from which he sprang.
