1887

The unexpected death of Ed Knight August 8 removes a prominent figure, one highly respected and loved. An irreparable loss. He had recovered from a serious illness last Spring but succumbed to complications following a severe cold.

Largely through Junkins' efforts items have come from families of deceased classmates. He called oil Mrs. C. O. Cummings at the old home of "Little Doc's" parents in Claremont and found her bright and alert, and much interested in the class and college relationship A sister of Harry Hutchinson resides in Norwich and a brother, G. H. Hutchison '81, is located in Pittsburgh, Pa.....Miss Mary Dartt, Bill's sister and sole survivor of the family, is living in Bronxville, N. Y Mrs. Louise Christie, Whitman, Neb., Chamberlain's daughter, writes that her mother died in 1934.

A recent call by Junkins on Powers at Bradford, Vt. found Matt hale and hearty at 76. His wife also is well Merrill writes that his health is fairly good but that this retired life is not what it iscracked up to be—too much time to think. ....Johnson's garden continues to yield pleasure and profit: in fact the Deacon and his garden have become an institution in Bath. Several of the group have found their way to his doorstep this Summer; Junkins, Gage, Hadlock, Sanborn and Bingham Cleaves is serving on several committes of the fair in San Francisco Morse has abandoned gardening —too many slugs, and has developed a hobby in the making of articles of wood for gifts Cushman writes that he has spent much time during the hot season at his camp in Middleborough, Mass. As cotrustee with Mrs. Carpenter of the Carpenter estate he is in contact with the family. Mrs. Carpenter resides with her son James and family at Waban, Mass. The other living son, Tom has a beautiful home in S. Norwalk, Conn. He is a very upstanding business man and a credit to his father. Carp's mother lingered until almost 99 and passed away at Andover, Mass. June 12. Gage represented the class at the final services Bell has lost his position at the College of Idaho after seventeen years of service. The trustees ousted all over 65 Blakey has been absent from business this Fall, recuperating from a recent illness Winn has had printed a leaflet of verse, "Winn-owed Words-Mostly Chaif."
