Necrology
1876
GEORGE GOODHUE, the son of Horace and Clarissa (Braley) Goodhue, was born in Westminster West, Vt., May 24, 1853. His common school education in Vermont was followed by a preparation for college in Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., where his brother, Horace Goodhue (Dartmouth '67), was professor of Greek for forty years. Immediately after his graduation he accepted a position as professor of chemistry at Miami Valley College, Springsboro, Ohio, where he continued to teach for two years. Medical study was begun with a year at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, continued for one year at the Dartmouth Medical School and for a third year at the University of the City of New York. After receiving the degree of M.D., he served for a year as house surgeon in the Brooklyn City Hospital. His medical education included also a course in ophthalmology.
In 1881 he started a practice of medicine in Dayton, Ohio, which was continued till within a very few years of his death, which occurred February 15, 1939. He was deeply interested in the founding of the Miami Valley Hospital and was a visiting surgeon there for forty years. He became a fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1914. He married, June 17, 1885, Miss Rose Kendall of Terre Haute, Ind.; she died January 2, 1920. January 25, 1922, he married Miss Mary R. Brown of Dayton, who survives him. He had no children.
Goodhue early in his college course became an outstanding member of '76. Physically, he towered above all the other members of the class. His nickname was "Shorty." A kindly nature, a breezy, social personality, made him everywhere welcome. He had an adventurous spirit, a happy and compelling urge to pioneering which became an important element in his success as a surgeon, and gave a heightened interest to all his experiences.
After settling in Dayton his practice increased rapidly and vacations became a necessity. These recreation seasons (they could hardly be called rests) were often spent in Florida. One of his fishing experiences off the coast of Florida was reported at length as a supplement to one of the '76 class reports. He was thoroughly loyal to class and college. One does not recall that he was ever absent from reunions. He even attended the 60th when almost too feeble to walk about unaided. A few years before his death he wrote out his "Impressions of Dartmouth in the Seventies," to be read at a meeting of the Medical Society of Dayton. A copy of this illuminating and most interesting document has been deposited in the archives of Baker Library.
To continue further an account of Goodhue would be to multiply instances of his faithfulness, devotion, and skill as a practising physician, his definite achievement as a surgeon, his whimsical humor, and his unwasting cultivation of life's finer ideals and loyalties.
1878
GEORGE IRVING HARVEY died in Carthage, Mo., October 10, 1938. He was born October 21, 1853. Neither his birthplace nor the names of his parents appear on the college records, but he came to college from Waterford, Vt., he alluded to Vermont as homeland, and he prepared for college at St. Johnsbury, so may be classed as a Vermonter.
His father was killed at Cold Harbor in 1864, and he was, as he said, "left alone at the age of ten, life to be fought out as best might, without a guide, without even a counselor, a strong will, a stronger temper, pugnacious, prone to attack for the joy of combat—what might be expected?"
In old age, after a long and useful career, he recorded himself content with the answer. He brought with him to college the named traits, somewhat curbed, and entered strenuously into class life, well to the front of all freshman battles. He it was that wore the high hat for the rush. Although he was with the class only one year, and out teaching a ~ood part of that, he won for himself a large place in the class affections. That winter school was in John Gray's home town, and "Gike," as he was fondly known, never forgot the week-end hospitality of Gray's family all winter. Later he and Gray were associated in school work in Kansas, where both were school superintendents in the eighties. Harvey was also principal of a large ward school in Kansas City, Mo., for a time, but later entered the U. S. Indian Service, first in school work, then as chief of the Royalty Division under the superintendent of the Five Tribes, having charge of all matters pertaining to Indian oil and gas leases, collecting moneys due from lessees, hearing and deciding all controversies arising out of those leases, sometimes involving millions, with eminent counsel appearing before him. His duties also took him frequently to Washington to look after Indian interests, and brought him into familiar personal relations with many of the leading senators and representatives of those days.
He was retired in 1923 at the age of 70, and leaving Muskogee, Oklahoma, which had been his headquarters and his home, he purchased a small farm in the suburbs of Carthage, Mo., and settled down to support himself raising grapes, strawberries, and poultry, and to read and smoke, the former of which he said had been, next to his wife, the chief inspiration of his life. In this way the years passed cheerfully and happily until 1932, when a long and severe illness left his left side paralyzed. Unable to carry on the farm, he disposed of it to a local institution in exchange for a promised life annuity, and returned to Muskogee. But the depression crushed the vendee, the annuity failed, he came back to Carthage to repossess the farm, and there continued his reading, keeping up a lively interest in affairs a few more years.
Politically, he had been an ardent Republican until 1932, when he turned with all his aggressiveness to Roosevelt, but the New Deal soon quenched his enthusiasm. He was an Odd Fellow, high in the ranks of Masonry, a member of S. A. R. and of the Mayflower Society, a communicant of the Episcopal church.
He was married in the early nineties. His correspondence makes frequent allusions to domestic felicity, and latterly to utter dependence upon his wife's care. Mrs. Harvey survives him, but has been very ill since his death. They had no children.
1882
REV. WILLLIAM GEORGE POOR, who for the last 20 years was pastor o£ the Congregational church o£ Upton, Mass., died February 7, 1939, at the Houghton Rest Home, Westboro, Mass., following a paralytic stroke.
"Billy," as his classmates always called him, was born June 13, 1858, at Andover, Mass., the son of Joseph William and Abby M. (Reynolds) Poor.
He prepared for college at Punchard Free School and Phillips Academy, Andover. His college fraternity was Psi Upsilon.
From graduation he went to Yale Divinity School, took the three years' course, and won the degree of B.D.
He was ordained in his home church at Andover, and began home missionary work at Paola, Kansas. While there he organized the Christian Endeavor for Kansas in 1887, and was president of the first Kansas C. E. Union.
May 9, 1889, he married Harriet M. Taylor of Paola, and of this union there were three children. She died November 28, 1924. June 9, 1928, he married Carrie P. G. Nelson. He had pastorates at Chicopee Falls, Mass., Keene, N. H., Lowell, Topsfield, Petersham, and Boylston, Mass., and lastly at Upton, Mass.
As Upton's Bicentenary approached, he was appointed town historian, and when the celebration came off in June 1935 he had a 200- page book ready. "All this research work," he wrote, "was a heavy strain and pulled on my vitality."
Poor has had ill health to contend with in recent years, and several times tendered his resignation as pastor. Recognizing his long service and devotion to duty, his congregation always refused to accept it.
As a former class historian once wrote, "Poor has had his measure of affliction, trial, and sorrow, but he has kept the simple faith that was in him, has been the same smiling, genial, friendly chap that we were always so glad to see and who blessed whatever places he was in." He had a personality that endeared him to all who met him.
He is survived by his widow, three children, and three grandchildren. He had the "Dartmouth spirit" and was a regular contributor to college and class activities. It can well be said of him, "He had kept the whiteness of his soul and thus men o'r him wept."
1884
CHARLES HOWE ELDREDGE died at Chicago, 111., on February 8, 1939, of chronic bronchitis, after a brief illness. He was born June 13, 1861, at Fond du Lac, Wis., the third and youngest son of Charles A. and Ann Maria (Bishop) Eldredge. He had two sisters, one of whom, Miss Adda Eldredge, of Chicago, is the only surviving member of his family. He prepared for college at Fond du Lac High School, graduating in 1880, and chose Dartmouth for his Alma Mater.
His classmates will cherish most his social, courtly, and manly qualities directed toward everyone with whom he came in contact, not only during his college days, but throughout his life.
Upon graduation, he moved to Chicago and became associated with the commission house of Edward Bacon & Company as accountant, and later was employed by Hamill & Company, commission merchants, as manager. Thereafter, in 1889, he engaged in the insurance business as his lifework, and successively associated himself first with the Preferred Accident Insurance Company, the New York Life Insurance Company at Chicago, and then for forty years with the United States Casualty Company, becoming its agent at Chicago, resident manager, resident vice president, and, at the time of his death, general agent of the Company.
His genial qualities, polished manner, and fidelity to his business enlisted the friendship of a legion of men of all classes, and served ever to increase his clientele and build up a larger volume of insurance for his company. For the past two years he was practically forced to retire from his activities on account of his recurring ailment.
He was married April 30, 1889, to Mrs. Kate Eddy Withington, of Chicago, who died April 25, 1931, leaving two daughters by a former marriage.
His funeral services were held at the Jordan Undertaking Rooms in Chicago, Rev. Dr. Brown of St. James Episcopal church conducting the service. His body was cremated and the urn containing his ashes taken to Fond du Lac and interred in Rienzi Cemetery beside Mrs. Eldredge in the Eldredge Lot. The Rev. Dean Dawson of St. Paul's Cathedral read the commitment service.
Charles Eldredge was one to attract and impress men and women alike: cordial and generous, of ready wit and sparkling repartee, without guile or questionable double entendre—never one to give offense, he was a favorite in every company. Many of his classmates who visited him at Chicago in his maturer years will give ample testimony to his bounty as a royal host; and those of us who met him on the occasions of our reunions will recall with pleasant memories how greatly he animated us by his personality, fellowship, and generosity.
Loyal to his friends, of strict probity in his business relations, admired by all with whom he became associated, courtly, without ostentation, beloved of his classmates, we mourn his loss as a worthy Dartmouth alumnus, and honor his memory as a chivalrous gentleman.
1886
Our able, faithful, and beloved classmate KARL HENRY GOODWIN has "gone west," Mrs. Goodwin sent a clipping from an Evanston, 111., paper which she says "is the most accurate of any of several such notices and contains the main facts. The funeral services were very beautiful. Thank the class for the beautiful flowers sent by '86." The clipping reads thus.
"Karl H. Goodwin, editor of the American Educator Encyclopedia, whose home was at 1307 Judson Ave., died Sunday in the Evanston Hospital after an illness of a week. Mr. Goodwin, who was 74 years old, was a graduate of Dartmouth in the class of 1886, and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and of the Dartmouth Club of Chicago.
"During his entire career Mr. Goodwin had been in the publishing business. For many years he was associated with D. C. Heath and Cos., and then went to New York to join Silver, Burdett, and Company, school publishing house. In 1920 he returned to Chicago to become connected with the Bellows-Reeve Company, establishing his residence in Evanston. He later became associated with the United Educators, Inc.
"Surviving are his wife, Abigail M. Goodwin; a daughter, Miss Pauline Goodwin, who lives at home; and a sister, Mrs. Mabel Bellows of Battle Creek.
"Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 at St. Mark's Episcopal church. with Dr. Harold L. Bowen officiating. Burial was private."
I also pass on to every 'B6 man, and to all his other friends, this tribute to Karl from his business associates who knew him best.
"MR. GOODWIN'S LAST QUARTERLY
"Sunday, February 12, our beloved editor, Karl H. Goodwin, passed away. For over fourteen years he has been editing our loose leaf extension and has produced during that time more than 3500 pages of copy on late developments in art, science, literature, current history, etc.
"In a clear, easy style he has boiled down the mass of miscellaneous material that for so many years flowed across his desk. Always subject to his own likes and dislikes and to vast amounts of propaganda, he has maintained an objective viewpoint in his work that has made our quarterly a stable, illuminating, current reference publication of high order. We are proud of the work, and through it we have won thousands of friends for our publication. In addition to his work on the quarterly he did great service on revision work in the American Educator Encyclopedia.
"Always cheerful and fair, he was the perfect gentleman in all his associations. We have indeed lost a true and great friend."
A letter from our classmate, Ned Ross, who knew Karl for years before the rest of us met him at Dartmouth, likewise helps us to realize that from boyhood Karl radiated the qualities his last business associates in Chicago have described. Ned says, "Karl and I were classmates in the public schools and Academy, St. Johnsbury, Vt., as well as in college. He was always a good student, was well liked by all and popular socially. His sister Mabel was a fine singer."
That Karl was to be happy in his fifty-two and one-half years of work with publishers in Boston, New York, and Chicago, he himself gives us these intimations in the 1889 Class Report, edited by Arthur H. Chase. These are Karl's prophetic words:
"In September (1886) I came to Boston and accepted a position with the Interstate Publishing Cos., then just starting in business. Continuing with them, in time I was appointed general agent, which position I still hold. What the future may bring I do not know, but it is likely that I shall remainin the publishing business. It is a very agreeable work, full of variety, and free frommany objectionable features which characterize some kinds of business."
For evidence of the "variety" in Karl's last months of work and for illustration of the clarity of his mind during the last months of 1938, each lover of Karl should send to the United Educators, 6 North Michigan Ave., Chicago, for Karl's last 64-page editorial job, "No. 47 World Topics Quarterly, a condensed record of important events and developments of special interest throughout the world."
So long as consciousness in this or any other world remains with those of us who knew him, Karl cannot die.
1888
ALEXANDER HAMILTON GILMORE died February 5, 1939, at his home in New Castle, Pa., where he had lived for the past 26 years.
He was born in Fairlee, Vt., June 2, 1866, the son of William H. and Mary T. Gilmore. His father was adjutant general of the state of Vermont.
Alexander was prepared for college at the Vermont Military and St. Johnsbury Academies.
After leaving college during sophomore year he entered the newspaper field, being associated with the Boston Globe, the Macon (Ga.) Journal and other papers in the South, and later with the Herald and the News of New Castle, Pa. On retiring from journalism he was elected to the position of justice of the peace for Neshannock township. Here he remained until he retired at the age of 70 years. For a better understanding of his work as justice we suggest reading his letter to Pattee reprinted in the class report of 1933.
In college Gilmore attended the Episcopal church and was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity.
In igog he married Miss Lillian Wilmot of Lowell, Mass., who survives him. There were no children.
1890
ALBERT HUGO BAEHR fitted for college in his home city of Cleveland. He was a fine-looking fellow of athletic build, and was popular among his college mates. He was an outstanding athlete and made a name for himself in college, and afterwards in the world of sport, as it existed in those days. He pitched on the varsity baseball team, and was a member of the varsity football team.
He did not graduate, but left college to go into business with his brothers in Cleveland, running the famous Baehr Brewery. When this was absorbed by the trust in 1898, "Bruin" became associated with the Cleveland Pump and Fixture Cos. About three years later he retired from business owing to ill health.
He died very suddenly of heart failure on November 7, 1902, at his Cleveland home.
Baehr married Meta Neckes of Cleveland. His daughter Anna (Mrs. Marsh) is deceased. His son, Albert M. Baehr, is a prominent business man of Cleveland. There were no grandchildren.
WILLIAM LEVI BUNKER left college our freshman year. In 1893 he married Josephine Harriman. There were no children.
After teaching- several years, he and Mrs. Bunker moved to 19 Eleanor Road, Springfield, Mass. He took up public accounting and became the senior member of Tatlor, Bunker Cos.
Bunker died in Springfield, April 23, 1937. He was dependable and ever faithful in his work.
1897
It is a satisfaction to record the well planned, orderly, and effective life of SELDEN CORNELIUS SMITH.
He was born in northern Vermont of a family of the substantial New England type. The tradition of these families is, "Pay your bills, help your neighbors, and lay up something. Move seldom, make friends, own real property, and hold public office. Marry carefully and send your sons to college. Do your work early."
From 1897 to 1939 Smith worked for but one firm, Ginn and Company, the great publishing house which has always had close Dartmouth connections. First on foot and by sleigh he made sales by visiting inconspicuous village school principals in the New Hampshire mountains. At the end he was one of the senior partners, and he had been a member of the firm for an even thirty years. In the spring of 1898 he began his work in California as field representative for the company. In time he became manager of the San Francisco office with charge of the interests of the company on the West Coast.
In the summer of 1899 Smith, then but twenty-four, came East and was married to* his classmate in St. Johnsbury Academy, Emily G. Ritchie, a graduate of Wellesley. 1897. For some years the Smiths have lived among the oak trees on a Berkeley hillside in a home so gracious that foot-tired classmates have found restful entertainment there.
Margaret was born in 1900, Ritchie Cornelius in 1904. Ruth Shirley in 1908, and David Parkhurst in 1913. A family like this keeps parents young and requires college expenses for but one at a time. The sons are Dartmouth graduates and the daughters alumnae of Wellesley.
All are married and well married to their own happiness and to family satisfaction. Smith was a grandfather before he was 55 and repeatedly since, and his was the comfort of knowing his own grandchildren.
Smith was a trustee of Mills College, a church trustee and Sunday school superintendent, a member of the city Charity Commission, and head of Community Chest campaigns. His personal interest in Dartmouth and in his class never slackened. He was class agent. Both sons were Dekes like their father, and one at least was listed as an outstanding scholar. One daughter was married to a University of California professor and one son to a daughter of a Dartmouth graduate. The older son is highly esteemed as a representative of his father's firm. The younger daughter is the wife of the youngest partner of Ginn and Company. Three of the children have their homes in Berkeley, and all were with their father during his last sickness.
At his office, at the club, in his home, at his cabin on the high Sierras, Smith was a most friendly man. He liked people and had confidence in them. He supported social movements and gave liberally to worthy causes. He aided college students, he contributed to the needs of classmates and others in misfortune.
A college and business associate for many years has written, "Selden Smith was a genuine, sincere man, loyal to his friends—he ran true; radiated geniality and good cheer, and was the most even-tempered man I ever met. He was alert, industrious, thrifty, and had tact and rare judgment."
After 60 years of robust health, he began to note physical weaknesses, but he continued to do his daily work, and in November he was in Boston to attend for the thirtieth time the annual meeting of his firm. Those who saw him knew that he was finishing the work assigned to him. He died in his fornia home on February 26, leaving his widow, children, grandchildren, an honorable name, a notable record.
Smith was but 64. He had lived up to the family tradition; he did his work early.
1898
WILLIAM HOWARD MIDDLETON died February 24, 1939. at Rochester, N. Y. He was born at Webster, N. Y„ on July 10, 1876, youngest of three children of John and Harriett (Kennedy) Middleton, at the old homestead where his mother, his maternal grandfather, and great-grandfather were born. He graduated from Webster High School in 1894 and in the fall entered Dartmouth.
For the first seven years after graduation he was engaged in educational work, teaching first in Brooklyn and later in Boston. He tutored for some time the son of Judge Powers of the celebrated law firm of Powers (•74), Hall ('92), and Jones ('94).
In 1905 he entered the employ of the Pfaudler Company of Rochester, N. Y., in the auditing department, to whose business (world-known manufacturers of glass-lined tanks) he devoted the remainder of his life, rising first to the position of comptroller and then to the position of treasurer, which he held during the last five years. During the last year he supervised, in addition to his other duties, the expenditure of a milliondollar bond issue for the erection of an addition to their plant in Rochester. His devotion to this business was untiring, working nights and Sundays. It was for this reason chiefly that he was unable to attend his fortieth reunion last spring. The ultimate result was a nervous breakdown on December 1 last, and he was given leave of absence to recuperate. But the tired mind and body could not respond in enforced idleness. Endocarditis, similar in its effects to septicemia, followed the break in the nervous system, and even the valiant efforts of noted physicians in consultation could not save him. The end, however, was sudden and unexpected. He had been removed to the hospital for blood transfusion. He was resting comfortably in the evening, but at 10:30 that night he suddenly expired, the result of embolism on that pait of the brain which controls the breathing.
Middleton never married. For the past eight years he had lived with his sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence W. McKay of Rochester, N. Y. McKay is a member of the class of '93. Mr. Middleton left one other brother, Dr. Arthur Renwick Middleton, senior professor of chemistry in Purdue U.
The press of Rochester paid generous tribute to Middleton's unselfish and • untiring devotion to the interests of his company. His many friends paid like tribute to his unselfish devotion to the happiness and welfare of his friends and associates.
He was buried at Webster in the midst of his long line of maternal ancestors.
1923
FRANCIS EDWARD ROGERS died at the New Rochelle (N. Y.) Hospital on January 5, 1939.
He was born in New York City November 2g, 1901, the son of Howard James and Eliza- beth Dunbar (Jeffrey) Rogers.

He is survived by his wife. Helen Hohl Rogers, and by his father.
THAYER SCHOOL
1895
JOHN YOUNG JEWETT died February 1, 1938. at his home in Paso Robles, Calif.
The son of Benjamin Quincy and Huldah Maria (Brown) Jewett, he was born in Gilford, N. H., February 16, 1870, and obtained his early education in the public schools of Gilford, preparing there for the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, which has since become the University of New Hampshire and from which he graduated in 1890.
After graduation from the Thayer School he took up cement as a specialty, and in June 1896 was appointed cement inspector of the Metropolitan Water Works of Boston. In July 1904 he became the cement expert of the United States Reclamation Service. He organized and conducted the laboratory for the testing of cements and related materials at Denver. This laboratory was taken over by the National Bureau of Standards in July 1917, and Mr. Jewett became associate engineer physicist. In October 1918 he went to San Diego, Calif., to open a new laboratory under the same bureau. In August 1919 this laboratory was taken over by the city of San Diego, and he became testing engineer for the city, and remained in the service of the city until his retirement, June 30, 1937, during the last eight years being also director of the Water Biological Laboratory. After his retirement he made his home at Paso Robles.
Mr. Jewett had been an associate member of the American Society of Civil Engineers since 1910, and was in 1926 president of the San Diego section of the society. He was a member of other professional societies. A lifelong Congregationalist, he was for many years an officer of Plymouth church in San Diego.

DR. HUBERT JAMES GARRY, prominent dentist of Methuen, Mass., died suddenly January 26, 1939, aboard the S.S. Statendam as the vessel neared Barbados on a winter cruise. It is believed that Doctor Garry suffered a heart attack.
Bert was born in Lawrence, Mass., June 29, 1891, and attended the Methuen High School, matriculating at Dartmouth, then attending Harvard Dental School. He established practice in Methuen about twenty years ago.
While at Hanover he was a member of Chi Phi. In later years he became a golfer, and was highly rated among the clubs in his vicinity.
We quote from the Lawrence EveningTribune... ."The late Dr. Garry was well known and respected both in his profession and by people of all walks of life. Of a cordial and genial disposition, he had a legion of friends who learned of his sudden and untimely passing with genuine sorrow. He is survived by his wife, Mary (Barrett); a son, John, a daughter, Dorothy, and a brother and sister."
It is regretted that further details as to the funeral are not available.
