1880

It is with great sorrow that we are called upon to record the passing of two classmates, Charles S. Dutton who died May 17th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Venan H. Bean of Peacham, Vermont, and Willard Warner who died at his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in June last.

"Dutton" graduated from the Chandler Scientific Department with the degree of B.S. and for many years after graduation carried on the paternal farm on which he was born December 9th, 1857, in Norwich, Vermont, the second son in a family of six children.

In October 1884, he was married to Ella Frances Lyman of Norwich, who died July 24th, 1929. They had four children, two of whom Mrs. Frank P. Eldridge of West Glover, and Mary Roxjann, now Mrs. Venan H. Bean of Peacham, survive him.

For many years he suffered from a severe illness which turned out to be incurable and he finally became a confirmed invalid, so that during the remaining years of his life, he was practically confined to a wheel- chair.

He remained on the old farm so long as he was able to carry on, but finally went to live with his said daughter, Mrs. Venan H. Bean at Peacham, Vermont.

He was a member of the Congregational Church of Norwich, where the funeral services were held.

The Necrology in the July Number of this MAGAZINE contains a further account of his career.

Willard Warner known to all Classmates as "Cap" died sometime in June last; the exact date and the nature of the illness which caused his passing I have not yet learned, but it must have been of recent development, because I received a long letter from him in February last written in his characteristic style and in his usual vigorous handwriting and at that time he was apparently in good health.

"Cap" has always been deeply interested in religious and evangelical work and was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Chattanooga, since he was a very young man and served in various responsible positions in the church organizations with which he was connected.

He was a charter member of the Chattanooga Billy Sunday Evangelistic Club and devoted much time to its activities.

After graduation he was engaged for several years in the iron business as a manufacturer of pig iron and was also Secretary of the Richmond Spinning Company, a large corporation manufacturing cotton underwear. He retired from active business in 1919 and thereafter devoted much of his time to civic and church affairs.

In College he was active in athletics and outdoor life and Captain of our Class Baseball Team. Always of genial disposition, he was well liked by all classmates and impressed his associates and everyone with whom he came in contact with his integrity and sincerity and was highly esteemed by all, and his passing will be greatly regretted by all who knew him.

An extended sketch of his career appears under "Necrology" in this Issue.

Secretary and Treasurer, 10 Post Office Square, Boston, Mass.

Honoring Two Mr. William D. Parkinson, who is the '78 class agent, has four Dartmouth sons—Royal '05, Dana '08, Taintor '09, and Herman '13. In honor of their father and of the 25th anniversary of President Hopkins, the four brothers subscribed a special contribution in their father's name, to be credited to the class of 1878, for the Ernest Martin Hopkins Anniversary Fund. In the words of the brother who transmitted the gift, "This is to be a contribution to the extra anniversary fund for the personal disposal of President Hopkins for whom we all have high regard."
