1900*

Emma, wife of Leonard W. Tuttle, died at her home in Larchmont, N. Y., on December 12, at the age of 49 years. She had not been in normal health for a number Of years, but at the end her death was very sudden. Her maiden name was Emma Egstrom and her marriage took place at New Haven, Conn., on April 2, 1920. The sympathy of all the class goes out to Len in his bereavement. He plans to continue his residence in Larchmont, moving to a smaller apartment.

The residence of Fred C. Smith is now given as 3621 Newark St., Washington, D. C.

Joe Wentworth had a narrow escape recently as a result of being hit on the head by a three pound marlin spike, dropped from a point on a mast some forty feet above him. The spike was badly bent but Joe emerged triumphant after an attendance of an hour or so in a hospital, with the application of a few stitches. He now claims to be in as good condition as ever. The Secretary refrains from obvious conclusions about the relative hardness and durability of certain objects which other less considerate and tactful Secretaries might and probably would draw from the incident.

Harry Hutchins' son, Frank, an Episcopal rector, has removed from Yonkers and is now in charge of a number of churches in Texas, with headquarters at St. John's, in Clarendon, near Amarillo. Harry himself is as inquisitive as ever, recently propounding to the Secretary the problem of how the hands may be protected from hot objects without loss of delicacy of touch. The Secretary "dunno," so the question is passed on to the class for solution. Why Harry wants to feel delicately in a hot place he does not say.

Ben Prescott's latest occupation is bargaining for, buying and testing bells. A client of his recently bequeathed $20,000 for the purchase and installation of a chime of ten bells in the tower of the Congregational Church at Milforcl. Some slight difference of opinion evidently developed concerning the type of bells to be procured, with Ben, as is customary, acting as conciliator and moderator. The biggest of the bells, weighing 1800 pounds, was recently cast at the Meneely Bell Foundry at Troy, N. Y., with a number of Milford people, including Ben, in attendance.

Since the above notes were written word has been received of the death of Paul G. Redington at Staunton, Virginia, on January 12. Further notice will appear in the March issue.

Secretary, 11 N. Park St., Hanover, N. H.
