1891

A letter from Burbank tells of a series of terrific rains with more than 40 inches and two floods, the second doing serious damage. At the time he was still working to repair the damage. Like many others he faces the serious conditions caused by taxes and rising living costs and the lowering of income, as it is difficult to reinvest for more than 3%.

We all are glad that his health now allows him to return to the local Library Board from which his serious illness of five years ago forced his resignation.

He is also a member of the Red Cross Committee to provide for the registration and temporary care of refugees in case of war disaster.

A letter from Mrs. Conant tells of the last illness of her husband and speaks of the "many floral tributes of great beauty showing the love of his friends for him." Clarence Willey represented Ninety-One at the services.

Mrs. Richardson has recently written the secretary telling that Dan was in the hospital for almost a month and in very serious condition at one time. The shock of the three burns had a serious effect on him, but he recovered fairly well. It is interesting to know that their daughter has adopted a second child naming him Dan Richardson Evans, much to the pleasure of Dan, it is needless to say.

From E. C. Sturgis, who was with us during freshman year, comes the news that our youngest member will be seventy years of age on November 29, then entitled to go on the pension roll. He gets by on 4 gallons of gas, plus a B card! His best item is that he uses natural gas, and, in fact, is hooked on to a 16 inch gas main.
