1886

The following information about members of the class and their families has been gleaned from the many replies received to inquiries made about Christmas time. Liberal excerpts from these letters will be distributed to the writers in pamphlet form.

FROST, Mrs. Edwin B. is the busiest person imaginable, both in St. Petersburg, where she is president of a Garden Club of seven hundred members, and in Williams Bay, Wise., where she spends her summers. Her daughter Katharine has left the Concord Book Shop, on State St., Chicago, where she was connected for many years, but gives book talks to clubs while visiting her mother on weekends in their home, near the observatory in which Ed did his famous work.

HOWARD, Mrs. Elmer F. is living in Northfield, Mass., where Elmer did so much of his work as an educator. Their son Newton lives in Bartlett, N. H., and helps Granville with his many business interests in that place. Newton has two children in the Service, a son who is stationed in England with the Air Force in which he is a technical corporal, and a daughter, whose husband is in sea service with the Marines as a Marine engineer.

QUIMBY, William L. lives at Longwood Towers, Broolcline, and maintains his law office at 45 Milk St., Boston, which, he has adorned with group pictures of '86 as freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Maybe it is these pictures that have spoiled Quibe's interest in class reunions, leading him to prefer to visualize us as we were, rather than see us as we are. He sends his best wishes and highest regards to all of his classmates.

RICHMOND, Dr. Allen P., who was eightythree on January 10, is living quietly in Hingham, Mass., with his daughter Eleanor. His son Allen, now a lieutenant colonel in an anti-aircraft battery, is stationed at Camp Edwards on the Cape. Pete sent us a snap shot of himself and two of the colonel's small children, which might be labeled "contentment plus." His grand-daughter, Eleanor Huse, who attended him at our 55th Reunion, has announced her engagement to a fellow student in the U. of N. H., who is now an aviation cadet in training at St. Angelo, Texas.

JENKS, Mrs. Chancellor L. divides her time between her old home in Evanston, Ill., where her son Herbert lives also, and Carmel, Calif., with her daughter Ruth, Mrs. Earl DeMoe. Ruth's son Earl Jr. is a lieutenant (jg) in the Naval Air Service, and her daughter Babette has just received her "Wings" as a graduate from the Ferry School for Air Pilots at Avenger Field, Texas. She writes that "she always feels a part of the dear '86 class."

SMITH, Dr. Henry O. has served as a trustee of the public library of Hudson, N. H., ever since it was founded fifty years ago. He wrote an historical sketch of the Nashua Memorial Hospital for its fiftieth anniversary celebration in October. Ever since he returned from medical school to carry on the work of his father in his native town, Spud has been the good old G.P. (general practitioner) that we read about, but seldom see these days. His son Deering is also a doctor, and has charge of procurement and assignment of physicians in New Hampshire for war service. His grandson, Bob Smith, whom we were so pleased with at our 55th Reunion, is a hospital attendant as part of his Army training. It runs in the blood.

NEWTON, James W. is spending the winter at 534 South Interlachen Ave., Winter Park, Fla. On arrival his doctor sent him to a local hospital for two weeks, and put him on half time after his discharge. This will explain why his friends did not receive cards and letters at Christmas as usual.

THURSTON, Henry W. is home again after severe operations in November. At last reports he is convalescing according to schedule and feeling much better than we expected he would, when Billy Newton and Biff Kelly visited him while en route to Florida before Christmas.

Secretary and Treasurer, Hudson, N. H.
