In Memoriam
1876
News has just been received of the death of GRAY RAYMOND CLARK on August 4, 1943, at St. Luke's Hospital, Davenport, lowa.
He was born in Geneva, N. Y., November 22, 1856, the son of David Lewis and Caroline (Mundy) Clark, and prepared for college at Newton, lowa. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi.
He left college at the end of freshman year, and his history for the next few years has not been learned. In 1882 he entered the employ of the United States Express Company, and was for some years a messenger on the route between Davenport and Council Bluffs, lowa, making his home in Davenport. In 1891-2 he was express messenger between Chicago and Omaha, living in Chicago. In 1892 he was appointed cashier of the company in Davenport, and in 1895 became route agent, with headquarters in Davenport. In 1907 his health no longer made it possible for him to continue in this work, and for a long time he did the lighter work of janitor of the club rooms in the Masonic Temple.
October 17, 1880, he was married to Mildred J. Beecher of Newton, lowa, who died October 1, 1883. A second marriage, September 15, 1886, was to Mary Belle Skinner of Middleport, Ohio, who survives him. There are no children.
1889
We again in less than a month are saddened by the death of another member of our class. GEORGE FRANCIS SPARHAWK. died at his home in Beaver, Penn., May 3, 1944. He had been in poor health for a long time. He was the eldest son of Luther Tucker and Josephine (Bean) Sparhawk, and was born in Randolph, Vt., September 15, 1863. His grandfather and great-grandfather were Congregational ministers in Vermont. He was a member of the first class to graduate from the High School in Randolph.
Entering Dartmouth in our class in September 1885, he graduated with us June 1889 with the degree Litt.B. His college fraternity was Phi Delta Theta. He thereupon entered the Thayer School of Civil Engineering, from which he received the degree C.E. in 1891.
He immediately began his professional career, which during the early years was largely confined to steel structures, including sky-scrapers, mill buildings for large steel working plants, and long span bridges over the larger streams of the country, such as the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
For a period of thirty-five years he was structural engineer for the American Bridge Company, retiring in June 1931. He was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. His later life was devoted to life insurance. He attended our fortieth and fiftieth reunions.
George Sparhawk married October 27, 1896, at Randolph, Vt., Miss Jessie Burt of Orange, N. J. Of this union there were two sons: John Burt Sparhawk, "born November g, 1900, now an air-borne engineer with the Armed Forces in New Guinea; and George Francis Sparhawk Jr. of Beaver, Penn., born July 30, 1903, Dartmouth 1926, recently released on account o£ age from active service with the armed forces' in Alaska and transferred to the Enlisted Reserve. Surviving, in addition to these two sons, are his wife, and a grandson and granddaughter, children of John Burt Sparhawk. Willis T. Sparhawk '93 is a brother.
A floral tribute from our class at the funeral service bore silent witness of the affectionate regard held for him by his surviving classmates.
Interment was at Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., where three generations of ancestors of Mrs. Sparhawk lie buried.
1891
Dr. ALBERT CHENEY HEATH died April 21 at St. Luke's Hospital, St. Paul, Minn., where he was suffering from Parkinson's disease.
He was born in Auburn, Me., November 10, 1868, the son of Rev. Albert Hayford and Lucy J. (Simonds) Heath. His father was a Congregational minister, and while he was a pastor in New Bedford, Mass., Albert prepared for college at Friends Academy in that city. In college he played third base on the varsity ball team. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Casque and Gauntlet.
For a short time after graduation he worked for D. C. Heath & Co., publishers, of Boston, then went to St. Paul and enrolled in the University of Minnesota Medical School, graduating in 1894. He practiced in St. Paul until his retirement, at first as a general practitioner and later as a nose, throat, and ear specialist. He was on the staffs of the City, Northern Pacific, and St. Luke's Hospitals in St. Paul, and was a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Since his retirement ten years ago he had lived at his country home near Stillwater. In 1918-20 he was president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association.
In 1901 he was married to Ray Lamprey of St. Paul, who survives him with three children: Albert C. Heath Jr., Dartmouth '25, who is in the Coast Guard; Morris L. '29, now in military service; and Eve Heath, living in New Orleans.
1896
FRED MAURICE WESTON died at his home in Santa Monica, Calif., January 24, 1944, after a long illness, and was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park at Glendale, Calif.
He was born August 31, 1873, at Manchester, N. H.,—son of Joseph R. and Sarah (Fitts) Weston and graduated from Manchester High School. Entering Dartmouth in the fall of 1892 he immediately became active in baseball, playing first base on the 1896 class team and pitching for the team known in that day as the Dartmouth Reserves. He was known to his college mates as "Big Weston" on account of his generous stature. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi.
After his graduation he entered Boston University Law School, and graduated in 1900. Instead of practicing law he devoted his energies to developing a transportation business covering Boston and the Massachusetts North Shore. During the World War 1 he was engaged in the real estate business in Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1916 attended our 20th Class Reunion in Hanover. He went to Santa Monica, Calif., in 1926, continuing active in real estate until shortly before his death.
In 1901 he was married to Julia Cox, sister of his classmate James A. Cox, who survives him, still making her home in Santa Monica.
1899
WALTER ROY EASTMAN died in Washington, D. C., April 22, after a week's illness from a heart attack. Thus a member of the Dart: mouth family who was contributing valiantly to the war effort has passed on in the midst of an activity about which little is known except to those intimately connected with it, yet which is of vital importance in meeting war-time transportation needs.
Walter Eastman was born in Hartland, Vt., April 15, 1875, son of Jerome Harrison and Bessie O. (Foster) Eastman, and his early life was spent on his father's farm in Quechee, Vt. He entered college with the class of 1897, following a year at Norwich, Vt., Academy, but finding a better preparation for college requirements would be advisable, he entered Phillips Exeter Academy. After graduation from Exeter, he again entered Dartmouth with '99.
Determining upon a railroad career, he entered the employ of the Central Vermont Railroad very shortly after graduation from Dartmouth, starting as a freight handler at White River Junction. After experience in various positions at different stations on the railroad he was transferred to Burlington as billing clerk in the freight department, and later to the general offices of the railroad at St. Albans, Vt., in the passenger department. There he was rate clerk and rose to be chief clerk—an important position.
While at St. Albans, April 26, 1905 he married Miss Florence Post, the daughter of a lawyer in that town. Two children were born to them, Jerome Post and Caroline. Jerome, a graduate of Norwich University, class of 1933, is now with the invasion forces in the South of England, and Caroline, a graduate of Tufts '37, is Mrs. Frank E. Palmer, living in LaGrange, 111.
In 1917 Walter was transferred to the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk Railway System's passenger and freight offices in Boston. After six years' experience in passenger transportation work for the railroad in Boston, he was moved in 1923 to Chicago, as assistant general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk-Canadian National System in that area. Subsequently he was promoted to general passenger agent, at Chicago, and remained in that position until his retirement, after 41 years of continuous service, at the age of 65, in 1940.
After eighteen months of retirement at his home in LaGrange, 111., Walter responded to a call to return to railroad service with the Association of American Railroads at Washington, and by reason of his broad experience in passenger transportation, and wide knowledge of railroad geography, he immediately fitted in to the important work of supervising the assembling of passenger and freight equipment for the transportation of troops and impedimenta as between the various railroads throughout the country. As the volume of this organized movement exceeds one million men each month, the importance of the work and the necessity for precision can be appreciated.
In the midst of this activity, and without warning, a sudden heart attack came Sunday night, April 16, after a busy day in the office. The seriousness of the attack was immediately apparent, and he was taken to Doctors Hospital in Washington as promptly as possible. He was placed in an oxygen tent and hope remained that he might recover, until Saturday, April 22, when he passed into a coma and died in the afternoon.
The remains were taken to the family home in LaGrange, 111., and the funeral held there at 4 P.M., Tuesday, April 25, in the Boose Funeral Home. Interment was at LaGrange.
Walter Eastman was making the contribution and the sacrifice that he most wanted to do. It was not necessary that he reenter railroad service after retirement. His son, Jerome, a reserve officer, was early called into service, and stationed at Fort Knox, Camp Polk, Fort Benning, and later Fort Meade, from which he went overseas. It is believed Walter most wanted to feel that he was backing Jerome in his efforts, to the utmost of his ability. Therein lay his great interest in the work he carried on so successfully. It is not given to many to contribute so generously.
1900
After an illness of some six months JOSEPH WENTWORTH died at the Palmer Memorial Hospital, Boston, April 7.
Joe was descended from the Wentworth family of such high importance in the colonial history of New Hampshire, and was born on January ag, 1877, at Sandwich, N, H., the son of Paul and Ellen (Dunklee) Wentworth. He attended the Holderness School for a time, but completed his preparation for college at Phillips-Andover Academy. Entering Dartmouth with the class of 1900 he soon became one of the prominent undergraduates of his day. An excellent athlete, he was a member of his class football team during his freshman year, and then succeeded Walter McCornack as regular quarterback on the varsity, playing in that position during the three following seasons and being captain in his senior year. He was also proficient in baseball, playing in the varsity outfield in the seasons of 1899 and 1900. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, of the Sphinx senior society, and of Palaeopitus in the year of its organization.
The fall after his graduation Joe coached the football team of Case School and then entered the Harvard Law School, receiving his professional degree from it in 1903. At once he became associated with the Boston law firm of Choate, Hall, and Stewart, and retained that connection to the time of his death. He became a member of the firm in 1909 and eventually was the third senior partner.
His main interest was in his profession, and he became an excellent trial lawyer. For a long period he tried liability cases for the New Haven Railroad, and more recently he served as counsel for various insurance companies in the trial of tort cases. As a lawyer he was thoroughly esteemed by his colleagues at the bar. One of them says of him, "He always fought fairly and, I think, cleverly. His natural ingenuity coupled with his careful preparation made him a hard man to defeat. It was easy for him to be honest and straightforward, and he made many friends."
Aside from a mild liking for fishing, Joe's main interest outside his profession was his home in Sandwich, which had come down in the direct line of the Wentworth family for 125 years. Here, among other improvements, he set up an elaborate flower garden, one of the show places of the region, which was opened to the public without restriction for many years. As many as 5000 people visited it annually, and yet in all that time there was not a single instance of damage or abuse by any person thus admitted. Joe was considered by the people of Sandwich as one of themselves and was consulted in all community interests. He served for many years as president of the Sandwich Historical Society. He regarded this, his birthplace, as his real home, although for the greater part of the year business kept him in Boston, where he maintained a home in Brookline.
For the last nine years Joe has been vice president of the class.
In 1924 he married Miss Alice Maude Smith of Brookline, who survives him, as does a brother John P. (Dartmouth 1903) of St. Louis. He had no children. His funeral was held in the Leslie Linsley Memorial Chapel of Emanuel Church, Boston, on April 10. Of the class Walter Rankin, Clarence McDavitt, Fred Jennings, and Joe Manion were in attendance, the first two acting as honorary pall bearers.
EDSON MOULTON BARKER died in Plymouth, N. H., on April 27, 1944.
He was born in West Campton, N. H., on May 29, 1876, the son of Charles E. and Emily (Moulton) Barker. The family removed to Plymouth when the son was ten years of age, and that town was his home for the remainder of his life. His preparatory work was done at the Plymouth High School and the Holderness School for Boys, and he entered Dartmouth from the latter school in 1896. As an undergraduate he was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, the Dragon senior society, and the Aegis board.
After graduation he taught school for a time, and then, in 1902, he entered the Plymouth post office as assistant postmaster. In 1923 he became postmaster, and continued in that position until his retirement in 1935. Since that time he has had no fixed occupation.
Barker was much interested in Masonry and held, from time to time, most of the offices in the various branches of that fraternity in Plymouth. He was also a charter member of the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce. He never married, and his only survivors are three cousins.
The funeral was held in his home at Plymouth on May 1 and burial was in Trinity Cemetery, Holderness.

The class of '44 has lost another member, the Army Air Corps an excellent pilot, and we've all lost a friend and companion in Shelly. Those of us who were closest to him, those who flew with him, knew him best and gained much from that friendship. A quiet, friendly nature, a sense of humor, a courageous spirit—we'll miss him a lot.
1945
Aviation Cadet DONALD WALTER BRUCE, son of Professor and Mrs. Harold R. Bruce of Hanover, died on April 8 in an airplane explosion accident at Columbus Army Air Field, Mississippi. He was completing advanced training prior to receiving his commission on May 23, and was tragically lost with his copilot when severely burned by flames which enveloped their plane as it successfully landed on the field after some trouble, in flight.
Don, the only son of Dartmouth's wellknown political science professor, was born in Hanover on November 15, 1923, and was educated in the Hanover schools. He was graduated with honors in 1940 from the Hanover High School and during the next year attended Exeter Academy, where he continued his excellent record. In the fall of 1941 he entered Dartmouth as a member of the Class of 1945 and became one of the prominent men in his class, as a skier, member of the Band, Orchestra, Brass Quartet and Green Collegians, and as a member of his dormitory committee, Green Key, the debate team, and as a Rufus Choate Scholar. His scholastic standing for four semesters was of Phi Beta Kappa rank, and his chief interests were history and geography.
Don withdrew from College to enlist in the Army Air Corps on March 23, 1943. For a little over a year he served at a number of training stations, including Maxwell Field, Alabama, where he graduated No. 1 in a class of 6,000 pre-flight cadets; Souther Field, Georgia, where he was the first man in his primary-flight class to solo; and Greenwood Army Air Field, Mississippi, where he passed the basic 20-hour check flight after nine hours of flying. At Columbus Army Air Field where he was killed he was in advanced training in the twin-engine school for bomber pilots.
Don was one of the most popular members of the Class of 1945, a man of sparkling personality, sterling character, and unusual ability. His death hit the class, the College, and Hanover very hard. In writing of the few hours between Don's accident and his death, the commanding officer at Columbus Field praised "the wonderful spirit" which Don displayed and reported that he showed notable courage and trust, confining his concern entirely to his parents, his co-pilot and others. His service record in the Air Corps carries this entry: "Scholarship and flying ability-superior; character and conduct—excellent."
The funeral service was held in Hanover at the Church of Christ, of which Don was a member, and burial was in Pine Knoll Cemetery. The bearers were six close associates: Cadet Ross Bryant, his roommate at Columbus and escort from the Field; Sgt. Richard Morse, A/S John Truxal, and Pfc John Gile, Hanover friends; John Wolfe '46, and Mr. Bradford Bentley of Boston, director of the boys' camp where Don had been a camper and councillor for eight summers.
Of such sacrifices as Don's is made the freedom which we all enjoy.
