1882

WALTER STUART KELLY died July 4 at his home in Brookline, Mass.

The son of Charles and Catherine W. (Ballou) Kelly, he was born in Weare, N. H., November 9, 1857. He was a descendant in the seventh generation from David O'Killea, one of the earliest settlers of Yarmouth, Mass. His forebears for three generations were textile manufacturers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He finished his preparation for the Chandler School at the Friends' School in Providence, R. I. He held first rank at graduation .

Owing to previous experience in the cotton mills, he secured at once a position as oversea in the Amoskeag Mills at Manchester, N. H During the several years which followed he applied his scientific training to the impprove' ment of processes, and in 1887 published "The Standard Yarn Tables with a treatise on ColPreparation." After a trip to England in "1886 he turned his attention to cotton mill 'realization, and exhibited to the Cotton Manufacturers Association plans for a mill driven by electric motors, probably for the first time in this country.

From this he turned his attention to other applications of the electric motor, first with the Sprague Company, who pioneered in street railways, and later with the newly formed General Electric, the Narragansett Electric Lighting Cos. of Providence, and the HolzerCabot Electric Cos. of Brooklyn. His engineering and sales experience led him to establish himself as a consulting engineer, which led him further into other fields also, among which were a simplified system for the terminals of Boston and a novel plan for the adjustment of labor-employer relations.

He was interested in religious work through the Quaker and later the Universalist bodies and the Christian Endeavor Society, and whatever he was interested in received his enthusiastic support. For the last few years he had been acting as secretary of his class.

19°5

The class of 'O5 is saddened to learn of the death of FRANK THERON CHAMBERLAIN, which occurred March 9, 1945, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harvey Cannon, in Utica, N. Y. Although Mr. Chamberlain had not been in good health the past winter, his condition was considered improved, and he had anticipated returning with Mrs. Chamberlain to their home, Knollin Farms, Sandy Creek, N. Y., to resume their customary activities.

Born in Sandy Creek, June 4, 1877, the son of Theron and Phoebe (Knollin) Chamberlain, he spent his early life in this town, graduating from Sandy Creek High School with the class of iBgg, and was later in the preparatory department of Colgate University.

June 28, 1906, he was married to Harriette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Beechling of Erie, Pa., where most of their married life was spent. To them was born four children, Martha, Jean, Calvin, and Richard.

By profession an educator, Mr. Chamberlain served in that capacity forty years, teaching in Ashtabula, Ohio,. High School for two years, and instructing in science at Central High School, Erie, Pa., for twenty years. He then became principal of Gridley Junior High School in Erie, serving in that capacity for eighteen years. Following his retirement in June 1942,. he and Mrs. Chamberlain came to Sandy Creek, taking up their residence in his childhood home. Continuing his interest in teaching, he became teacher of the high school boys' class at the Methodist church, of which he was a member.

His fraternal affiliations included Perry Lodge of F. & A. M., Erie, Lake Erie Consistory and Zem Zem Shrine, Erie.

CHARLES FREDERICK EICHENAUER was fatally stricken by a heart attack in the Masonic Temple at Hannibal, Mo., Wednesday night, September 26, 1945, at 10:10, never regaining consciousness, and dying in a few moments.

Mr. Eichenauer had suffered failing health for several years, and the preceding Tuesday had confided to friends that he had suffered a slight heart attack. The emotional strain resulting from the very recent and sudden death of his sister, Miss Amelia Eichenauer, just 19 days before, is believed to have contributed to the attack that caused his death.

He was one of Quincy's most widely known and influential citizens, despite his natural self-effacement, and was referred to by many as "Quincy's most valuable citizen."

The son of Frederick and Elizabeth (Goebel) Eichenauer, he was born in Warsaw, Ill., Oct. 9, 1881. After graduation he taught history and civics in Quincy High School in 1905-1907. He received the degree of LL.B. at Chicago-Kent College of Law in . 1909, and was admitted to the bar that year. He served as a reporter and city editor of the Quincy Daily Herald from 1909 to 1911, except for a brief interim in which he practiced law in Oklahoma City, Okla. From 1911 to 1916 he was managing editor of the Daily Herald, and in 1916 succeeded E. M. Botsford as editor.

Mr. Eichenauer remained editor of the Quincy Daily Herald until the consolidation of that paper and the Whig-Journal in 1926, when he became editor of the Quincy HeraldWhig, in which position he remained to the end of his life. In 1917-1918, during World War I, he was in service with the coast artillery at Fort Monroe, Va.

A scholarly man, Mr. Eichenauer extended his interests into many phases of the life of his community, working unselfishly and ceaselessly for the betterment of Quincy, but remaining a keen and respected student of state, national, and international affairs. His editorial columns have been followed for many years by newspaper readers in the very wide area served by the Quincy Herald-Whig.

His interests were legion. He was particularly active in the affairs of his church, the Union Methodist, where he was a member of the board, and where his special interest for many years was the teaching of a men's class in the Sunday School. He gave of his time and money, however, to many other organizations.

Among such special interests were the Y.M.C.A., the Chaddock Boys School, Cheerful Home, the Methodist Sunset Home for the Aged, and the Boy Scouts of America. He had served on the directing boards of all these organizations, and as a member of the national board of the Y.M.C.A. He served a term as president of Saukee Council of the Boy Scouts, and was awarded the Silver Beaver for his work in behalf of scouting.

Mr. Eichenauer s interest in education was a lifelong one. He privately aided a number of young Quincy men and women to further their educations, and, unknown to many, awarded annual scholarships at both CulverStockton College and Illinois Wesleyan College at Bloomington. He was in wide demand as a speaker at high school and college commencement exercises.

He was vice chairman of the Adams county chapter of the American Red Cross, and had been active in Red Cross work for 30 years. He served on the advisory board of St. Mary hospital, and also found time to serve as historian of the Adams County and Quincy Historical society.

In addition to all these things, plus the busy every.day job of directing the editorial department of the Herald-Whig, Mr. Eichenauer participated in virtually all community enterprises, playing important and often-at his own request—"behind the scenes" roles in movements that brought improvement to Quincy. He was, for example, active in secur ing the Quincy Memorial Bridge for Quinn originally, and served on the committee that recently worked out plans that freed the bridge from tolls. He helped greatly in secur ing the new municipal airport for Quincv now under consideration, and when the whole project was threatened in March of in*, played an important back-stage role in help, ing to retain this important project for Quincv

As a student of world affairs, Mr. Eichenauer made two trips to Europe with seminar groups composed of other editors, educators, and writers, in 1934 and 1937. He was in Germany and heard Adolf Hitler deliver his famed justification for the "blood bath" purge of Nazis and others, in 1934. His editorials and essays materializing from these experiences were widely read, and he lectured frequently upon his experiences and observations.

City, county, and state officials frequently sought his aid and advice, and although he avoided active participation in partisan politics, his influence was admittedly wide.

Mr. Eichenauer's work as an editor and his host of civic and charitable interests left him little time for ordinary recreations. Travel and study were his substitute for more usual recreations, although he tried to manage once a year to join for a holiday his college classmate and friend, E. E. Day, president of Cornell University.

Among the many honors received by Mr. Eichenauer during his busy life, one of the most prized, next to his attaining the thirtythird degree in Masonry, was his election as an undergraduate to Phi Beta Kappa. He also belonged to Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity.

Mr. Eichenauer belonged to many organizations, but was particularly active in the Masons, where he had held many honored posts. He was commissioned a grand lecturer in 1915; became a member of Quincy Consistory, June 30, 1916; was appointed orator of the Illinois Grand Lodge of Masons in October of 1937; was appointed to the committee for the grand master's report in 1938; was elected to receive the thirty-third degree in September of 1943, and received the degree in September of 1944.

No immediate relatives survive. Besides his sister, who died so recently, a half-brother, George Risto, died several years ago. Almost a relative, however, is Miss Lillie Herleman, aged housekeeper who for 44 years kept house and was literally a member of the family of Mr. Eichenauer and his sister.

The self-effacement, which was such an outstanding characteristic of Mr. Eichenauer, who as an associate commented Thursday "was always giving and never receiving," was his embarrassment and dislike of having his own name appear in news stories in the Hera IdWhig. He probably would not have approved of this story, and would have preferred just the brief paragraphs devoted to his career in "Who's Who in America."

1910

RUSSELL TILLINGHAST WILLIAMS died suddenly from cerebral hemorrhage at his summer home in Duxbury, Mass., July 25, 1945.

Born in Boston, Mass., September 14, the son of Henry Russell and Josephine Smith (Tillinghast) Williams, he attended schools there and entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1910, but had to leave at the end of freshman year because of the death of his father. He was in the insurance business in Pittsburgh for some time also with the Spring Coal Cos. in Boston and Carren and Burton in Providence. In 1932 he became purchasing agent of the Boston Council of Social Agencies, and later worked for the Blue Cross, with whom he was associated at time of his death.

February 2, 1918, he married Mary Elizabeth Spring who died on December 23 of that year shortly after their son, Chester, was born. June 30, 1923, he married Marjorie Mcintosh of Needham, and to them were born Robert D., a T/5 now in Germany; Elizabeth, president of the sophomore class at Skidmore; Helen, now attending Beaver Country Day School. His son Chester graduated from Dartmouth in 1941 and was discharged on points from the Army after having served 3,9 months overseas with AAF in Pacific.

"Rusty," as he was affectionately called, was one of those fellows who lead a quiet life but do a lot of good in the world. Always identified with worthwhile projects, he was on the Needham Welfare Board, active in the annual Community Fund and War Bond drives, superintendent of the Unitarian Sunday School. He was devoted to Dartmouth and to his fraternity, Theta Delta Chi.

He loved to work on the extensive home which he bought in Duxbury last year, and planned to remain there the year around—as his dream of such a life came true. "Rusty's" friends were many—and they'll miss him.

1815

WILLIAM NATHANIEL ROGERS, former Congressman from the ist New Hampshire District, and a colorful figure in the legal and political life of the Granite State for many years, died September 25, 1945, at the Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro, N. H.

From his early days in Brewster Academy, where he captained the football team, after which he held down a regular berth on the. 1915 freshman team and the following two. years on the Dartmouth varsity, football was Bill's greatest pleasure and hobby.

In 1923 he became a member of the law firm of Demond, Woodworth, Sulloway, and Rogers in Concord, and was active in the practice of law up to his death. He was a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association, and a former president of the Carroll County Bar Association; a Knight Templar and Shriner and a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Wonolancet Club of Concord, and was a member of the Episcopal church.

In college, both as a member of the freshman team and later the varsity, he is remembered as one of the rugged linemen of that period, playing a guard position as a middle of-the-line invincible. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.

Born January 10, 1892, in Sanbornville, N. H., he made his home throughout his life in that community and Wakefield, although his legal practice was centered in Concord. He was the son of Herbert E. and Lillian A. (Sanborn) Rogers, of an old New Hampshire line, and his mother survives him. He is also survived by his wife, Mrs. Margaret Rogers; two sons, Will and John of Wakefield; two daughters, Mrs. Howard Moreen of Arlington, Va., and Mrs. Putnam King of Concord, Mass.; three brothers, Herbert S. and Walter of Wakefield, and Vincent P. of Wolfeboro.
