1893

This is the third month in succession that your secretary has found it his sad duty to record the passing and to prepare the obituary o£ a beloved class mate. "Deacon" Kinney passed on April 24. A much loved and respected classmate, "Deacon" will be greatly missed. His cheery personality especially emphasized by his crippled condition was an inspiration at our Reunions. Our sympathy goes to Mrs. Kinney. (See In Memoriam.)

An interesting letter from John Kellar of Bethesda, Md., philosophizes on present conditions—growing and being old, and kindred subjects. He writes that his boy and girl are far apart and far from him. One in Florida the other in Alaska. John has an article in the March number of Popular Astronomy.

Had a pleasant visit with Calef not so long ago. He spends most of his time at his home in East Barrington, N. H., on the Calef Highway—a state highway named in his honor. He has given up practically all of his former state and county activities on advice of his physician, having had a set-back last August, and is only supervising by absent control his business and attending bank meetings at Dover.

Sparhawk writes from Cincinnati that his health is slowly improving, a heart condition making extreme care necessary. He recalls that '93 had seven men in the ministry (Bower-Dascomb-Gus tin-Kinney-Sails-Saltmarsh and Sparhawk).

Pelton's address is now, 338 S.W. 57th Avenue, Miami, Florida. He expresses his sorrow at the passing of Rufus Baker and Roller Mason, whom he had not seen for many years. He writes that he is well, in fact a recent physical check-up indicated that he is in normal condition, having only, at the moment, a "tired heart." He certainly looked the picture of health when your secretary visited with him three or four years ago.

Recent business trips permitted your secretary to enjoy an overnight session with Dr. Martyn at his home, and to have a pleasant Sunday afternoon visit with Judge and Mrs. Griffith at Manchester, Vt.

The "King" is well and active, but feels keenly the loss of his wife.

"Eddie" is not quite so active—says he has about decided to" give up his once-a-week nightly session of "draw." Too great a strain on his strength, but not on his pocketbookin fact quite the reverse.

Secretary, 795 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass. Treasurer, 20 Albion Street, Melrose, Mass.
