The son of Dr. David Onslow and Mary H. (Greeley) Smith, he was born in Hudson, December 18, 1864, and prepared for college at Nashua High School. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi.

Leaving college at the end of sophomore year, he began the study of medicine, and graduated as M.D. from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1887. After a year's service at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn he began a life-long practice in his native town.

Always active in local affairs, he served on the school board for 24 years, had been a trustee of the public library since 1893 and a member of the board of health. In World War I he was chairman of the local committee on public safety, and in the present war served as chairman of emergency service of civilian defence.

He was long active in the Hillsborough County and New Hampshire Medical Societies, and was speaker of the state society in 1925-6, its president in 1929-30, and a member of its board of trustees from 1933 to 1942, when he was made trustee emeritus.

1892

DON CARROLL BLISS died suddenly from an attack of coronary thrombosis at his home in Biloxi, Miss., on May 19.

He was born in Corinth, Vt., March 9, 1868, the son of Willis R. and Harriet (Prescott) Bliss, and fitted for college at Thetford Academy. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, and graduated with an A.B. degree and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Later degrees were A.M. from Columbia, 1906, Ph.D. from New York University, and Doctor of Pedagogy from Dartmouth, 1917.

After graduation he taught at Northville, Mich., 1892-8; was superintendent of schools at Arlington, N. J., 1898 to 1907; at Brockton, Mass., 1907-10; at Elmira, N. Y., 1910-12; at Montclair, N. J., 1912-23. From 1923 to 1930 he was president of the New Jersey State Teachers College at Trenton. He taught in summer schools at Columbia University, the University of Vermont, and Dartmouth, lectured at many institutes, contributed constantly to educational journals, and published a volume on Local School Surveys, in a number of which he had taken part. He was a broad-minded, progressive, and effective school man, who developed school systems which rank among the best in the country and made him a recognized leader in educational work.

He was married in 1894 to Miss Frances McConnell, who survives him, as does a son, Don C. Bliss Jr. (Dartmouth 1918), now with the United States Trade Commission, assigned to the embassy in London.

1894

QUINCY BLAKELY was bora in Campton, N. H., April 12, 1872. His parents were Rev. Quincy and Gertrude (Sykes) Blakely, who served the Congregational church in Campton twenty-four years. He was the youngest of six children—three sons and three daughters. All six fitted for College at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, Academy. The three sons went to Dartmouth, the three daughters to Mt. Holyoke. The quality of the family may be illustrated by a note from President Hopkins: "Quincy Blakely's brother Gilbert was my instructor in English for the last two years at Worcester Academy and I came to have great appreciation for the qualities of the Blakely family as exemplified in him. Later I found that these were common to Quincy likewise."

Coming to college thus in the wake of his brothers Gilbert, '88, and David, '89, he very soon secured a place on his own account. He was class historian in freshman year, and naturally gave the "Chronicles" in the Class Day exercises of his senior year. His fraternity was Deke, his senior society was Casque and Gauntlet. He had honors in English and made Phi Beta Kappa. It was a happy and a successful college course.

After spending a year in the Dartmouth Bank, with which he had been associated during his college days, he went to Yale Divinity School, and graduated in the class of 1898.

Ordained in 1898 to the Congregational ministry, he had a pastorate of seven years at South Glastonbury, Conn. Here he was married to Anna Mary Twitchell, daughter of a well-known New Haven minister. It was a rarely happy marriage. Twins were born to the couple, but died in infancy. From South Glastonbury, he had the distinction of being called to a stronger church near-by, viz., Farmington, and he remained at Farmington for thirty-two years. It was a highly significant pastorate, not only in its length, but in the ties which bound him and his people together.

He became ill at Winter Park, Florida, the latter part of February, and hovered between life and death until the end came in the Hartford Hospital June 13. The funeral was held in Farmington. The Class was represented by Sherman, who served as honorary pall-bearer, and by E. M. Stone and C. C. Merrill. The body was cremated, and the ashes were interred at Northampton, Mass. He is survived by Mrs. Blakely and by a sister, Miss Bertha Blakely, for many years librarian at Mount Holyoke College.

A re-reading of his letters to the Class during the years shpws the depth of his interest and the warmth of his affection. His service as class chaplain at the 30th and 50th reunions will never be forgotten. He undertook to sketch briefly the life of each man who had gone and did it in such a way that he made each one come alive again. The impression he made, not only here, but throughout his life, might be summed up in what Maurice Sherman wrote as an editorial in The Hartford Courant: "The genuineness of this man, his unfailing courtesy and kindness, his complete modesty, all were reflected in a smiling countenance that utterly failed to reveal a trace of the many illnesses he had suffered."

1895

HOWARD CARL RUMERY died at his home in Ossipee, N. H., May 9, after a prolonged illness seriously affecting his heart.

He was born March 17, 1873, at Effingham, N. H., the son of Aldo M. Rumery. He prepared for college at Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, N. H. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank.

He graduated from the law school of Lake Forest University in 1898 and immediately opened a law office in Chicago, and continued his law practice there until failing health forced his retirement in 1939. He then retired to Ossipee, N. H., his old home town, where he lived a quiet life until he died. His heart gradually weakened until he was confined to his room most of the time for the last two years.

In 1905 he married Laura Asher, who survives him, leaving no children.

JOHN GAULT died at his home, 700 Pine St., Manchester, N. H., on the morning of May 26, after an illness of nearly two years.

He was born at Hooksett, N. H., Feb. 28, 1872, the son of Norris C. and Ann H. (Mitchell) Gault. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Casque and Gauntlet.

Mr. Gault taught as principal in Manchester schools for forty-eight years, declining to go on to the superintendent's position because he loved his work and associations as guide and teacher.

He was married August 27, 1902, to Sallie Head of Hooksett, who died October 30, 1937. They left no children. A brother, Matt Gault, Dartmouth 'go, who died some years ago, had been prominent in the Engineering and Administration Department of the city of Worcester, Mass.

Manchester newspapers said editorially: "The good that John Gault accomplished during his long service in the Manchester schools lives on. And will live.

"Both as a citizen and a teacher he was more than admired. He also was beloved. His passing after a long illness removes one of the state education system's most respected figures."

Funeral services were held in the First Congregational Church of Manchester. Burial was in Head Cemetery, Hooksett, N. H. Survivors are two nieces, Mrs. L. J. Spangler of Bound Brook, N. J., and Miss Helen Gault, now in India.

He was liked by all during his college days and at his recent funeral a token of the same universal feeling of affection was reflected at Manchester where pupils and teachers were dismissed from school to attend the services.

1898

HEDLEY PHILIP PATEY, Secretary of the Class of 1898 since 1928, died Saturday, June 2, 1945. A day or two prior to his death he and Mrs. Patey had driven to Newton from South Royalton, Vt., where they had been visiting their daughter. Had he lived they would have gone by auto to their summer home at East Brewster on Cape Cod on June 2. He died in his sleep of a heart difficulty, and was buried in the Newton Cemetery, with services in its chapel. Classmates Chandler, Crowley, Pope, Snow, and Spring attended the services. Other Dartmouth men, many Newton friends, and a group of his former Ginn & Company associates also attended.

"Pate" was born in Mifflin, Wis., December 15, 1874, the son of Arthur and Phillippa (Charles) Patey, one of nine children, and prepared for college at St. Johnsbury Academy. He was married October 12, 1904, to Harriette Martha Lane at Keene, N. H., who survives him. There are five children: Harriette W. (Mrs. Hilton W. Long), a landscape architect of Dover; Phillippa C. (Mrs. Douglas M. Burckett) of Cambridge, Mass.; Richard L„ associated with the Corning Glass Works of Corning, N. Y.: Dr. Robert T. (Dartmouth 1941), Ist Lieut, in Army Medical Corps, now of St. Paul, Minn.; and Barbara P. (Mrs. Eban B. Brown) of South Royalton, Vt. There are also four brothers and three sisters, all living in the Middle and Far West.

He prepared for college at St. Johnsbury Academy and has served as a trustee of this school. At Dartmouth he was pitcher on the varsity baseball team, 1895-8, was a varsity football halfback, 1894, was captain of the '98 baseball team, was a Smith-Rollins prize speaker, and managed the Dartmouth LiteraryMonthly. He was active in Y. M. C. A. work, and a partner in the College Book Store. He belonged to Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

After attending Hartford Theological Seminary one year he joined the force of Ginn & Company, text-book publishers, with whom he was associated for approximately 40 years. Most New England school men knew him well. He did some lecturing, and his most popular talk, "Baseball and Life," was delivered many times throughout New England.

Patey lived for 37 years in Newtonville in the house formerly owned by another distinguished Dartmouth man, E. K. Hall. There he was very active in the work of Central Congregational church, and belonged to a number of Boston and Newton clubs, including the University and City Clubs of Boston. Always a lover of outdoor life, he was an active member of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

At the funeral service Phil was correctly characterized as a bundle of energy, as a lover of life and of his fellow men, as one who breezed his way through life, always with a smile, and as one who was always trying to help someone else.

Because his work involved wide and constant travel, he was able to contact many '98 men frequently. They are going to miss his cheery calls. Dartmouth has lost one of her most loyal alumni.

1899

DR. MILLARD FREEMAN SEWALL died at his home in Bridgeton, N. J., June 5, after being in failing health for two years. He was born in York Village, Maine, September 28, 1877, the son of Millard Sewall. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

"He made friends by being one, in the fullest sense of the word. Diligent application of his knowledge of medicine and surgery gained for him a host of patients among every class and from every walk of life. Rich and poor, without regard to race or color, all received the same painstaking effort and attention."

Dr. Sewall was an ever interested and enthusiastic participant in the activities of his class, a faithful attendant at its reunions and annual roundups. He was married June 30, 1896 to Helen S.
