1898

William W. Forbes died at Manchester, N. H., on August 31, 1946. He was with the class during 1894-95 has always been a loyal member ofthe class. Only a couple of weeks before his death he had sent in his class dues. He had practised law in Manchester for 52 years. An obituary notice will appear in the MAGAZINE.

Florence Marcy died at Rindge, N. H., on August 22, 1946, from pneumonia following a fall down stairs. Mrs. Marcy had had a sufficient recovery from a very severe hip injury, the result of a fall while in Florida a few years ago, so that with the aid of crutches she was able to go about, even going up and down stairs whenever she wished. Her funeral was held at the Central Congregational Church, West Rindge. N. H,, on Saturday, August 24. Dick sends his thanks to all members of the class for their remembrance.

In a note accompanying his check for annual dues John Moulton wrote, "I wonder what the East is like after some 30 years since I saw it last. I read the ads of old farm houses for sale and get a real urge to visit the old home in Laconia. Instead I took a trip last spring to Mexico, found the mine I had managed 18 years ago has wrecked the town we lived in for 9 years,—Rosario, Sinola in Mozathan." John, you should prepare to satisfy that urge and come to the 50-year Reunion in 1948.

Bob Lucey on June 1, 1946, retired as Engineer of the Holyoke Water Works after 50 years of service in the department. His address will now be that of his home, 57 Westfield St., Holyoke, Mass,

Ted and Berthe Liggett spent a month this summer at Pennaquid Pt., Maine, where Ted said they nearly froze to death. On their way home they made a swing through New England and had reunions with Fred Bennis and his sister at Sullivan, Maine, with Fred and Jeanette Lord at Hanover, and with Dick and Florence Marcy at Rindge, N. H.

It is belated news but we can only note it when we receive it. Last year Everett and Mabel Hoyt also did some traveling and attended the wedding of their son W. E. Jr. ('37) at Akron, Ohio. They then visited their daughter Alice in Arlington Heights, 111., where Everett says they enjoyed four of their grandchildren.

Some of the class in sending in their dues sent also a note. Seth Pope wrote that signing "Seth" made him recall that the original Seth Pope came to Sandwich in 1669 with a pack on his back. The town, fathers got after him and asked, "Have you 20 pounds? Do you belong to the church?" Both replies were negative so they kicked him out. He cussed a little and vowed he would return and buy up half the town. He came back in 1699, one of the richest men in Massachusetts Colony (Town of Dartmouth, Mass.), built three large houses for three of his sons and was asked where in Sandwich he planned to live. He said "To hell with your town. You wouldn't have me, now I won't have you." He returned to Dartmouth. We can now see how our Seth came by some of his traits.
