1886

The secretary and his wife spent most of October in the pleasant village of Tryon, North Carolina. This is a resort in the socalled Thermal Belt at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains a little south of Asheville. The hotels are few and small, but the village and countryside is filled with homes and estates of people mostly from the northern states, some of whom now, as in the past, are quite celebrated.

The plans of the Newtons for the winter in Springfield, Mass., are already developing. Mrs. Newton wrote and coached a play for Education Week in the public schools, and Billie keeps abreast of events in the Rotary there. Their address is 151 Maple St.

Word from Miss Joy Rose is that Sam, her father, is as comfortable as usual. He has been seriously incapacitated ever since our 50th reunion, which he attended.

Granville Howard sold his hotel in Bartlett, N. H., last spring, and in the fall sold his general store, which has an extensive trade in the White Mountain resort section. He is now living in his newly purchased home back of the hotel with his former manager and wife to run it for him. His nephew, Elmer's son, Newton Howard, lives in Bartlett with his wife and three children, and is an aid and comfort to Granville in his retirement. Granville's rise from humble beginnings in the village of Hanover to a position of affluence and influence in the White Mountain area is typical of the advantages bestowed by the "little college that we love" on the country boys who shared her advantages during the Eighties.
