1899

As the date of our Annual Roundup-this year the 46th—approaches, make a note of it now, the regular never-failing date, the first Saturday in March, which this year is the second. Among the twenty-seven attendants last year were some new faces. Let's hope to see more this year.

The Sanborns opened their Florida house at Miami last fall. Rodney went down at Christmas time for a month's visit.

Our New Bedford correspondent reports a quiet even life for Mr. and Mrs. Mot Sargeant. Their daughter Miriam who lives in New Bedford has two children, Miriam, three and a half, and Craig, two years old. Daughter Anne was expectantly waiting last month (as are thousands of other wives) for the return from the Burma-India theatre of her husband, Corp. Thomas W. Farnsworth. Howland and Mrs. H. are in Washington.

The secretary is indebted to his Hanover reporter for the following Ninety-nine family news from that village:

Dave Storr's daughter, her husband and their two daughters are now in Hanover. They have purchased a house in Etna.

Louise Musgrove (Mrs. Pickering) is also now in Hanover with her two little girls, living with her mother until her husband in Portsmouth can find a house for them to live in. They had to surrender the house in which they had been living there to the owner who is a returned veteran. Major Frank Musgrove is still with the armed forces in Germany, where he has been for two years. His wife, small son and daughter are living in Lebanon. Mrs. Jordan and her daughter Winnifred continue to live in Hanover. The other daughter, Mrs. Trowbridge, with her young daughters, lives in Wellesley Hills, Mass. The Benezets are now able to see members of their family oftener. Richard Butterfield, husband of daughter Genevieve, is back in Hanover busy at work in his profession of architecture. Roger, also in architecture, is associated with a firm in Carmel, Calif. The secretary, who has been there, envies him the delightful environment. Louis T. is now out of the Navy, where he was with the Seventh Fleet as Educational Service Officer, and at last report was planning, with his wife and year old son, to visit Pere and Mere.

Benny, the old pedagog himself, represented the College as the guest speaker at the annual dinner of the Bridgeport, Conn., Alumni Association in December. He met only one man there who was in College in our time, Bill Ham '97.

Professor Jim Richardson is teaching regularly, and enjoying his favorite diversion at the regular Wednesday evening contract bridge tournament games. Probably a winner in most of them, although our reporter does not say.

Sad news comes again to Ninety-nine in the deaths of Fred (Napoleon) Locke and Harry Wason in December. These are fully reported in the In Memoriam columns of this issue. Notice of Locke's end was received too late to send flowers for the class. A floral offering was sent to Mrs. Wason and gratefully acknowledged by her and son Lloyd.

Secretary, The New York Times 229 West 43rd St., New York 18, N. Y. Treasurer, 18 Stoneland Roadway, Shrewsbury, Mass.
