1904
The Manchester Union of December 19 has an excellent picture of Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, commanding general of the Army Air Forces Defense Command, "congratulating Col. Burritt H. Hinman of North Stratford, after awarding him the Legion of Merit at Mitchell Field, N. Y., recently. Now retired, Col. Hinman, who was elected to the New Hampshire legislature in November, was decorated for rendering exceptionally valuable services in the administration of military justice while serving as a staff judge advocate with the AAF's Eastern Flying Training Command from January 1942 to August 1945."
Home from the wars, August, '45, Rosie and Ellen lost no time in returning to North Stratford, N. H., where he first arrived by the birth route on July 3 in the early eighties. His first full day of living, Independence Day, with its fun, firecracker, and firewater background furnished a theme for a scheme of life that has made a cheering contribution to the lives of his friends. Now in a few winter months he will refresh, through legislative work in Concord, his knowledge of New Hampshire people. This man's magazine acknowledges with appreciation and gratitude the great accomplishment of Ellen Drew Hinman, given Fourth of July material and a courageous New Hampshire background for her life work.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Streeter of Morristown, N. J., announced on Dec. 22 the engagement of their daughter, Lilian Carpenter Streeter, to Gerald Brinton Lucas, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Brinton Lucas of "Midstream Farm," Paoli, Pa. Miss Streeter was graduated from the Chapin School, and is now a student at Bryn Mawr College. Mr. Lucas attended Montgomery school and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1937. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society and the Delta Psi Fraternity. He was a lieutenant in the USNR, serving in the North Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The wedding will take place in the spring.

Carl writes that he is anxious to make up the reunions he missed, and is looking forward to the Boston Alumni Dinner, the Five Class party, and hopes that our interrupted annual informal reunions will be started again next June in Hanover.
Matt Bullock was attacked by a dangerous inmate of Bridgewater State Farm during a meeting of the Parole Board, Dec. 19th, just after the board had rejected temporarily a plea for release as a parolee by the attacker. Fortunately Matt's extra-curricularactivities some years ago served him in good stead.
The Philadelphia Record reports the monthly meeting of the Foreign Traders Association of Philadelphia, where Robert B. Moseley chief of the War Assets Administration, Philadelphia Export Division, was guest speaker at the association's panel meeting, January 14th. Moseley said principal items for export demand are machine tools and general equipment and that Latin American countries so far have exceeded European and other nations in the quantity of goods purchased. U. S. Government surplus goods sold to Philadelphia exporters for overseas markets by WAA have totalled approximately $1,500,000 a month, and sales are increasing.
October 14, 1946, the Bob Moseleys moved to new address 7235 Algord St., Philadelphia 35, Pa. Bob writes briefly but cheerfully that he is feeling fine and looking forward to "not less than twenty more years of usefulness."
Time has rolled some anniversaries together for the enjoyment of the Rev. and Mrs. Charles M. Tubbs. It is the fortieth wedding anniversary for them, the thirtieth anniversary of Charlie's ordination to the Episcopal ministry, and he has been the rector of Grace Church in Bath, Maine, for twenty-five years. He has been honored with several diocesan positions in his church and is president of the standing committee, president of the board of examining chaplains, and a member of the Diocesan Council. Mrs. Tubbs has been seriously ill the past year, but is now improved in health. A sad duty Charlie had to perform was assisting in conducting the burial service and committal for Sophia (Wallace), wife of classmate Rev. John H. Nolaa, in Portland. When John was rector of St. Peter's church in Springfield, Mass., Charlie began his ministry by being a curate for him, and in charge of his church school. Charlie had charge of parishes in West Springfield and Easthampton, Mass., before moving to the Pine Tree State.
After a long illness Mrs. Bertha Maguire passed away on December 31. Flowers were sent to the funeral service at the Maguire home, 61 Sumner Road, Brookline, and Jim and Mrs. Walker, Robinson, Kneeland, Bullock, and Lampee represented the class at the Requiem Mass in St. Lawrence's church, Saturday morning, January 4. Many of us who had enjoyed the infrequent privilege of a visit with Mrs. Maguire at reunions realize the close companionship of their life together. The class feeling of understanding sympathy is hard to express in cold type, but the warmth of our friendship for Pete will be evident whenever 1904 men gather in reunion.
Li Holton's courageous fight to continue activity in business despite the loss of his eyesight as the result of trachoma eight years ago ended Sunday, January 5, about midday, by an accidental fall from the window of the 10th floor apartment at 70 E. Walton Street, Chicago, where he and his wife Helen were living. They had spent the previous evening with friends and when Mrs. Holton went to church at 11 A.M., Li was left alone and in good spirits. Upon returning, Mrs. Holton found the window open and Li's cane under a radiator in front of the window. Having found no trace of him in the apartment, Mrs. Holton, about to telephone, was visited by the building engineer, who to.d her that his body had been found on the first floor fire escape. Evidence indicated that the window did not open easily, and that in stooping to regain his cane he had pitched forward through the window. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Of their two sons, Richard G. lives in Racine, Wis., and was able to come to his mother immediately; George D„ after spending three months at home with his father, had left for Alaska on Christmas Day. Li was one of the founders of the Realty Club of Chicago, a realtor for 38 years and for five years a manufacturer's agent for small glass specialties which he invented and patented. He has aided numerous Dartmouth students financially, and his love for the college and his class friendships were a religion. His presence at last July's reunion gave increased pleasure to all who attended.
