In Memoriam
1888
FRED ALLAN WALKER died March 25, at his home in Hadlyme, Conn., after an illness of only four days. This terminated a sad invalidism of nearly fifteen years duration.
He was bom March 27, 1867 at South Berwick, Maine, the son of James and Marion (Farrington) Walker, but the family soon moved to East Rochester, N. H. In early childhood he was partially deaf, and his education was begun by his mother, a cultured school teacher. His hearing improved as he grew older and he went through the schools and graduated from the Rochester High School in 1884, and entered Dartmouth College that fall with the Class of '88.
Walker was always a good student and in college showed marked ability in literature and English, which he developed into a foundation for his life work. He was a member of the Psi Upsilon and Sphinx.
Following graduation there was an era of developing towns in the South, and Walker tried banking at the founding of Cardiff, Tenn., but soon returned to East Rochester to assist his father in the grocery business. He was elected to the Rochester School Board in 1889, and began his first newspaper work on the Rochester Courier, founding a chatty column called "Roundabout" that was continued as a popular feature of the paper for over forty years.
At this time a political paper was started in Nashua, and Walker got employment on it at no salary, beginning his real newspaper career. This paper soon died, but his worth had become recognized and he transferred to Springfield, Mass. to cover Hampden County for the Boston Herald. Graduating from this work he went to the Springfield Union, where, beginning as a reporter he went through all the departments of publishing a daily newspaper, and became its Managing Editor in 1893.
In 1896 he came to Boston to work on the Boston Journal, at that time owned by Stephen O'Meara. When Frank A. Munsey bought the Journal of Mr. O'Meara and reorganized the staff, Walker was retained as Business Manager, and this was the beginning of the many years o£ his association with Mr. Munsey. In all he was in Boston thirteen years, until in 1909 he transferred to the Baltimore News, another Munsey paper. He remained in Baltimore only two years, then going with the Washington Times, where he was made Editor and Manager during World War One.
In 1919 he became an editorial writer and associate of Arthur Brisbane on the Hearst papers, but in 1920 when Munsey bought the New York Herald, Walker declined an offer to head the Herald's Paris Edition, and became Editor of the New York Telegram, which was included in the Herald sale. He remained as Publisher four years, then becoming its Managing Director. In 1926 he was advanced to be an Executive Officer of the New York Sun, with which he was associated until his illness obliged him to retire in 1932.
Stricken at the height of his success by a cerebral hemorrhage, he ended his business era of forty years arduous work. Then came fifteen years of invalidism, which he suffered without complaint. With his wife and sister he lived at the Hotel Mohican in New London, Conn, until their death. In 1943 he bought a large estate in Hadlyme, Conn, where he lived with a nurse and caretakers.
Walker served as Chairman of the Publishers Association of New York City from 1923 to 1933. Several years after his retirement a resolution signed by representatives of nineteen principal newspapers in Greater New York was forwarded to him reading—"We miss your wise counsel, based on your good judgment and your years of experience. We miss the constant attention to detail and we miss, most of all, the warmth of your personality and the wide range of interests which made our contacts with you stimulating."
Walker was an authority on labor problems as they specifically affected the newspaper industry. He participated in many arbitration proceedings between unions and publishers.
Always loyal to his home town, Walker gave windows to the East Rochester Methodist Church in memory of his parents. He established prizes in the Rochester High School, and the Walker Fund for deserving Rochester High School students going to Dartmouth was set up several years ago. He had been a member of the Rochester Masonic Lodge since 1890.
November 19, 1901, Walker was married to Abbie Phillips of East Rochester, who died January 11, 1943.
Walker was a Scientist and funeral services were held at Wakefield, R. 1., Friday, March 28, ivith Maurice E. Sherman of New London officiating. He was buried with his wife in the family cemetery in Exeter, R. I.
1899
HERBERT WOOD RICE died February 19 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Marion Rice Newdorf, 98 Mountfort Street, Boston. His wife also was with him. He had been stricken with coronary thrombosis six weeks previous in Henniker, N. H., where he always lived. After three weeks in the Margaret Pillsbury Hospital in Concord he was removed to Boston. Funeral services were held at noon on February 22 at the parish house of the Congregational Church in Henniker, where Herbert had long been a member; they were conducted by Reverend Robert Lewis. Interment will be in the Henniker family lot in the spring.
Herbert Rice was born on September 22, 1874, in Henniker, the son of Moses and Ellen (Wood) Rice on the farm which was in the Rice family for four generations since 1768. This farm with its comfortable buildings, its 180 acres and its water supply sufficient for half a dozen farms, had been his home until sold five years ago.
He was a member of the first class to be graduated from the Henniker Academy in 1893. He entered Dartmouth in the class of 1899. He was a member of the class football team in his sophomore year. He had to leave college early in his junior year because of a chronic and increasing deafness which continued to handicap him throughout his life, but his interest in his class and college grew with the years. He was a frequent visitor in Hanover, occasionally appearing at one of his five-year class reunions. He not infrequently saw classmates also on his visits to Concord and Manchester, and his eyes (as good as his hearing was poor) would always spot a familiar face.
He was married to Florence Anna Reynolds of South Bolton, Quebec, June 19, 1905. The couple had one daughter, Marion Sarah, now Mrs. Newdorf. She and his wife survive him.
Herbert Rice was a man of simple tastes. In the class reports he was uniformly listed as a farmer. From time to time he did some lumbering. For the past five years after selling his place he worked in a local mill but essentially during his entire life he was a typical New England farmer. Henniker claims fame as the only known place bearing that name; and Herbert is perhaps the one man in Ninety-Nine to have been so consistently identified with one spot from birth to practically the time of his death. He asked nothing but to live in the peace of his familiar countryside, and to work season to season from morning to night with his buildings, his crops, and his animals.
The following paragraph from a letter some years ago is revealing:
"It has been a busy winter and I have been doing my work alone until about three weeks ago when I hired a boy to help me. As I had twenty cows and heifers, some hens and two horses, and was milking nine cows and delivering the milk from five farms besides my own at the station at six A.M., I haven't had much time for writing letters. I send you two snapshots, one of ray horses and one of the north end of my house."
The last sentence is characteristic. A picture of himself seemed unimportant, but he was happy to share the pictures of his home or his animals.
Herbert Rice, it is true, could not remain in Hanover long enough to graduate, but he was as loyally a lifelong lover of Dartmouth as the college has ever had.
1907
IVAN ANDERSON GREENWOOD died in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, on March 9 from a heart attack.
Ivan was born in Columbus, Ohio, August so, 1883, the son of John Henry and Christine (Anderson) Greenwood. In college Ivan was a member of Alpha Delta Phi, and '07 men remember him as a sturdy footfall player.
After graduation he spent five years in engineering work as Road Engineer in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. For the next twenty-five years he was engaged in the real estate business with his brother. He then established a business service of his own. During World War II Ivan served with the War Production Board and the War Assets Administration.
January 3, 1920, Ivan was married to Mabel Harlow, who survives him with their two sons, Ivan A. Jr. and Harlow G. His brother Walter P. Greenwood, Dartmouth '11 also survives.
1909
IRA NELSON KILBURN died at his home, 67 Burton Street, Springfield, Mass. on February 3, 1947 of a cerebral hemorrhage. He had had an attack at his home on January 7 but recovered from this, and was assured .his heart was in excellent condition but suffered a second attack on February a and died almost instantly.
He was born in Hoi yoke August i, 1885, the son of Frederick A. and Edith (Godso) Kilburn, and prepared for college at Holyoke High School. Ira entered with the class of '09 but transferred in his second year to Medical School and received his degree from there with the class of 1911. He went into practice in Holyoke and then to Springfield as a specialist in venereal disease and later entered the field of urology. He was a memter of the staff of the Wesson Memorial and Springfield Hospitals and a member of the Springfield Academy of Medicine, the Hampden County and Massachusetts Medical Societies and the American Medical Association.
Doc gained a fine name for himself in his profession with his genial disposition and thoughtfulness. He was most popular with everyone he came in contact with. The esteem in which he was held by his associates is well exemplified by the following resolution:
RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF DR. IRA NELSON KILBURN—"In recognition of the long and untiring services of Dr. Ira Nelson Kilburn in the department of surgery the Wesson Memorial Hospital Staff wishes to express its feeling of personal loss in the death of Dr. Kilburn and its appreciation of his services as a member of our organization.
Dr. Kilburn served our hospital for more than twenty years, first as an assistant in genito-urinary surgery, then as a senior surgeon and at the time of his death he was chief of genito-urinary service.
Dr. Kilburn was always ready, cooperative and helpful as a member of the Medical Staff. The strain and demands of the war years singled out the men who were truly interested in our hospital. Dr. Kilburn managed his service alone during those trying years and gave untiringly of his time and energy.
Dr. Kilburn had a friendly personality and a rare gift of humorous expression which made him a welcome figure among his fellows. By his death the hospital has lost a friend and beloved associate."
He is survived by his wife the former Mabel Nygren whom he married on November is, 1930, two sons, Nelson and Donald, and one daughter, Karen.
FREDERICK BYRON PLUMMER died of a heart attack on February 17, 1947 in Austin, Texas. He was a research geologist and professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas. He was returning from a weekend field trip in the Llano area and had a flat tire just outside of San Marcos. It is believed the exertion involved in changing the tire was the cause of his death.
He was born in Etna, N. H. on August 31, 1886, the son of Alvah A. and Laura E. (Merrill) Plummer and prepared for college at the Hanover High School. He completed his undergraduate work at Dartmouth College and received his master's degree from Chicago University in 1911. For the next seventeen years he worked with some of the state's leading oil concerns.
Ted was a pioneer in the borderline field between geology and petroleum engineering, and was greatly beloved by his students and colleagues because of his boundless enthusiasm for research. His record in geology, paleontology, and petroleum engineering is one seldom equalled.
In the opinion of George Fancher, one of Plummer's fellow-professors in petroleum engineering, the most inspiring characteristic of Ted Plummer was his numerous accomplishments and prolific writing in a wide variety of fields. Many times a line of research born in the mind of Plummer was developed by someone else into a major discovery. His greatest satisfaction came from starting others on roads of research later to culminate in lasting benefits to humanity and science.
Ted Piummer was an exacting teacher and yet every year formed close relationships with a few students leading to an undying spirit of mutual admiration. He kept a map of the United States in his office and painstakingly marked the location of each one of his students with a tiny flag. He has been known to expend every possible effort to help his students in and out of class.
Ted headed the Texas Academy of Science during 1946 and was a past president of Sigma Xi, scientific research society. He was responsible for the establishment of a Department of Petroleum Engineering at the University and was its first chairman.
Author of innumerable papers dealing with geological research, he had been widely recognized for his outstanding work in connection with the recovery of salt water in oil wells. He also was well known for his work in determining the geological formations of North Central Texas and a "downward withdrawal" process which increased the output of marginal oil wells. At one time, he was chief geologist for the Texas division of Amerada Oil Corporation and had been connected with Shell Petroleum Company. He went to the University of Texas in 1928 and had worked with the Department of Petroleum Engineering and the Bureau of Economic Geology ever since, except for brief periods of leave, granted so that he could make special lecture tours in northern and eastern United States.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Helen Skewes Plummer, whom he married in 1918 and a sister, Mrs. Edith Plummer Rock of Springfield, Mass. Mrs. Plummer is a geologist of some repute and author of many articles on paleontology published by the University.
