1895

Having recently returned from Winter Park, Florida, I am able to give first-hand information about two of our classmates.

Frank A ustin seems to be in good health and in good spirits. For his diversion he has trained a pet hen to come a-running to him when he whistles, as one would whistle for a dog. When the hen has arrived at her master's feet he holds up a piece of bread and the hen flops and jumps up and takes it out of his hand. This is repeated until the hen is full of bread. Austin has many interesting things in his establishment.

Joel Harley has sufficiently recovered from his illness of last winter to be able to walk about. He and Mrs. Harley and their daughter, Gertrude Lamb, and her husband Francis, were together for a few weeks. Joel did not feel able to return to Madison in his automobile so he and Mrs. Harley returned by airplane. Francis and Gertrude Lamb drove Joel's car back to Madison.

On the very evening of my return from Winter Park, X received a telegram from Harriet Cochran giving news of the death of our classmate Harlan. He passed away in the Elliott Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire. Burial services took place at the First Church in East Derry, on Monday, May 3. I attended the exercises. I am sure that Harriet would be pleased to hear from classmates. His obituary will appear in the In Memoriam section of this issue.
