1898

Doc Nolan and Anna, after spending the summer and fall at the old homestead in Middleboro, Mass., returned to their New York apartment, 308 West 97th Street, early in December.

Mrs. Leggett and her family wish to express their thanks to the members of the Class of '9B for the flowers and many letters of sympathy which they received following Ted's death. Ted had seen his doctor on Friday and had received a good report and the doctor was well pleased with his condition. Saturday evening Ted and Mrs. Leggett and their daughters Marjorie and Marion with their husbands went to the home of Mrs. Leggett's younger brother at Garden City, L. I. Ted looked well, had the time of his life, laughed out loud at the games they were playing and even joined in one of them. At 11:50 P.M. they were starting for home and as Ted was about to enter the car he remarked that he had better go into the house as he had a little palpitation. He went upstairs removed his hat and coat and went into the bathroom where he collapsed. Marjorie found him lying on the floor, dead. At the funeral services the Class was represented by Ike and Gertrude Seelman.

For a number of years the idea that our Class elect alternate officers to take over in case of the death of the president or secretary proved to be an excellent idea. Upon HarryGoodall's death Fritz Robbert became president and on the death of Fritz Joe Bartlett. Upon Phil Patey's death your present secretary took over the duties of secretary. The idea has now worked in reverse. At the Class meeting held at our 50th Reunion Ted Leggett was elected alternate president and SethPope alternate secretary and now both are dead.

By the time these notes are being read JackSpring, our Class Agent, will be engaged in his annual campaign for the Alumni Fund. Much work and worry on his part will be prevented by a speedy response to his letter asking for your contribution.
