WILLIAM FRED CARTER, last surviving member of the Class of 1883 and fourth oldest living graduate, died at Suburban Hospital, Bethesda, Md., on March 11 after a brief illness.
Born in Concord, N. H., August 30, iB6O, he entered the Chandler Scientific Department at Dartmouth in 1879, graduating in 1883. For a short time after graduation he worked as a surveyor in New Hampshire and then operated a private school in Charlotte, N. C.
In iBg2 Mr. Carter went to Washington tobecome a tariff examiner for the Treasury De partment, later transferring to the General Accounting Office, from which he retired about 20 years ago.
Long active in the First Presbyterian Church, he served the church as treasurer, financial secretary and elder. With his brilliant mind clear up to the time of his death, Mr. Carter enjoyed baseball on television, reading, solving tough mathematical problems, and most of all enjoyed reminiscing about his undergraduate days at Dartmouth and the reunions he had attended.
Mrs. Carter, the former Julia Roberts, died in 1944. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Marion C. Saul, with whom he made his home at 5 Waverly Ave., Garrett Park, Md.; Mrs. Mabel Bisset of Kensington, Md.; and Mrs. Mildred C. Davidson of Macon, Ga.
1894
JOHN HENRY BARTLETT was born in Sunapee, N. H„ March 15, 1869, and "Sunapee" was doubtless the nickname by which he was most frequently called. The esteem in which he held his birthplace is shown by the gifts he made the town and a book which he wrote about it. His mother lived to be 96 years old and her soil went there frequently to see her. After graduating from Colby Academy John came to Hanover in the fall of 1890 and it soon became clear that he would be prominent as a speaker and as a public servant. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi and Casque and Gauntlet.
He became a teacher in Portsmouth, N. H.. first as principal of a grammar school and then in the high school. Meanwhile, he was studying law and in 1898 was admitted to the bar. At once he became a member of the firm of Page and Bartlett, Calvin Page being one of the leading lawyers of the state. In 1900 he married Agnes, a daughter of Judge Page.
Not content with his substantial law practice he also became postmaster in Portsmouth which position he held for nine years. His various activities, including service in the N. H. House of Representatives, brought him into such prominence that in 1918 he became governor of New Hampshire.
The one act as governor in which he took neatest satisfaction was in bringing about the passage of an education bill which compelled [he state to furnish aid toward the education of children in the smaller communities of the state.
After he retired from the governorship, which he considered his "choicest and most highly prized honor," he wrote his classmates that probably he was through with politics. However, he was called to Washington by President Harding (for whose election he had campaigned) to be chairman of the U. S. Civil Service Commission. After a brief service in this position he was transferred to the Post office Department where he became First Assistant Postmaster General and served for eight years. In the Hoover administration he was appointed chairman of the U. S. section of the Joint International Commission for the U. S. and Canada and there he continued for ten years.
Meanwhile he was not neglecting Ports- mouth, where he served as president o£ the Portsmouth Trust and Guarantee Cos. for twenty years. He was also thirty years presi- dent of the N. H. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In addition he served as president of the Granite State Fire Insurance Cos. in Portsmouth and the, Maine and N. H. Theatres, Inc.
Fraternally he was a member of St. Andrew's Lodge F. 8c A. M. in Portsmouth and two years ago received a 50-year Grand Lodge medal. He also had Masonic membership in Washington and Concord.
He received the honorary degrees of Master of Arts from Dartmouth in 1920 and Doctor of Laws from the University of N. H. in 1921.
John worked hard in the positions he held as a public servant. One gathers from his letters that this was particularly true in the Post Office Department where apparently he had actual charge of the department for a considerable period of time. But he was never too busy to see a '94 man who came to Washington. During the Coolidge administration it was a special delight to take his classmates to the White House and present them to the President. Here and there he had opportunities to give his classmates a lift and apparently he did not fail. As the years went on his letters revealed an increasing affection for those with whom he had spent four years at Col.
Mrs. Bartlett died in 1944. He is survived by his son, Calvin Page Bartlett, a successful Boston lawyer and by two grandchildren, John H. Bartlett 11, who is serving in Korea and Faith Bartlett.
Funeral services were held at the Bartlett home in Portsmouth, conducted by the pastor of the North Congregational Church assisted by the class secretary. Dwight Hall also represented the class and his good taste selected the flowers which had their place on the casket.

From 1920 to 1935 he was president of Karen Theological Seminary in Insein. He returned to the mission field in 1936 going to Toungoo. Because of war conditions he and Mrs. Marshall were evacuated to the States in 1942.
Dr. Marshall was the author of many articles, stories and books.

DONNELLY, 70, and his daughter Rosemary, 27, lost their lives, and Mrs. Mary Donnelly was dangerously injured and hospitalized, on March 24. The Governor declared this the loss o£ a great jurist. Judge Felix Forte, an associate, said in court, "Judge Donnelly will be remembered for his fairness and learning. He was always a gentleman."
Born in Clinton, Mass., cousin of the late Senator David I. Walsh, one of seven children of a machinist, James C. Donnelly grew up and practiced law in Worcester. An athlete in Worcester High School, he was also a varsity football player throughout his career at Dartmouth. Of even and friendly disposition he was well liked. Graduating in 1905 he entered Harvard Law School, graduated there and passed the Massachusetts Bar in 1908.
During this period he kept up his interest in football. He coached at his high school, also Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Miami (Ohio) University, and a school in Birmingham, Ala., and also coached the Worcester Rowing Club. He served the Dartmouth football coaching staff as scout for several seasons.
Donnelly practiced law for a year in Birmingham, Ala., but decided to return to his home city permanently. There he practiced two years with Thayer, Drury and WalkerJudge Thayer being the famed judge who presided at the Sacco Vanzetti trial. Then followed 20 years with his brother-in-law as Campbell & Donnelly. In this period he acted as master in many hearings. He also served as president of the Worcester County Bar Association and the Worcester County Dartmouth Club.
In 1931, to his own surprise, Attorney Donnelly was appointed an Associate Justice of the Superior Court by Governor Ely. In his 20 years on the bench Judge Donnelly won high distinction for his fairness, his common sense, and his ability to discern complex issues quickly. He presided over a number of prominent trials. At the time of his death he was Chairman of the Rules Committee of the Superior Court. He was a member of the American Bar Association.
Judge Donnelly was a trustee of the Worces- ter Mechanics Bank, member of the Worces- ter University Club, Worcester Country Club, Worcester Economic Club, Worcester Cham- ber of Commerce, and the Knights of Colum- bus, and the University Club of Boston and Boston Dartmouth Club. Fond of golf and winner of several championships, he was president of the Bench & Bar Golfing Association of Massachusetts.
Always interested in and participating in Dartmouth activities he served 10 years on the executive committee of his class, and was trustee of the 1905 Class Fund.
Fifteen years after graduating from Dartmouth, Attorney Donnelly married Mary O'Reilly of Worcester, who at this writing is still in a Virginia hospital recovering from the accident. They had three children, James C. Donnelly Jr. '44, a Boston attorney who is just now locating in Worcester to practice, Elizabeth Ann, now Mrs. Charles Morin, of Washington, and Rosemary, both Smith graduates. There are three grandchildren. Judge Donnelly is survived also by his sisters Mrs. Edward Crowley and Mrs. Mary Campbell of Worcester, and three brothers, Joseph, John, and Charles.
The esteem in which Judge Donnelly was held received remarkable demonstration at the double funeral in Worcester at the Blessed Sacrament Church. It was a state-wide occa- sion, gathering many prominent citizens. Among those present were the Lieutenant Governor of the State, two Congressmen, the Mayor of Worcester and four city councillors, three judges of the Supreme Judicial Court (Chief Justice Qua, Dartmouth, 'Ol, being ill), 31 Superior Court Justices, two U. S. District Court Judges, five delegates from the Massachusetts Bar Association, the president of the Worcester County Bar Association and several hundred lawyers, the County Court staff, the Grand Knight and a delegation from the Knights of Columbus, a number from the Dartmouth Club of Worcester, Jess Gage, fellow player with Donnelly on the Dartmouth football team, and two of his 'O5 classmates.

Henry was born at Danvers, Mass., on December 2, 1882. He spent parts of three years at Dartmouth between the fall of 1901 and the spring of 1904, ill health and the necessity for gainful employment making it impossible for him to graduate with his class.

1934
HARRY INGRAM died unexpectedly of an edema of the lungs on March 17 as a result of over-exertion in helping to extinguish a small brush fire on the grounds of his home at East Rocks Road, Norwalk, Conn.
Efforts by the Fire Department to revive him by artificial respiration, and with an inhalator rushed to the scene by police car, were unavailing.
Harry was born in Milwaukee, Wis., September 27, 1911. He entered Dartmouth from Norwalk, Conn., High School where he had been active in basketball, track, debating, and dramatics.
At Hanover, he was an enthusiastic member of The Players, playing in "The Critic" and "Amaco" as well as directing in the Experimental Theatre. Harry's fraternity was Phi Kappa Sigma.
A successful writer and director of radio and television programs, he had worked on the staffs of Young & Rubicam, and of Foote, Cone and Belding, before he began free-lancing. In 1949 he and his wife formed the youngest husband-wife producing team in radio with "The Tales of Fatima" starring Basil Rathbone.
Other programs with which he had been associated were "Mama" and "Tales of Tomorrow" on television, and in radio, "The Shadow," "Kate Smith Sings," "The Big Story," "The Guy Lombardo Show" and "Two on a Clue."
Harry was co-author with Michael Kanin of a play, We the Willoughbys, which was tried out for John Golden at Stockbridge, Mass., during the 1938 .summer stock season.
Harry married Gail Austrian of New York City in 1947. Surviving, besides his wife, are his two-year-old son Harry, his mother, Mrs. Harry Ingram, and his sister, Margery, both of 76 Bank Street, New York City.
In deference to Harry's convictions, there was no funeral service and cremation was
private. Harry so enjoyed his work and the people he worked with that news of his sudden death came as a profound shock to the hundreds of actors and others in radio and television who had known him and respected him and loved him. Members of his class join them in offering their sympathies to his family.
