1877

William Ripley Tillotson, last surviving member of the Class of 1877 and oldest living graduate of Dartmouth, died on March 9 in Barnesville, Minn.

Mr. Tillotson was born in Bath, N. H., April 22, 1856. When he was seven the family moved to Hanover and lived on what became known as the Tillotson Farm, the house on the corner of North Balch and Wheelock St. now owned by Professor Sherrard. He attended Hanover schools and after his graduation in 1877 he read law with Frederick Chase '60, treasurer of the College, and was admitted to the New Hampshire bar in 1880.

Joining the "Go West Young Man" movement Mr. Tillotson went to Moorhead, Minn., in 1881 and began the practice of law. He remained in Moorhead the rest of his life and took an active part in community affairs. He was elected mayor in 1891 and again in 1901. He served for many years on the Board of Education and the library board, and was a member of the committee which developed the city charter. In 1911 he was one of a group which organized the National Loan and Improvement Co. and he continued his connection with it until last year when he retired at the age of 96.

On April 19, 1888, Mr. Tillotson was married to Harriet Chase Tanner, who died in 1942. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Julian Aamodt of Barnesville, with whom he had made his home in recent months and a son, Dr. Bradley Tillotson of Chicago.

1886

WILLIAM POWERS KELLY was struck by a car in St. Petersburg, Fla., on the evening of March 24 and died of his injuries on March 27. Biff, as he was known in college, was born in Troy, Ohio, December 30, 1865. His grandparents were pioneer settlers of Ohio and were descendants of some of the earliest New England families. His paternal ancestor, David O'Kelly, was an "admitted inhabitant" of Barnstable, Mass., in 1654.

Biff was art editor of the '86 Aegis, sang in the '86 Glee Club and Quartette, was commissary of the Swett Club, and during senior year was the purveyor of coal to the student body, since neither the dormitories nor the other lodgings then had central heating. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

After graduation he served short terms as class agent, secretary and treasurer, and was a faithful attendant at class reunion and other college events. Dartmouth gave him a Masters degree, and the Rutgers chapter of Phi Beta Kappa made him an honorary member.

He began teaching as principal of Coe's Northwood (N. H.) Academy immediately after graduation and retired 48 years later from Rutgers University after serving 23 years as headmaster of the preparatory school. During the intervening years he taught in Worcester Academy, the South Hadley, Mass., High School and was superintendent of schools in Hudson and Attleboro, Mass., and in Meriden, Conn.

He belonged to many educational organizations, local, state and national, and was president of several. "Who's Who in America" listed him as an educator. His publications were confined to school documents and historical and genealogical pamphlets.

Since 1934 he had been a resident of St. Petersburg, Fla., though still going to his summer place in Greensboro, Vt., every summer since 1909.

On July 9, 1896, he married Lillian M. Lee who died in October 1952. Surviving are his two sons, David (Rutgers '20, Harvard Law '26) of Madison, N. J., and Dr. William P. Jr. (Dartmouth '23, Columbia Medical '26) of Carmel, N. Y, and seven grandchildren.

1894

On March 25, Frank A. Balch died at his home, 101 S. Winooski Ave., Burlington, Vt., just a month before his 83rd birthday. His place of birth was Richmond, Vt.

In college Frank was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon (together with four other St. Johnsbury Academy men in the '94 delegation) and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank. He spent a year in post-graduate work at Dartmouth during 1894-95.

In 1895 he joined the faculty of Norwich University as an instructor, being made a professor the next year. He was given a degree of M.A. from Norwich in 1900.

He gave up his position at Norwich in May 1900. His father had a farm on the Winooski River in one of the best farming sections of Vermont. Frank went there and stayed for 36 years, partly because he felt his parents needed him and partly because he enjoyed it there.

In 1936 he moved to Burlington where for a time he was employed in the Fleming Museum. For years he kept a small flower garden in the rear of the Public Library and supplied it with flowers in season. He was a valued member of the Burlington Writers' Club. Through such contacts as these he came to be respected and loved by all who knew him during his 17 years in Burlington.

He was an ardent '94 fan. In a letter written in 1938 he said: "How good and genuine '94 friendships are has been proved to Mrs. Balch and me these last years."

Frank was married October 2, 1912, at Glen Sutton, Quebec, to Ada Marion Brock who survives him. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Mabel Sturdevant of Sierra Madre. Calif.

Frank had been bedridden for three months when he died in his sleep of a coronary occlusion. The Class of '94 was represented at the funeral by Arthur and Ann Stone and by a spray of flowers which lay on the casket. The body was cremated and the ashes interred at the family lot in Richmond.

Harrie was born in Portsmouth, N. H„ on April 2, 1884. After graduating with our class he took his C.E. degree at Thayer School and then began a long and distinguished career as an engineer. His work took him from coast to coast, building dry docks, pile driving, putting up the buildings for the San Francisco exposition, building dams and sewage disposal plants.

From 1935 to 1949 Harrie was associated with Turner Construction Cos. During the war he built naval air bases at Midway, Wake, Guam and Hawaii and spent two years with the ship building department of Alabama DryDocks and Ship Building Co. at Mobile. He retired in 1950.

For some years Harrie had maintained a home in Ho-Ho-Kus, N. J., but in 1951 sold this and built a home at Plantation Estates, DeBary, Fla. Here he took an active part in community affairs as president of the Volunteer Firemen's Association and member of the Property Owners Association.

1909

Harold Hale Murchie, Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Court, died at his home in Calais, Maine, of a heart attack on March 7.

He was born on March 8, 1888, at Calais, Maine, the son of George Albert and Cora Hannah (Harmon) Murchie. Calais High School prepared him for Dartmouth. Upon graduation, he entered Harvard Law School and received his LL.B. degree in 1912. He received honorary LL.D.s from Boston University in 1942, University of Maine, 1952, and Dartmouth, 1950.

Murch was active in the political life of Washington County and the State of Maine, serving in both branches of the Maine Legislature, as his father had done before him and becoming president of the Senate in 1933. His opinion carried great weight with the' leaders of the Republican party in Maine and laws on the statute books sponsored by him give lasting testimony to his wisdom and integrity.

His legal life was concerned with corpora- tion law in the field of public utilities and serving the state as Assistant Attorney General from 1913-1924, Washington County Prosecutor 1925-1927, Supreme Judicial Court 1940-1953. being Chief Justice of the latter from 1949 and the first person to hold that office from Washington County. He was a former president of the Maine Bar Association.

Harold also found time for fraternal life and was a Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Maine.

Governor Cross in speaking of the loss to the State of Maine in his death paid Murchie the following tribute: "He was a man of great human understanding and tremendous ability. His contribution to his state and its people was an unselfish example of public service."

As another regular of the Class of 1909 has had that Golden Curtain drawn aside for his entrance into that undiscovered country may those of us remaining on this side extend to the widow and daughters our sympathy in our mutual loss and henceforth resolve to be a little closer to one another.

1920

Classmate Edward Alton Higgins, in retirement after many years with the U.S. Postal Service, passed away at his home 3 Lockland Ave., Framingham, Mass., on February 10. An infection of the heart had compelled him to take things easily for a period of years, but he was in touch with the class and communicated to us much of his happiness and pride in his fine family. A son, Edward Jr., is to be graduated from Duke University in June, and three younger daughters, Natalie, Adele, and Beatrice, are all headed toward professional careers.

Ed Higgins was born in Marysville, New Brunswick, October 18, 1896, the son of Edward and Anne (Murphy) Higgins. He prepared for Dartmouth at Calais (Maine) High School. During World War I he served in the Navy for more than a year; then, after graduation, located in Farmingham, first with the Dennison Company and later with the local post office. In 1922 he married Beatrice DesRosiers, who survives him. The whole Higgins family developed a love for the Down East region that Ed hailed from, spending their summers at a cottage in Calais "on the main road to the Maritime Provinces."

Ed was an active member of James J. McGrath Post, American Legion, and of St. Bridget's Holy Name Society.

ROBERT BRUCE DOW, who died on March 23, was. in the finest sense of the term "a gentleman and a scholar." Greatly admired by his associates and his students, he had made his career of English teaching a distinguished one and had carried on without complaint, despite painful accidents and illnesses in recent years.

Bob was the son of Arthur Walter and Anna (Carr) Dow. One of the youngest men in the class (he died before his 54th birthday), he came to Dartmouth from Henniker (N. H.) High School. At Hanover he was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa and won the honors in English which prepared him for his work of college teaching. Except for two years (1920-22) as instructor in English at Lafayette, his entire career was devoted to New York University, where he was associate professor of English and assistant director of admissions at the time of his death. Each year the Washington Square College's Class of 1938 honors him for his active interest in student affairs by presenting the Robert B. Dow medal "to a man in the graduating class who has given four years of devoted service to the College."

Along the way Bob picked up Master's and Doctor's degrees from Harvard, in 1923 and 1931 respectively. He specialized in the Elizabethan and Victorian periods of English literature and was the author of several textbooks for college classes.

Writing from overseas an account of him self for our 25 th Report, Bob said, "The autumn of 1942 found me, to my complete amazement, a private in the Army of the United States. Being unmarried I was just what a starving draft board was looking for. I became an atom in the somewhat fantastic Air Forces setup at Miami Beach, got into the 0.C.5., emerged a 90-day wonder with a second lieutenant's commission, went on to Intelligence School, and so directly overseas." The conclusion to that story was a major's commission before the war was over.

Bob was a member of Delta Upsilon, Alpha Phi Omega, the Modern Language Association, the Harvard Club and the American Legion. Phil Gross, Bob's four-year roommate in Hanover, represented the Class at the funeral services in New York.

1921

Robert Rehberg Martin, retired investment banker and prominent Long Island Sound yachtsman, died in Greenwich (Conn.) Hospital on March 21.

Bob was born in Brooklyn, August 1, 1898, the son of Robert W. and Marie (Von Rehberg) Martin. He entered Dartmouth in 1917 from Pawling School where he had been active in football, track, and debating. The latter part of freshman year he enlisted as a U.S. Naval Aviation Cadet but the war ended before he could obtain a commission and he returned to Dartmouth where his principal extra-curricular activity was the Cercle Francais.

After some bond-selling experience with Shields and Co., and Tucker, Anthony and Co., he was associated with the Chicago office of Dillon, Read and Co., the investment banking firm of 48 Wall St., N. Y., until his retirement a few years ago.

During the Twenties Bob won many races at the New York and Atlantic Yacht Clubs with his Blue Moon and Alerte and gained permanent possession of a Sir Thomas Lipton trophy. In 1924 he skippered the Sari, a friend's yacht, to victory in the Mackinac Island race on the Great Lakes.

Howard Lloyd Flewelling died suddenly on March 29 in Hartford, Conn., of a coronary thrombosis. While driving from Delaware to spend Easter with his sister, Mrs. Albert Ben- bow, in Needham, Mass., he felt ill, stopped in Hartford for the night, and died in his sleep.

Flew was born in Needham on January 12, 1898, the son of Howard A. and Beatrice H. (Smith) Flewelling. As a member of the 1916 class at Needham High School, he was editor of the school paper and valedictorian at graduation. He worked for a year before coming to Dartmouth in 1917.

His scholastic and literary ability soon earned recognition as evidenced by his inclusion in the Third Honor Group his first two years and later on the literary staff of both the Jack O'Lantem and Bema, where he was an associate of Bill Cunningham, George Frost, Franklin McDuffee, and Cliff Orr. As a sophomore he joined Comos Club but later became a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and lived at the house senior year.

After graduation he taught at and received his M.A. degree in 1925 from University of Maine. A Ph.D. degree followed in 1931 from University of Michigan. Thence he returned to Maine to become assistant professor of English in 1933 and then a full professor.

On August 16, 1935, Flew married Lynette Walker of Orono, Maine, at Norridgewock. Their two daughters Deborah and Judith were born on May 2, 1937, and May 23, 1941, respectively.

Since graduation Sam had been moving about the country to a considerable degree before going to Mexico, and many of us saw him from time to time before his trip South.

He leaves his mother, Mrs. Sallie Hill King, as his only survivor. Her home is at 108 Washington Ave., Morristown, N. J.
