1889

HARDY SMITH FERGUSON died suddenly July 6 at his home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. He was born November 3, 1868, in Chelsea, Mass., the son of George Haines and Sarah Knight (Smith) Ferguson. He prepared for college at the high school in Newmarket, N. H., graduated from Dartmouth with the B.S. degree in 1889, and received his C.E. degree from Thayer School in 1891.

The following six years he was associated with D. H. & A. B. Tower, architects, Holyoke, Mass. He then was engaged in practice of his profession in Maine and New Hampshire until 1901, when he became chief engineer for the Great Northern Paper Company at Millinocket, Maine, taking charge of the construction of its paper mills and general hydraulic work. He held this position for ten years. In March 1911 he opened offices at 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City, as consulting engineer. His professional work consisted largely of designing industrial plants, water power and steam power developments, and hydraulic structures in general.

During the years he maintained offices in New York City he was one of the best-known paper mill and hydraulic engineers in the country, and had extensive and widely scattered business interests. In 1947 the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry of New York City awarded him its highest reward for achievement — the Gold Medal. It was presented in recognition of outstanding contributions to the technical development of the entire industry, and received by one whose lifetime had been one of achievement and whose history, in itself, is a record of the important role the consulting engineer plays in the progress of the industry.

Hardy Ferguson was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, and the Engineers Club of New York City. At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Zeta Mu, was awarded the Spaulding Prize for mechanical drawing, was one of the editors of the '89 Aegis, in which most of its drawings were his, and played the flute in the College Orchestra.

He served as Class Agent for the Alumni Fund from 1944 until his death. His yearly contributions to the Fund were the largest given by any member of his Class. In recent years and until his death he was '89's Class President. Hardy Ferguson was unable to attend the 40th-Year Reunion, being at that time in Russia, called there in a professional capacity by the Soviet Union in connection with its hydraulic development and industrial trusts. It was the first and only 5-year Reunion he missed during his lifetime. Soon after the 50th-Year Reunion was held it was planned that thereafter a group of such members as were able to attend would gather in Hanover at Commencement time for an annual rendezvous. During the 15 and more years this plan has been in effect he not only never failed to attend, but at all these gatherings he was a leading spirit — and that includes last June at Commencement time when he was in Hanover with the Class Secretary, one of his two then living classmates.

He married February 22, 1895, at Portsmouth, N. H., Janet M. Gill. Their three children were Helen Wilcox, Hardy Smith Jr. '22 and John Gill. After marriage they lived where his work took him until his offices were opened in New York City, soon after which residence was taken up in Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. Mrs. Ferguson died there July 31, 1917. Thereafter he continued to live in Dobbs Ferry until his retirement in 1948, when he moved to Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and made his home with his daughter and her husband, Orin Francis Perry Jr. He is survived by his daughter Helen, his son and namesake, who is married and lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y., and his son John Gill, unmarried, many years a technical sergeant in the United States Army, now stationed at Fort Lee, Va.

Funeral services were held in Dobbs Ferry, On the casket were dark red roses from the two only living classmates of the departed that gave mute expression to their affectionate regard.

1899

CHARLES WALTER BONNEY died July 21 at his home, 422 E. Mt. Pleasant Ave., Germantown, Pa. His death resulted originally from a broken hip sustained last February. Several months in Jefferson Hospital led to marked improvement, but heat prostration in June and recurring attacks of acute bronchitis were too much for his weakened condition. Funeral services occurred July 25 at Oliver Bairs, Philadelphia; burial was in Ivy Hill Cemetery in that city. Bonney never married, and his only surviving relative is a cousin, Miss Grace L. Teague of Auburn, Me.

Charles Bonney was born in Paris, Maine, February 24, 1874. In the fall of 1898 he transferred from Bowdoin to Dartmouth, graduating B.L. with the Class of '99. The following year he studied medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio; then for a year he had charge of a sanitarium and laboratory in New York, doing work in physiological chemistry and psychology; thence he went to Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, where on graduating in 1904 he won the Phillips prize "in practice of medicine."

After passing the State Board examinations, Charles -was resident intern at the Jewish Hospital, but in 1905 he began general practice, gradually becoming a recognized specialist in urology. For fifty years he served Philadelphia as a tireless physician and surgeon. A large part of this time he was also a popular professor on the anatomical staff of Jefferson Medical College. He served too as surgeon at the Southern Dispensary and at St. Agnes and Methodist Episcopal Hospitals, as well as doing research on cancer of the jaw at Philadelphia Hospital, and writing articles for the American Journal of Surgery. He translated and revised a celebrated German work on men's diseases, and assisted in editing other important medical works. He was a member of the American Medical Association, American Urological Association, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons certified by the American Board of Surgery, and a fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

It was Charles's custom to work twelve hours a day, six days a week. His friendly personality, his scholarship and teaching ability won him lasting fame. And his courage and patience in his final illness were equally notable.

1902

Few men in the class were ever held in greater respect and affection than was Gene, staunch friend, lovable, genial, generous. No man in the class will be missed more. Judge Sewall had many other active interests outside his law practice and family. He was a member of St. Aspinquid Lodge AF & AM of York, the York Country Club, and the Warick Club of Portsmouth, a charter member and first president of the Portsmouth Kiwanis Club.

Matt Bullock and Carl Woods who were honorary bearers; and Tinker Gale, Perce Hobbs, Myron Witham, Edge, Squid Lampee, Peter Maguire, Ike Maynard, Sid Rollins, Ralph Sexton, Charlie Tubbs, and several wives of members of the class attended the funeral. Gene was a beloved member who came to all our reunions and his friendship has enriched the lives of all of us.

MILLARD FILMORE CHASE, who entered with the Class of 1904 and remained with us two years, passed away at his home in Jefferson, Wisconsin, on March 27. Chase came to the class from Brooks, Maine.

Practically all his career was spent in the real estate business in Boston, Chicago, Madison, Wis., and Long Beach, Calif. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Maude Chase, six children, fourteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Over the years our classmate rarely responded to letters and the secretary is deeply indebted to Mrs. Chase for the little information at hand. A letter of respect and sympathy was sent to Mrs. Chase on behalf of the class.

1906

ARTHUR DUNHAM HOLMES was born on July 19, 1884, in Walpole, N. H., and died on July 18 at his home, 79 Oldtown Road, Amherst, Mass.

After graduating from Dartmouth in 1906 he taught chemistry at the University of Maine for two years. In 1911 he received a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and in the fall of that year took a position as research chemist in the U. S. Department of Agriculture in Washington.

From 1918 to 1921 he was director of research for the Dupont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. His next position was with the E. L. Patch Co., Stoneham, Mass. In 1942 Arthur became professor of chemistry at the University of Massachusetts, from which he retired in 1953. He was a prolific writer of monographs, pamphlets and articles on chemical subjects. After retirement Arthur bought a farm and engaged in the raising of prize winning sheep.

In June 1912, Arthur was married to Edna Foy Wright who died in 1921. Their daughter Mary Wright Holmes was born in 1914. In November 1922, Arthur was married to Florence Manning Lippincott who died in 1941. In June 1942 he was married to Julia Pratt Outhouse who survives him with his daughter, Mrs. Duncan Hunter of Claremont, N. H.

1910

ALPHEUS DIXI CROSBY passed away August 15 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Elizabeth, N. J. For some time, he had suffered from heart trouble. Funeral services were held in New Rochelle, N. Y., on August 18.

Dixi was born February 22, 1889, in New York City, son of Hiram B. Crosby '54 and Margaret Ackerman Crosby. He prepared for Dartmouth at Morris High School.

Although he made his home in Larchmont, N. Y., Dixi drove each day to Bloomfield, N. J., where he was a teacher for 36 years. His first position was at Poughkeepsie High School in 1910. The next three years were spent at Guilford (N. C.) College where he taught English. From 1914 to 1916 he was Superintendent of Lectures at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts, Sciences and Dramatics. He went to Bloomfield in 1916 and from 1917 to 1942 he taught also at Bloomfield College.

The tremendous influence of Dixi's service as a teacher is well stated in a story about his work which appeared in the Newark Sunday News about the time of his retirement in 1953. "In his tenure at Bloomfield High" the story reads, "thousands of young people passed through Crosby's English classes. But literally more thousands knew him too — they were members of the boys' Glee Club he organized, appeared in the senior plays he directed for 25 years, or cheered the football team to victory with such now-traditional songs as 'Fight 'til the Whistle Blows' and 'Let's Go, Bloomfield' for which Crosby wrote the words and music. He was the author of some twenty songs and cheers which have become traditions at the school, including the Alma Mater which he wrote in 1931."

On his questionnaire returned to the Class in 1949, Dixi wrote, "The greatest satisfaction I have gotten out of teaching is in selling Dartmouth to promising boys. Judging by the number I have peTrsuaded to go up to the New Hampshire hills, my sales have been good." A letter received from one of his "boys," following the announcement of Dixi's death, contains this tribute: "He loved Dartmouth and all that it stood for, and made all who came in contact with him feel that love of his alma mater. There can be no tribute great enough to describe his devotion to what he believed in. He said little but rather let his actions speak."

Dixi was honored by the College in June 1953, having been an invited guest at the ceremony commemorating the "Genesis of the Petroleum Industry." Dixi was a great-greatnephew of Dr. Dixi Crosby of the Dartmouth Medical School faculty, who in 1853, made "the first scientific examination of crude oil."

Dixi served in both World Wars. In the Ist War he was a Major in the Field Artillery. In the Second War he served as a Captain in the Army in the Asiatic-Pacific War Zone. He was a member of the Military Order of World Wars, the Reserve Officers Association and the American Legion.

Dixi never married and is survived only by a brother, John S. Crosby of Larchmont, N. Y.

CLEON BUCKLIN WHITE died at Berca, Kentucky, on May 9, after an illness that had incapacitated him for a number of years.

He was born at Danvers, Mass., November 8, 1889, the son of Charles Henry and Etta Belle (Bucklin) White. Preparing at Danvers High School, he entered Dartmouth and graduated with the Class of 1912.

From 1912 to 1930 he was associated with his father in conducting the White Entertainment Bureau in Boston, an organization that supplied speakers and entertainers to the old Chatauqua circuits. With the passing of the Chatauqua, that business ended.

1917

MAURICE THOMAS HEALEY Jr. passed away at St. Mary's Hospital, Waterbury, Conn., on June 1, following a brief illness. His home was at 85 Newton Terrace, Waterbury.

Maurice, the son of Maurice T. and Mary (Lawlor) Healey, was born at Waterbury on August 7, 1893. After graduation from Crosby High School he entered Dartmouth in 1913. There he became a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa. After his graduation in 1917 he enlisted in the Ordnance Department, U. S.

He became president and owner of Marcus Ruben, Inc., uniform manufacturers. Cort Horr saw him occasionally, and exchanged with him their interest in Dartmouth. Dan was in college only freshman year, and it had not been the pleasure of many classmates to see him since his departure from the campus. The class is sorry to learn of his passing.

RAYMOND JOSEPH HURLEY died May 28, from cancer, at his home, 425 Grove St., Evanston, Ill. Ray's father served as Chairman of the U. S. Shipping Board in World War I, and founded the Thor Corp. of which Ray was later president and chairman of the board. He had a wonderful family — wife Betty, Ray Jr., Susan, Phoebe, Judith and Jill. Gene Markey, who writes the following two paragraphs, was close to them all.

"Alumni obituaries invariably begin 'It is hard to realize that X is no longer with us.' For me, it will be fantastically hard to realize that Ray Hurley is dead; he was the most 'alive' man I ever knew. Vitality streamed endlessly from his strong body and his quick, perceptive mind. We knew him for his wit, his vigorous turn of phrase; in my young days no comedian on the stage made me laugh so often. Humor can be a hindrance to affection, but it was not so with Ray. Any person lucky enough to know him well, loved him deeply because he had an unusual talent for friendship.

"His career was bright with success, but his greatest success was his marriage. From the moment he met Betty Taylor in 1917, he adored her; she was the only sweetheart he ever knew. I often tagged along, making a crowd of three, during their courtship — which proceeded, like everything else in Ray's life, at high speed. They married just before he sailed with his regiment for France — and through 39 years they were extraordinarily happy together. I feel a sharp sadness, knowing how much Betty and his children will miss him. We shall miss him, too."

LAWRENCE HENRY RILEY died June 6 in Chester, N. Y. He had been in ill health since he suffered a stroke some years ago.

Larry was born in Nashua, N. H., October 20, 1896. He graduated from Nashua High School where he was on the baseball team and debating society. Larry graduated with our class with Phi Beta Kappa rank.

From 1918 to 1922 he was a chemist with du Pont and in 1922 became head of the science department at Princeton Preparatory School. In 1935 he became dean and instructor of mathematics at the Newman School in Lakewood, N. J. He was later in the treasurer's office of the Hudson County Hospital.

On June 22, 1927 Larry was married to Marion Hendry who survives him with a son, Arthur Lawrence, and a brother, Charles A. Riley '17.

It was always a pleasure to meet Larry, always fitting so quietly into his surroundings. All of us who lived in New Hampshire Hall particularly remember him and we, with all his friends in college, will miss him.

1920

ROBERT HUSE MOORE passed away on May 18 in Lexington, Mass., where he had lived for 32 years. He was 57 years old. Bob's comparatively brief stay at Dartmouth was interrupted by service in the Navy, and as early as the spring of 1919 he joined his father's business, there to remain until his retirement in 1954. For the greater part of this long term with the J. W. Moore Machine Co. of Everett, Mass., he acted as president of the company.

The son of Joseph W. and Mary (Dutton) Moore, Bob prepared for college at Newton (Mass.) High School and Phillips Andover Academy. During freshman year at Dartmouth he joined the Chi Phi fraternity. Then came his naval service and the start of his business career. In 1924 he married Hazel Sprague of Milton, Mass., and her death in 1952 was a severe blow to him. During late years Bob's health had not been good, and the hypertension which made surgery necessary ultimately brought on the cerebral hemorrhage which was the cause of his death.

Survivors include two sons, Robert H. Moore Jr. '47 and Joseph W. Moore; a daughter Meredith (Mrs. James Lynn); and three grandchildren. Bob was at one time active in the Everett Rotary Club and was a member of the First Parish Unitarian Church, Lexington, where his funeral services were held.

The Class suffered still another loss when IRVING EDWIN BLAINE succumbed to a brain tumor in Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, on July 6. Seemingly in good health until a few weeks previously, he submitted to an operation, unsuccessfully, when his condition became apparent. His home was at Old Depot Road, West Kingston, R. I.

Irv (known to many of his classmates and friends as "Bug") was born in Newport, R. I., August 13, 1896, the son of Edwin Carlos and Jennie (Waterbury) Blaine. He prepared for Dartmouth at Rogers High School, Newport. In Hanover he was active in sports, playing freshman football and varsity hockey. His Tuck School degree, obtained in 1932, led him directly to the advertising business, which occupied his lifetime attention, except for a period of distinguished service with the War Production Board during World War II. Throughout most of his career he was with Livermore & Knight (now Knight & Gilbert) of Providence, and at the time of his death he was vice president of the company. He married Hope Woodmansee in 1923.

Lyon Southworth represented 1920 at Irv's funeral. Commenting on the untimeliness of his close friend's death, he wrote: "We talked to Hope, who seemed to be meeting the situation with remarkable courage. There are three Blaine children, two sons and a daughter, the oldest 32 and all married. Bug had a wonderful time when the nine grandchildren came to visit. He and Hope had put loving care into developing their West Kingston home as a place for eventual retirement. Within commuting distance from Providence, yet only a few miles from Narragansett Bay, this seemed ideal. Bug had become interested in sailing and only last fall acquired a small boat with which he planned to have a lot of fun."

Irv was a member of the Needham (Mass.) Congregational Church, the Attleboro Rotary Club, the Attleboro Power Squadron and the Point Judith Yacht Club. Funeral services were held in Wakefield, R. I., and burial took place in Queens River Cemetery, South Kingston.

Word from Baltimore brings the bad news of still another loss to the Class. JAMES WILLIAM STARK died at his home there of a heart attack on January 16.

Popular as Jim was in his college years an always reliable listening post for the affairs of Main Street and a staunch supporter of Allen's Drug Store — he dropped out of touch with most classmates after he left Hanover. He was with Filene's in Boston at first, sold pens for Craig Sheaffer's company for a brief spell, and then served in various capacities with Macy's, Montgomery Ward, Abraham & Straus, and other department stores. His connection at the time of his death was with the Hess Shoe Co., at Edmoñdson Village in suburban Baltimore.

Jim was born in Lyons, N. Y., November 28, 1898, the son of Louis K. and Annie (Putnam) Stark. Coming to Dartmouth from Brighton (Mass.) High School, he played freshman baseball, joined Phi Sigma Kappa, and made the soccer team his senior year. He was married in 1925 to Dorothy Parker, who predeceased Jim by less than a year, dying in April 1955.

1921
