1889

Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Taylor of Andover, Mass., were abroad during the summer. Arriving in England in late mid-June, they were in London a few days before going to the country village of Long Thatch Shillingstone, North Blanford, Dorset, to spend the summer in a low-studded, thatched-roof cottage, with a lovely garden to look out upon. They rented a car - a new Ford Consul, - which gave them much pleasure and enabled them to see a lot of southern England. Their old haunts of Hampshire, where a previous summer had been spent, were within easy reach, making it possible to see many friends living there. Mr. Taylor's duties on the teaching staff of Phillips Andover Academy called for his return home in September before opening of the fall term of the Academy, and they came home by air, leaving London, where they spent all day on a Thursday, and arrived home in time to spend all the next day, Friday, in Andover.

Our late classmate, Edwin Bell Davis, while an undergraduate at Dartmouth, registered his home as that of his parents in Manchester, N. H., where his father was overseer of the wool-sorting shop of the Manchester Mills. They previously had lived in Lawrence, Mass., where our classmate was born. His father, Bryam Bell Davis, was of Welsh parentage, and was born in Ravenstonedale in Westmoreland, England. His mother, whose maiden name was Amelia Lockhart, was of English and Scotch-Irish parentage, and was born in Kirk Byrton, Yorkshire, England.
