CLARENCE EGBERT BUTTERFIELD passed away at the hospital in Concord, N. H., on October 16 following a heart attack. Funeral services were held at the South Congregational Church, of which he had long been a member, on October 18. Burial was in Blossom Hill Cemetery in West Concord. His home was at 17 North State St.

"Butter", as he was fondly called by his classmates, was born in Weathersfield, Vt., on December 29, 1.875, the son of Stephen W. and Sarah (Mudgett) Butterfield. He was reared on a New England farm, and through this experience there was forged the gold of a strong and lovable character. He entered Dartmouth from the Springfield, Vt., High School. After graduating in 1900 he continued his studies at the Dartmouth Medical School from which he was graduated in 1903. In college he was a member of KKK fraternity, was active in the Y.M.C.A., participated in athletics in freshman year, and had the reputation of being a wise counselor and friend.

He interned for a year at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Manchester, N. H. From 1904 to 1918 he served the community of Suncook, N. H., as physician and surgeon. Since 1918 he has been a deeply respected and loved medical and surgical practitioner in Concord. He served on the staffs of the Margaret Pillsbury Hospital and the New Hampshire Memorial Hospital. For fifty years he was a member of the local and county medical societies.

Professionally, Dr Butterfield was an expert diagnostician and a skillful surgeon. He was another of the old school family physicians, who gave advice, counsel and encouragement in full measure to his patients. He has left a splendid heritage of unselfish devotion to his profession, his many friends, to the Class of 1900, and to Dartmouth College.

In 1904 Dr. Buterfield married Ethel Maude Proud of Manchester, who passed away in 1951. He is survived by his son Warren '27, M.D. Harvard '31, who has been associated with him in medical practice in Concord: a daughter, Mrs. Faith Wyer of Lynnfield Center, Mass.; a granddaughter; and a brother, Rev.

In college he was captain of the freshman football team, college golf champion and a member of DKE. In the summer of 1904 he found a job on a cattle ranch in Montana. He loved the life so much he never returned to college.

On the death of his mother in 1906, Ray returned to Chicago and from then on was in the real estate business there, where he became an historic figure in the Chicago scene. He established a reputation as a giant in the field of industrial acreage and put though some of the largest deals in the history of Chicago. He foresaw the potential development of the southwest side of Chicago and was active in areas outside the city. To his business associates he was known as a man of unsurpassed integrity with a unique ability to foresee the development of Chicago and to bring together the business interests necessary to carry through the development.

Ray had a consuming interest in hunting, fishing and exploring. He spent many weeks in the summer exploring northern Canada, much of which was not mapped. He was considered to be one of the country's outstanding wet fly fishermen. He was a member of the Izaak Walton League, the Camp Fire Club of Chicago and the Coleman Lake Club. He had been a trustee of Lake Forest Academy for many years.

Ray is survived by his wife, the former Carolyn P. Weaver; three sons, Grant '35, Randolph, Hobart '37 and Hamilton, Williams '38; and a nephew Lawrence Herman '34. Earl L. Herman '04 was a brother.

1907

WILLIAM THOMAS FOLEY died at his home, 617 Floral Ave., Terrace Park, Ohio, on October 4.

Bill was born in White River Junction, Vt., on February 5, 1881. He transferred to the University of Cincinnati after his freshman year at Dartmouth, and was not known intimately by his classmates.

He was captain of the University of Cincinnati football team in 1905 and its head coach in 1906. He had been a member of the freshman team at Dartmouth, and of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity.

VICTOR LOUIS KING died at his home on Middlebrook Rd., Bound Brook, N. J., on October 12.

Vic was born in Nashville, Tenn., on March 14, 1886. He prepared for college at the high school in Rutherford, N. J. He left Dartmouth during his junior year and completed his education at Columbia, the University of Zurich, and the Swiss Federal Polytechnic, and received doctorates, summa cum laude,. in chemistry from the two Swiss institutions. During this period, he studied under Dr. Albert Einstein and other noted scientists.

Before 1919, when he joined the Calco Chemical Division of the American Cyanamid Co., with which he was to be associated until his retirement, Vic had worked for enterprises conducted by August Heckscher, Thomas A. Edison, August Belmont, Charles Pfizer and Co. and for Hoffman-La Roche in Germany.

During World War I, Vic was chairman of the dye section of the War Industries Board and played an important role in developing the dye industry in this country. He also held chemical patents in the field of antibiotics.

During his later years, he had built, staffed and operated chemical plants in Europe, Asia and the United States. He was a founding member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Vic was a Republican, a Congregationalist, a Mason, a member of Chemists Club, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, President of the Community Chest, and Commodore of Barnegat Bay Boy Scouts.

He married Eugenie Catherine Ruegger, a graduate of the University of Basle, Switzerland, on September 7, 1907. There were four sons, all of whom attended Dartmouth: Victor '31, Jamie '34, Gene '39, Thomas '45, and two grandsons, one in the class of '57, the other in the class of '59.

Surviving this unusually able citizen and '07 classmate are Mrs. King, the four sons, seven grandchildren, and a great-granddaughter.

1907 and Dartmouth may well be proud of Vic and his distinguished career. They will feel his loss deeply.

THOMAS SULLIVAN FIELD died October 10 at the hospital in Orangedale, Fla. His home was on R.F.D., Green Cove Springs, Fla. He had been in poor health before and during 1907's Fiftieth Reunion. In May of this year, chest pains developed and he visited the Lahey Clinic in Boston for diagnosis and surgery. Though the operation was believed to be successful, Tom was unable to regain strength. As he weakened, he entered a hospital near his home last September, but was conscious for short intervals only before his death. A chronic bronchitis which had plagued him throughout his life appears to have damaged his lungs.

Tom was born in Nashua, N. H., on March 25, 1886, and prepared for college at Nashua High School. He was chosen by his Dartmouth class to be its sophomore year vice-president. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Dragon.

After receiving his M.D. in 1910 from Dartmouth Medical School he chose Jacksonville, Fla., in which to live and practice. There he specialized in obstetrics and gynecology. He was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and chief of obstetrics and gynecology at St. Luke's and St. Vincent's Hospitals and at Duval Medical Center. Later he became consultant at these institutions.

During World War I, Tom served as Lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the Navy. After the war, he was Chief Surgeon of the U. S. Naval Hospital at Charleston, N. C. During his active career he was a member of many local and national medical associations.

Tom retired' from active practice in 1954, and occupied himself with his farm, on which he raised pheasants, partridges, quail, turkeys, peacocks and New Hampshire Red hens, and a great variety of flowers, shrubs and trees.

Tom married Elizabeth Colt Zevely on June 11, 1912 in New York City. There were two children, a daughter Catherine, now Mrs. Hagan, of Jacksonville, Fla., and a son, Peter. Mrs. Field died on January 19, 1954. On September 4, 1954, Tom married Louise Pauline Pethe. He is survived by his wife, his daughter, his son, two brothers and a sister.

Tom's sister, Mrs. Ralph Sexton, reports that Tom looked forward eagerly to the Fiftieth Reunion, and that he enjoyed it very much. He will be sadly missed at future '07 gatherings.

1926

CLARENCE GODFREY McDAVITT died of cancer on October 1, at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. His home was at 33 Wedgemere Ave., Winchester. Thus ended a courageous battle of over three years, during which Mac often humorously referred to himself as a "guinea pig," because of the experimental and sometimes highly encouraging treatments he took throughout that period under the cancer research group of the Children's Medical Center in Boston. Typical of Mac, cancer to him was not a dirty or forbidden word; it was a new and increasingly tough problem to which was applied the best that science could provide, coupled with his own optimistic determination to live with it.

Born January 10, 1904, in Pompton, N. J., Mac was the only child of Edith and Clarence G. McDavitt 'oo, from whom he inherited in full measure the qualities of leadership, executive and athletic ability, love of Dartmouth and great capacity for friendship, which so characterized both father and son. Mac's boyhood and schooldays were lived in Newton, Mass., where he graduated from Newton High School in 1922. In college he was a varsity track man, president of DKE, a member of Sphinx, D O C and Green Key. As an alumnus, Mac served the Class for ten years (1931-1941) as treasurer and member of the executive committee, and for several of those years he was also our class agent. He attended every reunion the class held. No call for help in a class activity was ever made to Mac in vain. He was a Regular in every way.

Following graduation, Mac started his career in banking with the Chatham Phoenix (Manufacturers' Trust) in New York. In 1928 he came home to Newton as assistant cashier of the Newton National Bank. In 1929 he married Emily (Billie) Mansfield of Lynnfield, Mass., and a year or two later they established their permanent home in Winchester, where Mac became cashier of the Winchester National Bank. In 1934 he was appointed manager of the Somerville National Bank. In 1936 he was elected executive vice-president, and in January 1942 he became president, the position he held until 1956, when he semi-retired to the chairmanship. While the bank grew and prospered under his direction, Mac's interests in banking also widened, leading him to membership on the executive council of the American Bankers Association and to the presidency of the Massachusetts Bankers Association. In addition to numerous articles on banking subjects, he was the author of a widely circulated book entitled Responsibilities of aBank Director.

Early in 1942, Mac was commissioned a lieutenant in the U. S. Naval Reserve, and went on active duty. In 1944 was swarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his work on the bridge of the carrier USS Hancock following a kamikaze attack in the western Pacific. He was a lieutenant commander when he left the Navy in 1945.

In civic affairs Mac was a director of the Massachusetts Development Corporation; a prime mover in the formation, and a former president, of the Somerville Chamber of Commerce; a director of the Somerville Rotary Club. He was a former director of the Winchester Hospital, a member of the Winchester Country Club and of the Boston Yacht Club.

Among a multitude of hobbies, his most active over the years were skiing and cruising the coast of Maine in his Tahitian ketch Reva, in both of which Billie and their sons, Ted and Don, shared fully and expertly. In the last few years, however, all his many other interests were overshadowed by his devotion to and interest in his grandson, Kenny, and his twin granddaughters, Nancy and Betty. Young as they are, these three will thus have the privilege of sharing with Billie, their families and a host of friends, the bright memory of a very grand guy.

This was all expressed more eloquently than here at a memorial service in the Unitarian Church in Winchester on a beautiful October Friday afternoon. Many of the Dartmouth people who attended (including Walt and Billie Rankin and Bob and Dot Salinger, representing the Class) left the church after the service on their way to Hanover, Dartmouth Night and the Penn game. That is the way Mac would have wanted it.

R. D. S.

WINFRED MATTHEWS NICKERSON died from a heart attack on September 29 in Los Angeles. His home was at 19 Station Road, Great Neck, N. Y., where he had lived since 1939.

Nick was born in Portland, Maine, on November 4, 1903, the son of Martha (Matthews) and Ernest Nickerson. He prepared for Dartmouth at Portland High School. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

Aside from a very short period with R. H. Macy & Co., Nick's business career was spent with the Chase National Bank, where he was in the Credit Department until 1943, and then with American Smelting & Refining Company. With the latter company he was associated with the Federated Metals Division at the company's New York headquarters, and subsequently in Houston, and Los Angeles. In the latter assignment he was credit manager for Southern California and Arizona. At the time of his death, he was on a business trip to California.

On September 9, 1933, Nick was married to Lucy Ainslie of Lynn, Mass. Their son John, born in 1937, is now a senior at Leland Stanford University. In addition to his wife and son, Nick is survived by his mother and a sister, Mrs. Gilbert Leslie of Newington, Conn.

Nick's funeral was held in Great Neck on October 4, and the Class of 1926 was represented by John H. Bickford and Bleecker R. Williams as pallbearers. Another pallbearer was H. A. ("Bud") Foulks '29.

Nick was a very loyal Dartmouth son, who kept up his interest in the College and Class to the last. Last fall he attended the Dartmouth-Columbia game in New York, and was very enthused at seeing the "Big Green" again after several years in Texas and California. He was a faithful contributor to the Alumni Fund and to the class dues campaigns, and in 1957 was an assistant class agent in the New York area. It sometimes seems trite to describe a classmate as "loyal to Dartmouth," but in Nick's case it was honestly true; his interest in, and affection for, the College could hardly be exaggerated. He was a devoted son and a loving husband and father. He will be greatly missed, not only by his family and wide circle of friends, but by all of the Class of 1926 who knew him.

1933

HUDSON CROY STONE passed away at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on July 24. He had had a coronary attack in 1946 from which he never completely recovered. In 1956 and 1957 he suffered additional shocks, losing his speech permanently in the fall of 1957.

"Huddy" was born in Haverhill, Mass., on March 19, 1910, the son of Henry Lewis Stone 'OB and Janet Croy. He attended Haverhill High School and the Tilton School where he participated in several sports.

He left Dartmouth at the end of our freshman year and was married to Madeline Mears in September 1930. They had three daughters. He was later married to Eleanor M. Duke of Meriden, Conn., and they had a son in January 1956.

Huddy's business career was spent as an accountant with several firms, including the Watertown Chrome Plating Co., where our records indicate he was last employed until his health failed.

He is survived by his parents; his wife; three daughters, Mrs. Chester (Donna Marion) Kimball, Shirley Ann and Janet Croy Stone; and his son, Peter Michael Stone; to all of whom the sympathies of the Class of 1933 are extended.

FORD MARDEN was found dead in his cottage at Peabody Pond in Sebago, Maine, on October 12. He had gone there to enjoy a few days in the outdoors, which had always been so much a part of his life. Fordy had fallen in the woods and suffered a severe head injury, but managed to make his way back to the cottage only to succumb before his neighbors realized that he had been hurt.

Born in Leominster, Mass., in 1907, Fordy entered Dartmouth from Newton, Mass., and Exeter Academy where he had been active in the Outing Club and played baseball. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta and Green Key. His continued interest in the outdoors found him active in Cabin and Trail, Bait and Bullet and the Ledyard Canoe Club.

From graduation until 1941, Ford was employed in Hanover, first with E. H. Hunter and then as a salesman for Rogers Garage. He then became purchasing agent for the N. E. Shipbuilding Co. in Portland, Maine. Entering the Navy in 1943, he was discharged as a Lieutenant in 1946 and became a sales representative for Republic Steel in New York City. In 1952, Fordy joined the Utica Drop Forge and Tool Co., Utica, N. Y., where he was president of the Mohawk Valley Dartmouth Club in 1955-56. At the time of his death, Fordy was living in Ashland, Maine, where he had gone to study for and successfully complete an examination for a Civil Service appointment, which he was expecting momentarily.

Fordy was one of those quiet, sincere and considerate classmates upon whom constant contact with nature had left its real imprint. In fulfillment of a long-standing request, his ashes were strewn on his beloved Peabody Fond.

The sympathies of the Class are extended to his daughter, Mrs. Bruce Nero, Clark Mills, N. Y.; his granddaughters, Deborah and Joyce; his son, Ford Jr., currently on duty with the U. S. Air Force in Germany; and his two sisters and a brother.

1934

We are deeply saddened to learn at this late date of the death o£ GEORGE ABBOTT GREEN on July 17 in Newark, N. J.

George was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1911. He prepared for college at Ridgewood High School in New Jersey. In college he majored in psychology and joined Delta Tau Delta. George was first married to Genevieve von Hoven and had three children, Deborah, 18; George A. Jr., 16; and David, 14. They live in River Edge, N. J.

His second marriage was to Sibyl K. Green on June 13, 1955. They lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, until George, who was then with Western Electric Co., was transferred to New York City. His first heart attack occurred in October 1957. He developed pneumonia and another heart attack and was in and out of the hospital from that time until his death. Near the end he asked to be taken home and his wish was granted. His ashes were scattered at sea in accordance with his desire.

His widow, Sibyl, of whom he was so proud and whom he loved so dearly, survives as does his mother, Mrs. Shirley Mitchell. Sibyl's address is 12 Summit Street, East Orange, N. J.

George will be missed by his classmates in 1934 and we all extend our sincere sympathy to his family.
