1894

Mrs. Walter H. Rollins died, after a short illness, at Denver, Colo., March 8, while visiting her daughter Lois. The body was cremated and the ashes were interred at Wilmington, Mass., March 16, beside the ashes of her husband who died in 1939. The service in each instance was conducted by the class secretary.

During the nearly nineteen years since her husband's death Mrs. Rollins had spent her life very enjoyably and very usefully among her children (three daughters and one son) and her eleven grandchildren (and one great-grandchild). The family is represented in College by Edgar V. Turner Jr., of the Class of '59. He is the father of the one great-grandchild.

Mrs. Rollins' feeling toward the class is shown by this word that she wrote for our last Fall Round-Up: "I thank you for including me in the invitation to the Matt Jones Roundup which was such an important occasion to 'Ajax' as long as he was here. It would be wonderful to meet those whom I have known and so highly regarded all these years."

Notes from other Round-Up letters: Mrs. Fred Smalley is now head nurse at the Island Terrace Nursing Home, Lakeville, Mass. Mrs. Henry Hurd - "Plodding along in the same old way, having fresh vegetables and flowers from my garden, consequently pulling plenty of weeds! When this fall gathering comes along I am always reminded of the happy times Henry had with you."

Mrs. Aubrey Lewis - "My daughter, whose husband was killed in an auto accident several years ago, was married last February to Mr. D. A. Barbour. They are living in Benson, N. C. I try to raise glads as this was one of Aubrey's hobbies. I am not as successful as he. The big problem here is integration. The whites nor the colored are ready for it. We have had no trouble so far in our schools."

Mrs. Fred Mudgett —"I am now living with my grandson, Arthur Mudgett, and his family (two great-granddaughters) not far from my son Vernon, with whom Arthur works on the apple and Guernsey breeders' farm. My daughter Ruth, now a widow, lives in Houston, Tex., with her three children. Hope and her husband have a jewelry store in White River Junction."

The sympathy of '94 goes to '99 in the loss of its class secretary. It was always a pleasure for this secretary to meet Phil Winchester and his wife at the Class Officers' meeting in May. The passing of George Clark also reminds one of that fine group of '99ers who have kept the class during the years at the forefront of camaraderie and loyalty. This writer especially recalls Charlie Donahue, Joe Gannon and Warren Kendall.
