1900

JOHN BACHOP WARDEN died of a heart attack at the Shore Manor Convalescent Home, Daytona Beach, Fla., on September 19. For a number of years he had been in very poor health. Funeral services were held at Daytona Beach and burial was in the Warden family lot in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery, Hanover.

Dr. Warden was born in Hanover, August 23, 1878. He was the younger brother of Christie Warden, and, as a 12-year-old boy, played a by no means inconspicuous part in the locally famous Christie Warden murder case. John attended Kimball Union Academy and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1900, and from the Dartmouth Medical School in 1903.

Johnnie had a most interesting, varied, and useful career in medicine. After one year as house officer at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, he entered private practice in Bath, N. H. Then in 1909 he opened an office in Whitefield. During this period he found time to contribute in various ways to the civic well-being of these communities. On June 10, 1917 he enlisted in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He was assigned for a time to army base hospitals in this country, and then was sent to France and served in hospitals in Alsace. He was mustered out of service in 1920 with the rank of captain but almost immediately reenlisted.

During the period from 1923 to 1939 Johnnie was in private practice in Ashaway, R. 1., served veterans hospitals in Maywood, Ind., and Minneapolis and was physician for a C.C.C. Camp near Gheen, Minn. Largely because of injuries suffered in an automobile accident he retired in 1939 and spent summers in Hanover and winters in Florida.

Johnnie was well known to our class because of his genuine friendliness and his ever-present enthusiasm. For a good many years his classmates have had only indirect contact with him; however, the memory of a kindly, joyous personality remains with us.

John is survived by his wife, Edla Douglass Warden of Daytona Beach, Fla.; his son, John D. Warden '48, of Ormond Beach, Fla.; and one grandson.

1924

ALFRED ALBION ADAMS JR., who had been seriously ill as far back as 1950, with ups and downs until the last few years, died on October 15. His passing leaves a major gap in the class fellowship, for few families were as loyal as the combination of Jeff, Beattie, and Jean.

Jeff was born on May 9, 1899 in Brooklyn, N. Y. He came to Dartmouth from Peddie and the Bordentown Military Academy. In college he was known for his singing with the Glee Club and with the popular Campus Quartet and Choir. He was a member of Green Key, served as class treasurer for his first two years, and was on the swimming team. His society memberships. included Kappa Kappa Kappa, the Masons, and Commodore Coast Guard Temporary Reserve (1944).

Hi's business career was curtailed by illness. He started in 1926 with the F. H. Haskell Lumber Co., in Lynn, Mass., as a salesman. Five years later he was. a teacher and then headmaster of the Sweetser Junior High School in Saugus, Mass. He had attended Boston University School of Education, 1926-27. He retired in 1933-34 to manage investments. In 1938 he formed the Adams & Litchfield Co., dealers in canvas.

Jeff was president of the Dartmouth Club of Wellesley, 1936-38, and ably served the Class of 1924 as secretary, 1939-44.

The Adams family was a very active one from the first. Jeff found an enthusiastic partner in his wife, Beatrice Holliday, when he married her on June 19, 1925. Their first child, Jean, born March 10, 1926, seems to have a good claim to being the class baby. She attended 1924 events at least as late as our 25th reunion. She is married and lives in Birmingham, Mich. Alfred Albion Adams III, born November 3, 1935, graduated from Harvard in June 1961. He married the former Sandra Snow and they have two children, living in Wellesley. Beatrice is unmarried.

Jeff had many interests and hobbies: fishing and hunting, billiards and bowling, boating and travel, among others. But he would want two others mentioned as topping all the rest: Dartmouth and music. We remember him most for these two, and send our sympathy to Beattie and the children.

It is one of the unhappy duties of a class secretary to have to write obituaries, but none more unhappy than when we have not been able to keep in touch with a classmate over the years. This is true in the case of FORREST MERTON WEEKS whose death occurred on January 30, 1961 in Los Angeles.

"Cubby" Weeks was born in Manchester, N. H., January 18, 1902 and attended Manchester High School. After graduating from Dartmouth he was for some years connected with several chain stores, first J. G. McCrory in Georgia and Pennsylvania, and later with Metropolitan Stores, in Calgary, Alberta. In 1944 he became connected with Southern California Gas Co. in Los Angeles and at the time of his death was a field meterman in the measurement department, headquarters division.

Cubby never married and there is no record of any survivors.

1925

Belated notice of the death of ALBERT CHENEY HEATH JR. on May 10, 1961, at Longview, Washington, has been received from his brother, Morris '29.

Born June 14, 1903, at St. Paul, Minn., the son of Albert C. Heath '91, Al prepared for Dartmouth at Mechanic Arts High School of that city. He remained in Hanover two years and was a member of Zeta Psi.

Information on his activities during the ensuing years is meager. For a brief period in the early 30's he was in the traffic department of the Puget Sound Navigation Co. of Seattle. A few years later he was associated with the Woolery Machine Co. of Minneapolis as a salesman. In the early 40's he went to New Orleans as a salesman for Fairbanks, Morse & Co., and in 1947 he went with the National Supply Co. of that city.

We have no facts about his personal life and can only mourn the loss of another classmate with an offering of solace to unknown members of his family.

CHARLES RALPH JAMESON died at his home in Wayland, Mass., a few hours after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage on October 22. Services were held at the First Baptist Church, Weston, Mass., with burial in Newport, N. H.

He was a corporator of the West Newton Savings Bank and also held memberships in the Algonquin and Downtown Clubs of Boston and the Weston Golf Club. In addition he served as a regular member of the Class of 1925 Executive Committee.

Surviving are his wife, Carolyn (Eubanks); a son, Lt. Craig E. Jameson '60, U. S. Army, serving in Germany; a sister, Mrs. Arthur K. White of Newport, N. H., and a brother, Paul C. '29 of Verona, N. J., all staunch Dartmouth people, who requested that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Dartmouth College for the Charles Ralph Jameson Memorial Fund to be credited to the Class of 1925 Faculty Fund. This fund remains open for further additions.

Jamie and Carolyn had been in Hanover just a week prior to his death, for the annual meeting of the 1925 officers and executive committee.

The Class has indeed lost an active member and the College a loyal son. Our deep sympathy is extended to his family and his associates.

1926

CHESTER HERBERT COOK died in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on August 29, from a heart condition that had afflicted him for more than eight years. Because he was with us in Hanover just a few months, and did not continue his Dartmouth contacts, our information is limited.

Almost his entire business career was spent with the Sunday Creek Coal Co., a concern that had extensive coal land holdings in southeastern Ohio.
