JOHN KING LORD JR., member of a celebrated Dartmouth family, died December 26, 1961 in his 88th year, while a patient in St. Vincent's Hospital, St. Louis, Mo. His home was at 125 North Woodlawn Ave., Kirkwood, Mo.

Mr. Lord, a practicing attorney in St. Louis for nearly sixty years, was the greatgrandson of President Nathan Lord of Dartmouth College and was the third member of his line in direct succession to bear the name John King Lord. He was the son of John King Lord '68, member of the Dartmouth faculty from 1869 to 1916, the last 24 years as Daniel Webster Professor of Latin; and the grandson of the Rev. John King Lord, 1836, who died in Cincinnati at the age of 30. Other branches of the Lord family with Dartmouth connections are numerous, and the name has been prominent in the history of the College for 140 years.

Mr. Lord was born in Hanover on May 17, 1874, the son of Prof. John K. and Emma (Pomeroy) Lord. He prepared for Dartmouth at St. Johnsbury Academy, and in his freshman year at the College was president of the Class of 1895. He was graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. After graduation he went to St. Louis and worked as a collector for the Mills and Averill Tailoring Company while studying law at Washington University. Upon receiv ing his LL.B. degree in 1899 he began his practice in St. Louis, specializing in commercial law, and continued in this profession until he retired two years ago.

Mr. Lord was president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of St. Louis from 1911 to 1913. He was an alderman of the City of Kirkwood from 1922 to 1924, and for some years was a vestryman of Grace Episcopal Church.

Mr. Lord's first marriage, in 1902, was to Emily Alton Baker of Alton, Ill., who died January 22, 1905. An infant son, who would have been the fourth John King Lord in direct descent, died two days later. Mr. Lord's second marriage, in 1909 at Chester, Ill., was to Irma St. Vrain Cole, who survives him.

In addition to his widow, survivors include a daughter Elizabeth by his first marriage, now Mrs. G. Fred Driemeyer of Clayton, Mo.; a daughter, Miss Virginia Cole Lord, of Kirkwood; two grandchildren; two brothers, Dr. Frederic P. Lord '98 of Hanover and Arthur H. Lord '10 of Newton, Mass.; and a sister, Mrs. Laura L. Scales of Northampton, Mass.

1899

JOHN WILLIAM ASH was born in Hayfield, Derbyshire, England January 12, 1871, but came to Dover, N. H., with his parents in 1882. He died in a Corvallis, Oregon, hospital January 23. Arthritis had partly crippled him for years, but death resulted from a staphylococcus infection. He resided at 1107 36th St. North.

John worked on New England farms and in factories until he was 18, then took up a 160-acre homestead in Potlatch County, Idaho for four years, but returned to New Hampshire in 1893. By means of night school in Manchester and private tutoring he entered New Hampshire College in 1895, transferring in 1896 to Dartmouth as a '99 sophomore. The next year John worked in the Adirondacks and the Colorado Rockies for the U.S. Geodetic Survey, returning to Dartmouth in 1898 to finish his course and graduate B.S. with 1900, but without completing Thayer School. He retained warm affiliations with both '99 and '00, but eventually chose to be listed with the former.

After college John became a New York Central bridge inspector and foreman of concreting; then bridge builder for Southern and Seaboard in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. He had married Mabel C. Long in 1902, and their first five children were born in four different states. But in 1915 the Northwestern fever siezed him again. He loaded a freight car with furniture, and a Hudson touring car with his family and camping gear. Thirty-eight days and 3430 miles and seven states later, he reached Corvallis.

There during the next 45 years the Ash family created first a comfortable farm home, with fruit, vegetables, flowers, grain fields; and second, John's Builders' Supply Company, a city-block square, with a brick and tile works and a concrete plant on the side. As the years passed the children took over more and more of his responsibilities, giving him time for boating, fishing, hunting on the river and at the family camp sixty miles up the coast.

John Ash was a leader in his new community as engineer, business man, and trusted counselor on civic and church affairs. He was Junior Warden of the Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, a founder and vice president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association, a member and past master of the Masonic Lodge. Above all he was a devoted friend and family man. We of '99, and '00 too, can never forget his hearty, lovable, indomitable personality.

Final rites were held at the Episcopal Church, followed by ritualistic services at Crystal Lake Cemetery by the Masonic Lodge.

John's wife and chief cooperator died in 1950, but six children survive: Homer M.; Ruth (Mrs. Albert E.) Genther; Mabel (Mrs. George J.) Simmons; Alice (Mrs. Roy V.) Smith; John W. Jr.; and Martha (Mrs. Keith W.) Mathews. Also fourteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren survive.

He lived at 204 Brookside Road, Darien.

Bob came to Dartmouth from Worcester Academy and quickly established himself on the campus and in the town as a man to whom friendships came naturally and in constantly increasing numbers and warmth. This trait and a quiet, forceful quality of service and leadership characterized his campus life and the succeeding years. While at Dartmouth, in 1911, Bob wrote the music for the famous song "Dartmouth's in Town Again." The 50th anniversary of this song was celebrated in special performances by the Dartmouth Band at both the Harvard and the Yale games last October. Bob was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Bob's devotion to Dartmouth was more than traditional — it was compelling. And this same devotion ran through his attitude toward his family, his community, his church, and a wide circle of friends and associates.

In lieu of flowers donations were made for the new chapel at Cardigan Mountain School, Canaan, N. H., or to the Heart Association, Glenbrook, Conn.

When we first assembled as a class, and the natural and gradual sorting and sifting took place, we realized that in our group was a man who, as much as any man among us, had "a genius for friendship."

That man was EDWIN PAGE JUNKINS. With increasing affection and respect we called him "Junk."

He was born in Quincy, Mass., the son of Sydney Junkins, Dartmouth 1887, and died of cancer in Detroit January 17, after a long and painful illness. His residence was the Highland Towers, 11 McLean Ave., Highland Park, Detroit.

On the campus, among the faculty, the administration and the town his qualities were recognized with honors and associations that many might envy and few attain. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, Palaeopitus, and Casque and Gauntlet, and the respected associate of students, a few chosen faculty members, and shopkeepers and workers all over Hanover.

Upon graduation "Junk" began his long and successful career in public utilities and engineering, interrupted by his service as lieutenant of infantry in World War I. On retirement in 1956 he was Engineer of the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company of Detroit, a position he had held since 1938.

"Junk" married Edna Jeanette Trier, a sister of Paul Trier '17, in one of those perfect unions of "love, hope and sweet companionship." Edna died in 1958 leaving no children.

"Junk" is buried in the Hanover he loved so well where he will long be remembered as a quiet man, a sincere man, a happy companion, a friend of generous and unswerving warmth and devotion.

Chick, as we all knew him, was born April 12, 1901 in Framingham, Mass. He came to Dartmouth from Lower Merion High School, Ardmore, Pa.

He was a friendly, popular classmate and a distinguished student at Hanover. An excellent scholar in many subjects, he won special honors in mathematics and physics. He was a member of Epsilon Kappa Phi and Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation from the College, he received his engineering degree in 1923 from Thayer School.

He subsequently settled in Marshfield where he conducted his business and took an active part in the community. His love of flowers gave him great pride and pleasure in his business as a wholesale florist. He was a director of the Massachusetts Flower Growers Association, a member of the American Society of Florists, and of the First Congregational Church. At his death the flags of his community were flown at half-mast.

Chick and Elizabeth Sherman were married in October 1930 at Andover, Mass. They adopted four children, three of them being within four months of the same age.

He is survived by his wife Betty, two sons, Anthony of Los Angeles, Daniel of Marshfield, and two daughters, Mrs. William Davis and Mary, both of Marshfield.

With Betty and the family, the Class and Chick's many friends join in deep bereavement at the loss of a fine man and a loyal Dartmouth alumnus.

HAROLD HOLMES JENSEN JR. of 29 Crescent Rd., Longmeadow, Mass., died December 14. Born in Springfield, Mass., on September 5, 1916, Red prepared at Mt. Hermon for Dartmouth, and while in college was a member of the Glee Club and Delta Kappa Epsilon, and played football and lacrosse.

Red at an early age established his reputation as a typical red-blooded American. His strength and fortitude were put to several tests in the years to come. One event in particular was during World War II, when as the skipper of an LCI, unhesitatingly he rescued two helpless soldiers from the wreckage filled waters off the Anzio Nettuno beachhead. He was awarded the Navy and Marine medal for this heroism.

Postwar years saw Red a member of the candy company operated by his family; married to Rosamond Taylor, sister of H. Scott '39; father of three sons and an active civic leader in Springfield. Then, in October 1952, came the greatest test. Red was stricken by polio and so totally incapacitated by the disease that he spent twenty months at the Mary MacArthur Respiratory Center in Wellesley. The Dartmouth Club of Springfield honored Red the following year with the President's Award for outstanding service.

Most of the time he could not breathe without a respirator and could not move without special equipment. Aided by his good wife, Rozzie, his sons, Harold II, Peter and Scott, he built and conducted a successful gift, novelty and Christmas card business from his wheelchair at home. He turned down many gratuities, and grew almost to the point of full anger when people offered to pay for things which he thought his own obligations. Red probably never realized what he did for many men and women, regardless of whether they were his personal friends or not. The mere fact that he shouldered what was an almost impossible burden gave everyone a greater feeling of humbleness. After spending some time with Red, you marveled at his ability to cope with so many problems so easily. You were always impressed with the same boyish smile and fortitude that had been so much a part of his younger life. His ability to live under these conditions for ten years has without any question made many of us more thoughtful of life. This in itself is a lasting monument to Red.

To Rozzie and the boys goes our deep sympathy. We Thirty-niners consider our selves quite fortunate to have known Red He will remain a great inspiration to all of us.

Besides his wife and three sons he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Rosamond T. Jensen, and two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Curtis and Mrs. Louis Todd.

Memorial donations may be made to the National Foundation in care of Thomas Ashe of 2585 Boston Rd., North Wilbraham, Mass.
