1908

Edward and Eleanor Bartlett spent the month of June in a long trip to Michigan where they attended the 50th wedding anniversary of Eleanor's sister and her husband. On the return they paid a visit to their daughter Diantha, Mrs. Garland R. Brown, in Ann Arbor and attended a wedding in Syracuse, N. Y., and a family gathering of Edward's relatives.

Paul Batchelder sent a card from Newport News on July 26 reporting that he was recuperating at the home of a niece from the broken hip bone which kept him away from the reunion. He expected to return to his home in Texas on August 2.

The notice of the passing of Henry W. Lyon on May 30 came too late to permit of checking with Mrs. Lyon before meeting the deadline for notes for the July ALUMNI MAGAZINE and there were several inaccuracies. The cause of Harry's death was bone cancer and the fall down the cellar stairs had occurred two or three years before. He had been in the Veterans' Hospital in Togus, Me., since January 6. Several news items mentioned Lafayette College but Mrs. Lyon states that he went directly to sea in sailing ships after leaving Dartmouth. He was a son of Rear Admiral Henry Lyon from whom he apparently inherited his love for the sea. For many years he was a deputy sheriff of Oxford County and most interested in law enforcement. He was active in all civic affairs in his home town, a member of the Water Commission, former fire chief and on the Selective Service Board.

Many friends and neighbors, including '08 classmates, are donating for a memorial which is to be a good tall flagpole on the common in the village.

Dick Merrill wrote to Art Soule of an interesting four-day trip to the high desert country but reported that he has been having an uncomfortable time with four broken ribs from which he is slowly recovering.

Dana Parkinson reported that he and Lucy were expecting to make a trip to Scandinavia this summer. He also wrote that he has a grandson entering Dartmouth in September. This will be the fifth generation of a loyal Dartmouth family.

Fred Munkelt also reports a grandson, Frederick W. Geissinger, of Dearborn, Mich., entering this term.

Larry and Dorothy Symmes spent most of August in their usual trip abroad and expected to return soon after Labor Day.
