1897

JAY DAY BROWN passed away on August 3, in Birmingham, Ala., where he had been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Frederick Benington, at 1816 Valgreen Lane.

Jay prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy and, after graduation, was connected with the sales department of Denoyer-Geppert, Company, makers of school maps. At the time of his retirement he was president of J. D. Brown Company of Syracuse, distributor of school furniture and equipment.

Besides his daughter he is survived by two grandchildren.

1900

It is always with deep regret that one reports the death of a classmate. BILL EDWARDS passed away, after a long illness, on July 17 at his home in Wyoming. In February he suffered a stroke and, in spite of high hopes held out at that time, he never recovered from its effects. Funeral services were held in the Zion Lutheran Church of Emblem, and burial was in Emblem Cemetery.

WILLIAM BENJAMIN EDWARDS was born in Everett, Mass., on October 13, 1878. He was a graduate of the Everett High School, and entered Dartmouth as a special student in the fall of 1897. During the three succeeding years he was enrolled in the class of 1901, but he took so many courses with 1900 that he chose to be a member of our class. During his last year at Dartmouth he was a second year student at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration.

After several years of business experience in the East, Bill went to Wyoming in 1908 where he was associated with the Big Horn Development Co. then engaged in drilling for oil near Cody. In 1911 he severed his connection with this company to take up a section of land in Emblem. In December 1922 he married Alice DeKoster Watson of Fort Collins, Col. One of Bill's lifelong interests was in irrigation, and he was active in promoting canal construction to bring water to the parched land of Wyoming. He was ever a good neighbor and was active in many community affairs.

Because of his responsibilities as a rancher and his remoteness from Hanover it has been impossible for him to attend our reunions. Bill, especially in these latter years, was a faithful correspondent and through his letters we have learned much about his vital interests, his faith, his broad and intelligent thought on national problems, and his deep affection for 1900 and Dartmouth. He had a host of friends in Emblem and in the surrounding communities many of whom came in and helped to brighten the days of his long illness.

He is survived by his widow, one son, William B. Edwards Jr. of Emblem, a sister, Mrs. Henrietta Koeller of Quincy, Mass., and five grandchildren.

1901

ERNEST JUSTUS EDDY of 2799 Albany Ave., West Hartford, retired president of the former Capitol National Bank and Trust Co. of Hartford, died on August 27 at the Hartford Hospital. He was born November 13, 1878, in Worcester, Mass., and received his early education there. After graduation from Dartmouth he began his banking career in Worcester. In 1907, he helped organize, and became treasurer of the Fidelity Trust Co. of Portland, Me. He was president of the Maine Bankers Association in 1916-1917.

Mr. Eddy came to Hartford in 1917 as the local correspondent of Kidder, Peabody Co. In 1927, he helped to organize the Capitol National Bank and Trust Co. of Hartford and became one of the original directors. He served as president of the bank from 1932 until its merger with the Phoenix State Bank and Trust Co. in 1949. He then retired from business life.

Funeral services were held August 30, the Rev. William Sale Terrell, D.D. officiating. He leaves several nieces and nephews.

1902

Oct. 9, 1878 to Sept. 10, 1963. Nearly 85 years. That was the life span of KARL STARKEY BRACKETT, one of the gentlest, most lovable men of the Class. He wasborn in Brockton, Mass., and died in Duxbury at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Douglas Pease, after an illness of several years. He prepared for Dartmouth at Haverhill High School, and after graduation, married Gertrude Harding, Oct. 3, 1904. She survives him, at Island Creek, Mass., after a happy married life of more than 58 years.

Never aggressive in college, Karl endeared himself to his classmates. Always respected, he did not really come to his own until many years later, when he and his wife established a bookstore in Belmont in 1934. Then they both became famous, among book lovers of the wider Boston area, as the "Payson Hall Book Shop" which was known as the place to go for friendly understanding service. Their daughter Dorothy joined them as manager of the book shop and they themselves finally retired from active participation in the business in 1956. They settled in an old Cape-style house in Thornton, N. H., with a lovely view of the mountains. A letter of a few years back exclaims, "As we gaze on the mountains and the sunsets, we feel that God does not want man to destroy such beauty." That was Gertrude and Karl, and still is, as we remember our classmate and friend.

1904

FRED BROCKWAY FREEMAN, 83, passed away at his home, 1321 S. Genesee Drive, Lansing, Mich., March 14, 1963. Born in Claremont, N.H„ July 13, 1879, he prepared for college at his local high school and entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1904. Because of the death of his mother, Fred was obliged to leave college after two years, and was employed by the Post Office in Claremont until 1911, when he entered YMCA work. On November 17, 1917 he was sent overseas to Brest, France, where he had charge of the area and later transferred to Paris. Upon returning to New York, he was made General Field Secretary covering the United States. He continued in that work until 1945 when he retired from the YMCA.

He moved to Michigan, was associated as public relations representative for Hillsdale (Mich.) College. Fred was offered the presidency of the college but declined. He served the college many years as a trustee and was awarded a Doctor's degree. During the last fifteen years Fred acted as field representa- tive for the Baptist Church in Michigan.

In 1906 Fred married Miss Bertha Spaulding. They had two daughters. Mrs. Freeman passed away in 1957 and in 1959 he married Miss Mary Lewis Stewart. He is survived by his wife, his two daughters, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. While not a graduate of 1904, Fred's loyalty to 1904 and Dartmouth never wavered. A devoted Christian servant has gone to his long rest - may he rest in peace.

WALTER HERMANN GOLDE died at his home in Chapel Hill, N. C., September 4, 1963. He was stricken in May but was able to be about as usual, after three days. His death came suddenly. He gave some lessons the day before. A Memorial Service was held in the Eirst Presbyterian Church of Rocky Mount, N. C. A Memorial Concert will be given in November at the University of North Carolina and a Memorial Scholarship in Music is being established there.

Walter was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., January 4, 1887. His mother died when Walter was six years old and his father sent him to Dresden, Germany, where he began his schooling. He returned to Brooklyn and was graduated, second in his class, at Boys' High School. Walter's father was a well known sculptor. He believed that his children should be given the advantages of an artistic and cultural atmosphere. As a result, Walter heard and learned classical music at an early age. His success as composer of the score for the "King of U-Kan" operetta, our Junior Prom highlight, prompted Walter's father who was present in Hanover when the operetta was staged, to send him for study, to the Austrian Imperial Conservatory, Vienna. He majored in voice, piano and composition. He turned out the best Fugue in his class and passed the difficult final examination in double counterpoint, without a mistake. By the time he returned to this country, he had gained experience which, with his large repertoire, enabled him to become affiliated with many famous instrumentalists, including Pablo Casals, Felix Salmonds, Mischa Elman, Jacques Thibaud and Albert Spaulding. He accompanied Lionel Tertis, Elizabeth Rethberg and Lauritz Melchior for their debuts in Carnegie Hall. Others with whom he worked were Elena Gerhardt, Maria Jeritza, Maggie Teyte, Mary Garden, Helen Traubel, Gladys Swarthout, Nelson Eddy, and Richard Bonelli. Walter composed both songs and music for the piano and his works have been sung by many of these artists, including the late Leonard Warren. He conducted opera performances for the De Feo Grand Opera Company and others. From 1944-1948 he was head of the Voice Department at Columbia University. He served as president of the New York Singing Teachers Association.

He was frequently engaged to lecture on tone production, on interpretation and style on the German Lied and modern song. He trained several of the leading singers of the Metropolitan Opera Company and the New York City Center Opera.

In 1953, at the invitation of Norman Cardon, bass of the Metropolitan and a former student of Walter's, he went to Chapel Hill to head the Institute of Opera at the University of North Carolina. In the latter years he devoted his energy to teaching privately and had students from several neighboring states. He had returned to New York for concerts within the past two years.

He was a charter member of the American Guild of Musical Artists, the National Association of Teachers of Music, the American Association of Composers, Authors and Publishers, Song Writers of America and National Association of Authors, Composers and Conductors.

Walter's first wife died in 1950. Survivors are his second wife, Lilian Barth Golde, whom he married in 1953, his daughter, Mrs. John Landreth of Chevy Chase, Md., his sister, Mrs. Gordon Bryant of New York, his brother, Fred Golde of St. Petersburg, Fla., and two grandchildren.

Jack Richmond was born August 13, 1887. He attended high school in Windsor and finished his college preparation at Phillips Exeter Academy. In his freshman year at Dartmouth he was elected secretary of his class. He was a member of the football and track teams.

In 1911 he entered the employ of the Columbia Trust Company in New York. When this company was merged with the Irving Trust Company, he served in the Auditing Department. In 1920 he was elected treasurer; in 1926, assistant vice-president; 1930, vice-president; and in 1934 he was elected a director. He interrupted his banking career to serve the United States Treasury as Senior Deputy Administrator of the War Finance Division of New York State. Ill health forced his retirement in 1951.

Jack found time to continue his athletic work at the New York Athletic Club where he was a member of the mile relay team which set a world record in 1912. This record stood for about fifteen years. In 1912 he set an indoor record of 50 1/5 sec. in the quarter mile. Jack was selected to be a member of the United States team to compete in the 1100 meters event in the 1912 Olympics. For business reasons he was forced to withdraw just before the team sailed.

Jack was married August 7, 1914 to Adele Aerati in New York City. She died in 1959. One son Deane was killed in Metz while serving as lieutenant with Patton's 3rd Army. Another son, Kimball Russ Richmond. was also lost during World War II.

Other survivors are his brother, Howard, of New Port Richey, Fla., six nephews and nieces and twelve grandchildren.

JULIUS ERNEST WARREN passed away suddenly, August 31, 1963, at his home in Harwich Port, Mass. The funeral was private. A memorial service was conducted September 4 in the Harwich Port Community Room. Julius was born in Leicester, Mass., July 6, 1888. He prepared for college at Barre (Mass.) and Huntington (Mass.) High Schools. After graduation he spent two years with the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. In 1912 he began his work in the field of education. His career included teaching, superintendency, State Education Commissioner (Massachusetts) and Consultant to the National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools. He received the Master of Arts degree from Columbia, Doctor of Edu- cation and Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees from Northeastern University.

In his activities as teacher and superintendent of schools, he was located at Rutland, Mass., Mohegan Lake, Schenectady and Gloversville, N. Y., Brockton, Spring-field, and Newton, Mass., Brattleboro, Vt., and Lakewood, Ohio. At the time of his retirement in '56 he was Superintendent of Schools in University City, Mo., and Professor of Education, Washington University, St. Louis. He served several summers as Instructor in the Harvard Business School and in '56-'57 was Coordinator of International Education in the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

The obituary in the Boston Herald recalled an incident of Julius' tenure as Massachusetts Commissioner of Education:

"In 1945 two Massachusetts legislators instigated an attempt to oust him as commissioner on the grounds that he presided at a 'Know Russia' conference at Boston University. Normally a softspoken man, he replied vehemently:

" 'If we, the American people, are concerned with the present and future security of the world, it is high time that the teachers of this country be given an opportunity to learn the facts and be able to distinguish them from propaganda.

His ability to make rapid-fire calculations without recourse to adding machines or interest tables is the envy of all who knew him and established him as a genius."

Everett is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ruth Chase Munsey, who resides on Shore Drive, and two sons, Everett Jr. of Newark, Calif., and George Park II of Kodiak, Alaska, as well as nine grandchildren.

1931

CHARLES WALTER HOWARD did not continue throughout Dartmouth with our class. It was with regret that we received the announcement of his death and that of his wife, the result of a one-car crash in Maine, August 27.

Charlie was from Amherst, N. H., and the Milford, N. H., weekly paper, "Cabinet," is the source of this information. He graduated from Amherst High School in 1927 and entered Dartmouth in the fall of that year. He lived in Connecticut for the last thirty years, most recently at 3 Doran Ct., Greenwich.

Charlie's daughter, Barbara, was seriously injured in the accident. The newspaper article reports that she is improving, and we sincerely hope that she is well on the road to complete recovery at this time.

To Barbara, her sister, Elsie and her brothers, Charles and Robert, the class extends its sincere sympathy.

Word has been received of the death on September 15 of WESTON HUNTOON BROCKWAY. "Brock" was a Penacook, N. H., boy during school days, but as recorded in our 25 Year Book "he taught high school math and music from coast to coast" after graduation. He was a member of Kappa Phi Kappa and music was his major department.

Brock's most recent address was 2367 Fairmont Boulevard, Eugene, Ore. To his wife Jacqueline and two children the Class extends its sincere sympathy.

After the war he returned to the "Lowell Sun" for a brief period and then joined the reportorial staff of the "Eagle-Tribune." He left the newspaper field in October 1954.

During his college career and since then Jack was always an extremely popular figure with "Men of Dartmouth." After his college years his generosity and unselfishness highlighted his participation in civic and community affairs. It was said of him that there was hardly a worthwhile endeavor carried on in his community without the energetic participation of Jack McKallagat. He was a warm and friendly man. Everybody enjoyed his company. He will be sorely missed, and our sympathy goes out to his wife and partner, Janet, and his charming family.

1945

MAJOR JOSEPH RICE BYRON, United States Air Force, died December 19, 1962, at Saint Albans Naval Hospital, New York. Joe had been ill since January 1962 with acute leukemia. At that time he was stationed at the U.S.A.F. Academy in Colorado where he was an Assistant Professor of Economics and Geography.

Although Joe left school in 1942 to join the Air Force and did not graduate from Dartmouth, he remained a loyal Dartmouth man and an active participant in Dartmouth affairs. His quiet enthusiasm was contagious and his deep humility allowed him to rise to whatever the occasion. When he was transferred from Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire to the faculty of the new Air Force Academy he wrote that he was surprised. Surprised he might have been, but Joe could reach within himself for the resources necessary for academic excellence and we have no doubt but that he was a fine teacher.

Surviving him are his wife, Elizabeth, and two children of 6 Crescent Place, Allendale, N. J.

On September 28, in Portland, Me., DR. CHARLES HESTON PATTON JR., a graduate of the Pennington School, Dartmouth, and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, passed away. Charlie interned at Philadelphia General Hospital, the Children's Hospital in Boston, and received further training at the University of lowa Medical School. He moved to Brunswick in 1956 and became chief of pediatrics at Regional Memorial Hospital and Parkview Memorial Hospital and served on the staff of the Maine Medical Center in Portland.

Surviving him are his widow, Jean; three sons, Christopher, Robert, and Sam; his daughter, Tracy; his parents; and his brother Richard W.'51 of Pittsburgh.

This tribute by one who knew him well appeared in the Brunswick Record: "Let us acknowledge his contribution to this life and his community. To say we regret his passing seems trite, and yet, what more can be said. We have lost a friend, counselor, physician, companion, colleague, husband, father, and genuinely fine person who lived his life the best he knew how. His memory will be cherished in many hearts."

1948

On August 27 DON YSIDRO MIGUEL PENDAS passed away in his home at 350 Ist Ave., New York City, after waging a fight of approximately a year against lung cancer. Don was active in his position as professional program manager for Chas. Pfizer & Co. until the very end. In this position he had been doing a very good job in setting up community immunization programs throughout the country on a county-wide basis. He was also in charge of all medical education programs for the company where he had worked almost his entire business life.

Don was a native of Rockaway, N. Y., and came to Dartmouth in the summer of 1944 with that small group of civilians which formed the nucleus of the class of 1948. He had prepared at St. Paul's School in Garden City, N. Y. While in college Don was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and became very interested in Psychology, his major area of study. His friends will remember Don as a large, friendly, but serious-minded person who enjoyed nothing better than an extended discussion on one of the more controversial psychological or moral issues of the day.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to Don's widow, Phyllis Ann, his two sons Stephen and Anthony, and his mother and sister. Burial took place in Martha's Vineyard where Don spent his summer vacations and for which he had a deep affection.
