1899

LEON ALONZO MARTIN was born in White River Junction, Vt., Nov. 28, 1877. He died June 25, 1966 in Portland, Me. He prepared for Dartmouth at Hartford (Vt.) High School. On June 29, 1912 "Fod" married Eleanor Edith Dutton. She died in 1958 after months in Howard Nursing Home. Fod's last years were spent happily in South Portland with a nephew.

Most of Martin's life was spent teaching. His greatest inspiration, he always said, was the personality of "Prexy" Tucker. Fod served for short terms successively as high school principal in Norwich, Vt., Franconia, N. H., and Harwich, Mass. Seven years as superintendent in Glastonbury, Conn, came after five years there as high school principal. During 1917-19 he was a YMCA secretary in France. Finally, seven years as principal of the Scituate (Mass.) High School; then seventeen years as principal of the Good Will High School, Hinckley, Maine, founded by Rev. G. W. Hinckley for underprivileged children. Each cottage became a home for a few girls or boys in charge of a "mother." Every student had regular study hours, nourishing meals, and regular hours of sleep, recreation, and supervised work in the buildings or on the farm. During World War II only four of hundreds thus trained were rejected as physically unfit for the armed services. And without benefit of college, a high percentage became officers.

Both Leon and Eleanor resigned in 1945 because of ill health. Eleanor's faithful comradeship in the Good Will School was in addition to her talent for writing poetry. She helped found the National League of American Pen Women.

The final service for Fod, like that for Eleanor eight years earlier, was simple and brief. Now these two idealists rest side by side in the cemetery in Unity, Maine. A sincere, simple-hearted, earnest Christian couple.

HERBERT SPENCER ROGERS was bom April 29, 1877, in Tilton, N. H. He died in his sleep July 30, 1966, in Springfield, Mass., where he had resided since the death of his wife, Laura McCabe Rogers, in 1961. They were married June 15, 1904. In June 1954, at Hanover, they celebrated both their Golden Wedding and the 55th reunion of '99. They spent most of their married life in Newtonville and Rockport, active with their family both in community and church.

Herbert prepared for Dartmouth at Tilton School, where he played on Tilton's first football team in 1893. His favorite sport, however, was prowling through northern New England with rod and reel.

After Dartmouth he taught several years at West Texas Military Academy, San Antonio, and at Holderness School in New Hampshire. The rest of his life, however, was with the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, acting successively as collector, adjuster, supervisor and commercial representative until his retirement in 1942. He was notable for his fidelity and tact, both in business and social relationships. He belonged to Dalhousie Lodge of Masons in Newtonville, receiving both Life-Member, and Fifty-Year medals. He belonged also to Phi Delta Theta at Dartmouth and to the Telephone Pioneers of America.

Two daughters and three grandchildren survive. The family funeral service was held in West Springfield. The Rev. Charles King also conducted a short graveside service at Belmont Cemetery.

1901

HARRY BASSETT GILMORE, former secretary of Western Electric Company, died August 21, 1966, at his home, 225 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, Conn. He was born August 5, 1878.

The news of his death came as a shock to six of his classmates, with whom he had celebrated our 65th Class Reunion, June 10, in Hanover. At reunion he was elected class treasurer.

Harry had prepared for Dartmouth at Haverhill (Mass.) High School. His college fraternity was Psi Upsilon, his senior society Casque and Gauntlet.

He joined Western Electric as a stock clerk in New York, a year after graduation from Dartmouth; in 1921 he was placed in charge of all Western Electric telephone and commercial business in New England; four years later he became secretary of the company. He retired from Western Electric in 1943, after 41 years of service.

Harry had been vice president, treasurer and director of the American Management Association and had also served on the Manufacturing Committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce.

While Gillie was class agent he led the class agents in percentage of participation, and he was one of the founders of the Dartmouth Club of New York City.

On September 23, 1906 he married Grace Hylan of Lowell, Mass. She died several years ago. He is survived by a son Harry Jr. '34 of Manchester, N. H., a daughter and a grandson, to whom the Class extends deepest sympathy.

HENRY LEFOREST TAYLOR, of Haverhill, Mass., died at his summer home, North Stone Road, Swampscott, Mass., on June 28, after a long illness.

Services were private, interment at Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain, Boston.

Henry was born in Haverhill on May 14, 1878 and prepared for Dartmouth at Haverhill High School. His college fraternity was Psi Upsilon and his senior society was Casque and Gauntlet.

After graduation Henry became interested in realty and as a real estate broker in Haverhill successfully pursued this profession until his retirement. He was on the board of directors of the Merrimac National Bank and also a director of the Beacon Blanket Company.

Henry is survived by two daughters, Mrs. William T. Carpenter and Mrs. Paul Carver.

1902

HENRY CARROLL TRACY died February 1, 1966, in Memphis, Tenn.

"Doc" Tracy was born in Strafford, Vt., June 11, 1879, and entered Dartmouth from the high school in Hartland, Vt. While not given to college activities, he was known on the campus as a quiet, studious individual with a friendly smile, a heavy mop of hair, and the slight stoop of a scholar. He was well liked, but had few intimate friends. It is doubtful that even they would have anticipated that he was to become on the campus of a mid-Western university the most popular teacher just as did his classmate, Leland Griggs, here at Dartmouth. His professorial career is recorded in successive volumes of the publication, American Men ofScience, but he lives in the enthusiastic esteem of many generations of students.

He graduated from Dartmouth with an A.B. degree, and carried with him a love of the classics that lasted through his whole life. Widely read, he constantly used allusions to literature and mythology which one would not expect from a man whose main interest was neural anatomy. He took his postgraduate work at Brown University (A.M. and Ph.D.) and was at various times on the faculties of the medical schools connected with Northwestern, Marquette, Kansas, and Mississippi, and was retired from the latter two universities with the rank of Professor Emeritus. He lectured at many institutions, among them at the Menninger Psychiatric Institute in Kansas City. But it is as an inspiring classroom teacher that he is best remembered. He himself has written that for him the highlight of his career was a testimonial received from his students when he retired after thirty years of teaching at Kansas University. He was a man of strong convictions, widely read, and a keen observer of the modern scene. It is small wonder that the reading room of the library at the Medical School at the University of Kansas bears his name.

He was married to Miss Edith Chapman of Milwaukee in 1914. She died in 1942. They had one son, Chapman Darrow Tracy, who died of tuberculosis a few years after his mother's death. Henry subsequently married Miss Johnette Bradley of Wellington, Kansas, who survives him. We extend to her the heartfelt sympathy of her husband's class at Dartmouth.

No finer eulogy can be spoken of Henry Tracy, than to say that, though his work carried him far from New Hampshire, yet he was a worthy follower of the great teachers of "Doctor Tucker's Dartmouth." The world is the better for his having lived in it.

1903

PHILIP WILLIAM THOMAS died July 14 at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he had been landscape architect and founder of the Thomas Nursery. He located in Tulsa in 1920 from Kansas City, Missouri, and previously was Superintendent of Parks in Memphis, Tenn.

Phil was born August 27, 1877 in Neath, Pa. He entered Dartmouth from Susquehanna Collegiate Institute and graduated with the Class of 1903. He is survived by his widow, who resides at 4809 S. Peoria; a daughter, a sister and three grandchildren.

We can think of no worthier tribute than that contained in a letter from Jack Ferguson '15 of Tulsa, notifying me of Phil's passing:

"I enclose obituary notice of the departure of your classmate and the good friend of all the Dartmouth men in this part of the world, Phil Thomas. He was for many years the master gardener of this part of Oklahoma and practically all the shrubs and trees were provided and planted by Phil as Tulsa extended its growth widely during the years. Tulsa has been made beautiful by Phil's constant attention and firm guiding hand in the planting of fine trees and shrubs to enrich the appearance of the fine Tulsa homes."

Philip was a good Dartmouth man and a loyal 1903 classmate. He will be missed by his College and the Class. We extend our sincerest sympathy to his family.

DANA BRYDEN WHIPPLE of Auburndale, Mass., died August 5, 1966. He was born Nov. 10, 1880. He entered Dartmouth from Lowell, Mass., and while at College was a member of K.K.K. fraternity. Dana is survived by two brothers, Herbert F. of South Acton and Sidney B., '10 of Heidelberg, Germany. Dana belonged to Isaac Parker Lodge, A.F. & A.M.

For many years until retirement Dana was a pharmacist and president of E. E. Butman Company in Waltham, Mass. In his earlier years after graduation he was an active member of his class. He has been ailing for some time. The class will mourn his going.

1904

RALPH EMERSON SEXTON died on July 21 after an illness of more than two years, following a series of strokes which began on the first day of the sixtieth reunion of his class. This attack appeared to be a slight one and he firmly insisted on being taken to Hanover although his physician advised against it. His devotion to his class and Dartmouth College was dominant to the end.

Through his college course and ever since graduation, he was one of the most active in class affairs. He was a member of the executive committee and for two terms he served most effectively as Alumni Fund agent.

Ralph was born in Nashua, N. H., on August 14, 1882, and was graduated from the Nashua High School along with Alex Maynard, Alfred Hastings and Albert Terrien. In 1917 he married Mary Field, also from Nashua and a graduate of Wellesley. They had two sons, John F., now in business in Boston, and Dr. Richard P. '41 of Barrington, R. I. The Sextons were longtime residents of Winchester, Mass. Two or three years ago they moved to Woburn where their address was 48 Lake Ave., Brandeis 5, where Mary still lives.

Following graduation Ralph spent several years in the grain business in Boston. Then after two years with the Nashua Gummed and Coated Paper Co. he became a paper broker. Among his accounts was a New York importer who introduced Cellophane into this country from France and Belgium, and seeing the great possibility for Cellophane here, Ralph in 1929 established connections with a company, now part of the American Viscose Corporation, that manufactured Cellophane in Fredericksburg, Va. He maintained an office for them in Boston until his retirement in 1954.

There were in the class of 1904 many men who were respected and loved by their classmates, but none more than Ralph Sexton. His capacity for friendship was extraordinary and his kindnesses to others and unselfish relationships resulted in many friends and unusual popularity. In college he was a member of D.K.E., Turtle, and Casque and Gauntlet.

His reverence for this virtue was revealed in the biographical sketch, which each member of the class was asked to prepare for the 50th anniversary report. With habitual modesty Ralph devoted less than a third of the sketch to his own record. He wrote: "I could write a lot about many of our classmates but I am choosing to say a few words about one member whose life, to my mind, exemplifies to the nth degree the meaning of true friendship. I refer to Peacham Blanchard."

He ended by saying: "When Peacham appears before the Pearly Gates and St. Peter starts checking up on the good deeds that each of the applicants for admission had done during his lifetime, no matter how many are there he is going to say, 'Phillip Staples Blanchard, please go to the head of the line.' "

If the eschatological concept of St. Peter as immigration inspector at the Pearly Gates holds true, we are sure that he said not long ago, "Ralph Sexton, come right in. On your record there is no blemish, - only good deeds. You have been a fine citizen, a model husband, a good father, and a wonderful friend to many. One of our best places is reserved for you, right next to Phillip Blanchard."

1905

HALSEY BEACH LODER died at a nursing home in Newton, Mass., June 21 after a long illness, at the age of 82. He entered Dartmouth from Williston Academy after three years at Hyde Park (Mass.) High School.

Halsey was highly esteemed by his classmates and others at Dartmouth for his friendly, courteous manner. He served as associate editor of The Dartmouth and in his junior year was assistant business manager of the Aegis. His class work at college brought him membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

"Doc" Loder was graduated from the Dartmouth Medical School in 1908 and continued in Hanover for a year as an intern at Mary Hitchcock Hospital. In pursuit of his chosen career as a surgeon, he had a year as surgical intern in Boston City Hospital and started his practice in Boston in 1911.

A conscientious and highly skilled surgeon, Halsey served Greater Boston for 50 years until failing strength brought him to retirement in 1959. He had been a member of the surgical staff of Boston City Hospital, New England Baptist, Deaconess and Brooks Hospitals, and others in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He was well known, too, as lecturer and instructor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Dental School.

The esteem in which Halsey was held is evidenced by the outstanding medical-surgical organizations and clubs to which he belonged.

Of especial note are Halsey's activities as a two-fold alumnus: Member of the National Committee for the Dartmouth Medical School Campaign in 1960; past president of the Medical Alumni Association; past president of the Boston Alumni Association.

"Doc's" hobby was yachting. For 25 years he sailed the waters of the North Atlantic from Nova Scotia to Chesapeake Bay.

In 1910 Halsey married Beatrice Byers of Indianapolis, who died in 1948. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. William P. Elwell of Wellesley Hills and Mrs. Louville Niles of Hingham; also a sister, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

1907

DON JASON WILLIAMS of 28 Court St., Keene, N. H., died in the Elliott Community Hospital on August 20 after a long period of failing health. Born in Keene on November 8, 1884 he prepared for college at the local high school. Don left college at the end of sophomore year but has been very loyal to Dartmouth. While in college he was a member of the class basketball team and varsity squad.

From 1906 to 1913 he was with the Public Service Co. He then joined the Keene EveningSentinel as a reporter, where he remained until March 1, 1955 when he retired after 42 years of service. Don was also Clerk of the Keene Municipal Court for over 50 years and a former Deputy Sheriff for Cheshire County, as well as truant officer and bail commissioner. He was a Mason for over 60 years.

His wife, Rev. Grace Carpenter Williams, whom he married April 11, 1906, died five years ago. In addition to his two daughters, survivors include seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the Fletcher Funeral Home on August 23 and burial was in the Woodland Cemetery. There was a very large attendance of state, county, town officials, and friends and relations. The Class was represented by Allan Brown, Harriet Ahern, widow of William J. Robert, and Lura Kenyon and George and Ethel Grebenstein.

The sympathy of the Class is extended to his bereaved family who will miss him greatly.

1908

HAROLD HANSON SNOW, of Braintree, Mass., and Holly Hill in Marshfield, passed away on July 15 at his Braintree home from a cerebral hemorrhage. Burial was in the family lot at Pine Hill Cemetery in Dover.

Harold was born January 9, 1885, in Dover, N. H., and prepared for Dartmouth at Phillips Exeter Academy. He was with us for two years. In college he played center on the class football teams and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi.

After leaving college in 1906, Hal started as a traveling salesman for Decatur and Hopkins of Boston, one of New England's oldest hardware merchants; rose to be head salesman in 1916, and had been on the board of directors over 25 years at his retirement in 1949. At that time he was also secretary and assistant treasurer.

He had been a member of the New England Hardware Associates since its incorporation in 1914, was a past president and on the advisory board. He had been a member of the South Shore Commandery for nearly 50 years and a member of All Souls Church in Braintree for nearly 55 years.

He was a member of the Horticultural Society of Massachusetts and since 1945 had a hobby of raising vegetables and flowers on his "farm" in Marshfield. He and Abigail lived there in the summer but spent the winter months in the same home at 16 Cleveland Avenue in Braintree in which they started housekeeping in 1910.

Harold married Abigail A. Perley of Enfield, N. H. on November 24, 1910. They had two boys: John Perley, a farmer in Marshfield; and Samuel Hanson '40, and three grandsons.

1909

MAURICE READEY, following months of hospitalization, passed away in the Veterans Hospital at East Orange, N. J., on July 4, 1966.

Mike was born in Manchester, N. H., on July 8, 1887 and entered Dartmouth from that city's high school. In college he was a member of the track team, Phi Gamma Delta, Dragon, and Palaeopitus. He received his C.E. degree from Thayer School in 1911. He was a member of the executive committee of the Class of 1909.

Mike started his engineering career with the Missouri-Pacific Railroad and the Gilmore & Pittsburg Railroad in Armstead, Mont. After graduation from Thayer School he went to New York City with the Hastings Pavement Co. and the engineering firm of Hazen & Whipple. In 1912 he found the business that was to claim him for the remainder of his business career when he joined the Simmons Pipe Bending Co. as an estimator and seller. He then went with Ballwood Co. Taking a leave of absence from them, he served as a Ist Lieutenant in the 307 th Engineers, 82nd Division, A.E.F. from 1917-1919. In 1925, he joined the E. F. Keating Pipe Bending Co. of New York City, became vice president in 1945 and retired in 1960.

On October 5, 1921, he was married to Gertrude E. Linott at Newark, N. J. Two children were born to them; Maurice Jr. '46 and Jane Marie. They and two grandchildren survive.

A High Mass of Requiem was offered on July 8 at Immaculate Conception Church, Montclair, N. J., with interment in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, East Hanover, N. J.

The Class extends its sympathy to the widow and children as they are well known to most of us from regular attendance at reunions and class functions.

LINN LOUIS WHITE died in La Marque, Texas, on May 14, 1966.

"Chick" was born in St. Louis, Mo., on April 22, 1887 and came to Dartmouth from Central High School in that city. He only remained through freshman year and regretted it the rest of his life. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and the Mandolin Club.

He entered the railroad business on leaving college and was with the St. Louis-San Francisco from 1908 to 1954, when he retired. He served in the engineering, executive and purchasing departments and was chief inspector of forestry products.

Linn was married to Anna Elsie Gannett on June 16, 1910 at St. Louis. Two daughters blessed this union. After Linn's retirement, he and Elsie moved to La Marque, Texas, where she died in 1955. Three years later he gave up his home and lived with daughter Marion the rest of his life. In retirement, he was frail physically, but his mind was alert and he had a vast knowledge on many subjects.

Linn is survived by his two daughters, Mrs. Charles N. Harnden of Berkeley, Calif., and Mrs. Joseph G. Murphy of La Marque, Texas; three granddaughters, one grandson, and a brother, Alfred G. White '07.

He had studied at Yale Law School. At the time of his death, he was practicing law in New York City, specializing in international and admiralty law. He had previously served as counsellor to the Consulate Generals in Spain and Portugal, and as counsellor to the Governor of Portugal.

ERNEST STEPHENS passed away August 8, 1966 at a Lynn, Mass., convalescent home. He had been in poor health for a long period.

He was born in Lanesville, Mass., July 8, 1889. His preparation for college was at Gloucester (Mass.) High School. Ernest spent his life in the field of education. His work in college was genuine preparation, and he attained Phi Beta Kappa rank at the beginning of senior year. He retired in 1954 as Superintendent of Schools in Lynn and was honored by election as superintendent emeritus. He had previously served as a teacher in the Lynn school system, head of the history department in English High, secretary to the school committee and deputy superintendent.

Ernest Stephens was held in highest esteem by officials of all ranks in the state education department. Many tributes were quoted in the newspapers. Superintendent of Schools in Lynn, Mass., Lawrence G. McGinn, said: "Few men in public life have been so completely dedicated to their responsibilities as was Ernest Stephens. He was truly a warrior in the field of education devoting the greater part of his professional life in assisting the city of Lynn to build a good school system. His interest in the community and the significant contribution he made in so many areas of community activity, marked him as an outstanding citizen as well as an educator. For the great good that he accomplished in the city's behalf, we are all in his debt."

Ernest served in World War I as a Sergeant in the Army. He was stationed at Walter Reed Hospital in the educational bureau for the rehabilitation of soldiers. He had refused to claim exemption as a teacher. One of his sons, Robert Nelson, was fatally wounded while serving with General Patton's Third Army in France in 1944.

Ernest was a 32nd degree Mason, a member of the New England Superintendents Association, Massachusetts Superintendents Association, National Education Association, National Association of School Superintendents, the Lynn Rotary Club, and a past president of the Lynn Lions Club. In St. Stephen's Episcopal Church he had served as vestryman, junior warden and senior warden.

He was married to Esther Nelson in Lynn, December 15, 1923. She died in 1964. Surviving is one son Ernest Jr. '52 of Garland, Texas.

1911

KENNETH JOHNSTON KNAPP succumbed to cancer on May 19, after a year's valiant fight against the disease. His last weeks were spent in hospitals is Clearwater, Fla.

Ken was born in Steelton, Pa., May 5, 1889, and attended the University School in Cleveland. He entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1910 but took his sophomore year off to help home finances. He returned an enthusiastic member of 1911. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa, College Choir, Glee and Orpheus Clubs.

His first employment was with the City of Rochester, N. Y., in the engineering department with which he was continually associated, although from 1920 to 1930 he was a partner in a private engineering firm. In the latter year he was called back to become assistant city engineer. He was promoted to the top job as City Engineer in 1944, which position he retained until his forced retirement in 1959. He was especially concerned with the water and sewer systems and played a major role in the current $18-million sewer project in the city.

He was active in alumni affairs and was a member of the 1911 executive committee, and assisted in planning its 55th reunion. The Episcopal Chu rches in both Rochester and Largo enjoyed the benefits of his participation in their affairs. He sang with various organizations including church choirs, and joined in amateur theatricals, notably with the Rochester Civic Music Association, the Eastman Theatre and the Ascension Players.

Ken and Constance Viet were married in Etna, N. H., May 6, 1911. After his wife's death in 1956 he married Mrs. Dorothy Spencer Comson. Other survivors are three daughters, two sons, eighteen grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held in Rochester. Instead of flowers donations to the AmericanCancer Society or St. Dunstan's Church, Largo,were suggested.

WALTER LESTER MAYO died in a Falmouthnursing home on May 28, 1966 following several months of ill health.

He was born in Watertown, Mass., February12, 1888, and prepared for college at Watertown High and Rockridge Hall schools. Aftergraduation he immediately joined the New England Dressed Meat and Wool Co. and was superintendent of the above from 1919 to 1921. Inthe latter year he became sales manager of the ice cream division of H. P. Hood and Sons, which position he held until his retirement in 1948.

Funeral services were held at St. Peter's on the Canal Episcopal Church, Buzzards Bay, and burial was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge. Friends were informed that he would have been pleased to have contributions go to the Charity Fund of the Boston Rotary Club care of Statler Hotel.

1913

HOWARD ARTHUR BARENDS died July 7 in Buckingham, Quebec.

All '13ers can readily recall the contributions Dutch" made to Dartmouth athletics: an outstanding football player —3 D's —on the baseball team -and on the side, freshman managerof hockey. For two years he was president of our class, and all that earlier prowess was in evidence throughout the years in his athletic interests. He was an outstanding curler, enjoyed golfing and fishing, and rarely missed a professional football game.

Dutch and Ottila moved to Buckingham in 1917 and together, with their keen interest in the activities of St. Andrews United Church, made an outstanding contribution to the community in which they lived. Ottila died on June 21, 1961 —their 46th wedding anniversary.

Dutch was a civil engineer brought up under the aegis of "Bobby" Fletcher - and he would say "God bless him," for in Thayer School he learned to work —and work long hours. This was a precept that made him a vital factor in the James MacLaren Company for forty years. He retired New Year's Day 1961 as Managing Director of MacLaren-Quebec Power Co., but was still active with the company as a consultant engineer.

His son, Howard Jr., is a doctor, living and practicing in Ottawa. He and his wife Lillian have three youngsters, the youngest of whom is Howard III. Lillian wrote, "He was a devoted husband, a proud father and grandfather, and the best father-in-law any girl ever had."

Just before our 50th reunion Dutch wrote "Let's hope that I can join you for this reunion before we leave for the great adventure." Dutch came.

FRANK FOSS SPENCER died at his home, 18 Autumn St., Rochester, N. H., on July 19. Our sympathy goes out to his wife Frances and his three children, Elizabeth, Barbara and Frank Spencer. Besides his widow and three children, Frank left nine grandchildren (one of whom is Spencer Levesque '63) and four great-grandchildren.

After his graduation from Thayer School,Frank was associated with Professor Fletcher onDartmouth and Hanover projects, Building andGrounds of the College, inspector and engineeron Tuck Drive, and the Hanover Water Co.During World War I Frank was with the U.S.Government Housing Project at Groton, Conn.,and the Atlantic Corporation Shipyard in Portsmouth, N. H.

Later on Frank was an engineer and superintendent of construction at National Engineering Corp.; Albertham Construction Co.; andSupervisory Civil Engineer for Naval Shipyard,Portsmouth, N. H., from which he retired in1962.

WILLIAM BLEECKER WRIGHT passed away on June 27, at his Marys River Ranch, Deeth, Nevada, at the age of 70. Bill had worked during the day at his ranch. His body was found at a hot springs where he often went to obtain relief from his bursitis. It was apparent that he had died from a heart attack.

Bill made an outstanding contribution to Nevada and to the nation in public service, and to the Republican Party. He was born in Los Angeles September 30, 1895. He served in the Air Force in World War I, and began his ranching career as a ranch hand in Montana in 1920. He became associated with John Marble in 1922, and in 1926 became manager of the 71 Ranch in Elko County, in partnership interests with Mr. Marble. Later Wright and Marble divided their interests and Bill acquired the Marys River Ranch, one of the largest in Northeastern Nevada's cattle country.

Bill was among the leaders in the state Republican Party for many years and was National Committeeman from Nevada several years ago. Although he was always active in party leadership he did not seek public office until 1964, when he was his party's candidate for U. S. Senator.

He was a founder of the Nevada State Cattle Association and served as its president from 1935 to 1942. He was president of the American National Live Stock Association in 1946-1947.

Bill was a long time member of the Elko Chamber of Commerce and was a director of the United States Chamber of Commerce, where he served on its Resources and Public Lands Committee.

Bill's death drew expressions of sympathy from both political parties in Nevada. Lieut. Governor Paul Laxalt stated: "He constantly stood up and was counted for that in which he believed. The Republican Party, to which he was very deeply dedicated and which he served so well, will miss him very much." Democratic Governor Grant Sawyer said: "Nevada has lost one of its finest citizens with the passing of Mr. Wright. I valued him as a friend and respected him for his dedication to his family, his friends, his community and his state."

He is survived by his widow Linda, whom he married in March 1929; two sons, William B. Jr., and John, and several grandchildren.

The Class of 1918 has lost one of its most prominent members.

AUGUSTUS POLLACK BOYD passed away April 11 at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Hospital.

Red, as all classmates knew him, was justly described by a fellow alumnus in Chattanooga as "a superb golfer from the time he could walk and one of the most lovable men anyone could meet."

He was a very highly esteemed Dartmouth man both as an undergraduate and as an alumnus. He was captain of the Dartmouth golf team in his sophomore, junior and senior years. He led Dartmouth to the intercollegiate golf championship in 1921 against many contenders including Cambridge, England.

He continued with Travelers when five years later he moved to Detroit and worked as an insurance adjuster. He later came back to Hartford and in 1947 became superintendent of claims for the American Surety Co.

1924

One of our very loyal classmates, JOSEPH WILLET HOLLIDAY, passed away on May 11, 1966 when a combination of virus pneumonia and a heart attack were too much to overcome. He and Olive had just returned from a flight to Europe where he had been in good health and spirits and where they had joined forces with the Bud Straits.

Joe was born in Washington, Georgia, on Aug. 12, 1902. Four years after graduation he moved to St. Louis and married Olive Moffitt, who bore him three children: Joseph Jr., John M. '57, and Holly (now Mrs. Holly Reid of Darien, Conn.). All survive him, with his sister, Mrs. Ruth Watkins, and three grandchildren.

His major work was as manager of Fulton Bag Co., in Kansas City, from which he had retired early in 1950. His civic activities included being a vestryman in the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Among Joe's enthusiasms for Dartmouth were his work as Interviewing Chairman for the Kansas City area, past president of the Kansas City Alumni Club, and his son s four years in Hanover. His support to the Alumni Fund was another measure of Joe as a Dartmouth man who will be much missed by many who knew him well. Olive plans to continue his and her own interest in Dartmouth and the Class of 1924.

JOSEPH EDWARD MCKOAN died of a massive coronary thrombosis on July 2, 1966. Information comes from his brother, John McKoan '22, who also informed us of memorial gifts made to Dartmouth College in the name of our classmate.

Joe was born on November 19, 1901, in Worcester, Mass., where he was a star athlete at North High School. In college he was a member of Phi Delta Theta. After graduation he worked in Worcester in the lumber and insurance businesses for about fifteen years. In 1939 he became president of the McKoan Oil Co. there. He was associated with United Aircraft, 1942-44-61, in Hartford, Conn, and Falmouth, Mass. His work then changed: in 1961 he alternated between hotels and restaurants in Boca Raton, Florida, in the winter, and Hidden Valley Ranch (among others) at Lake Luzerne, N. Y. from March to November.

He married the daughter of the then-Mayor of Worcester, Eleanor O'Hara, in 1925. They had one son, Douglas, who attended Worcester Junior College, and was an actor. Joe's wife died in November 1965.

The 40-year class book tells very little about a classmate who, ironically, was engaged in newspaper work most of his life since graduation. JAMES HOLLAND NEWTON JR. died suddenly on June 24.

Born December 9, 1901, in Middletown, Conn., Jim began as a feature writer for the Worcester Sunday Telegram, in the city where he graduated from North High School (as had Joe McKoan, whose obituary is also here recorded). Other papers for which he wrote were the New Bedford Standard Times, the old Boston Transcript, the Boston Daily Record and Record American, and (when he retired after a severe stroke several years ago which crippled him) on the editorial staff of the BostonTraveler.

Jim was a member of Delta Upsilon in college. He did not marry until 1942, and then to Elizabeth Howe, who was the curator for the Whipple House, a national historic landmark. One daughter also survives him: Lucinda (Mrs. Kenneth R. Jones) of Michigan; also a brother, Prof. Marshall Newton, of Northeastern University.

CLIFTON WATTS KELLOGG died May 31, 1966, in Lowell, Mass. At the time of this writing we have been unable to add to the meager data on file. We know he was married to Ruth Smith (1935) and that they had one son, Kenneth, of Willimantic, Conn, and a grandson. His career started with the E. F. Hunt Co., Cambridge, Mass (1925), then as a credit investigator with Sears, Roebuck & Co. for 16 years (1933); finally as owner of a paint and hardware store in Chelmsford, Mass., where he had resided since 1959. He was a member, as an undergraduate, of Masonic Bezaleel Lodge 100, in Hanover. We find no record of his having returned there to renew old ties. His widow continues to reside at 112 Westford St., Chelmsford.

While at Hanover he participated as a leader in many activities, being a member of Phi Delta Theta, Delta Omicron Gamma, Casque and Gauntlet, Green Key, Palaeopitus (president in 1925), the Musical Clubs, and Cabin and Trail. He was on the freshman track team, manager of football, and secretary of the class his freshman year.

Born in Montclair, N. J., May 26, 1903, Bill prepared for Dartmouth at Cascadilla School, Ithaca, N. Y. He was a member of Psi Upsilon and Dragon. After devoting nearly 25 years to the advertising field in the New York area, he moved to San Francisco where he held several positions involving production engineering and cost control. He was a member of the San Francisco Press Club. He worked with a group called "Experience Unlimited," whose purpose was to find jobs for older men. He served the government as a civilian property disposal officer for the Army Air Forces during the contract termination program.

Bill was divorced from his first wife, Margery McKercher of Montclair, N. J., whom he married in 1926 and who presented him with his only son, Clark McK., Princeton '53. In 1949 he married Sara Bacon of Berkeley, who survives him, together with a brother, Edward, in New York, in addition to his son of Washington, Conn, and a grandson.

JOHN BARRY MAHOOL died July 29, 1966, in New York City after several weeks of treatment for cancer.

Jack was born in Baltimore, July 3, 1904, and prepared for Dartmouth at Baltimore City College. While at Hanover he was a member of Theta Delta Chi, Alpha Chi Sigma, Arts and the Players, serving as secretary of the last-named organization his senior year. Following graduation he served the Baltimore Cooper Smelting and Rolling Co. as a metallurgical engineer. From 1931 to 1944 he was an actor, starring in the New York plays "Lucrece," "Shooting Star" and "Cross Town."

During World War II Jack served with the Office of War Information and directed operations at the American broadcasting station in London. After working with Radio Luxembourg and Radio Frankfort, he joined the Voice of America in 1946. He was radio director of the American Heritage Foundation from 1947 to 1950 and deputy director of Radio Free Europe from 1950 to 1953. Later he was sent by the State Department to serve as adviser to the Egyptian Broadcasting Service and the Chinese Nationalist Radio Network. He joined Radio Liberty in 1962 to serve at their European headquarters at Munich. In commenting on Jack's passing, his boss wrote: "All of us at Radio Liberty recognized in Barry Mahool the highly competent and genuinely professional international communicator. Beginning with his experience in World War II and continuing up until the time of his death, he was constantly broadening and deepening his knowledge and practical operating experience with radio. Very few senior executives anywhere in the world have had the variety of experience in international broadcasting that Barry had acquired. As the Director of Radio Liberty's Program Operations Division in Munich, he gave generously of himself and of this remarkable experience in helping to make Radio Liberty the most powerful voice of freedom heard in the Soviet Union."

Surviving Jack are his widow, Rita, and a daughter, Patricia Ann, to whom the deep sympathy of the Class is extended. Their address in Germany is Leitzachstrasse 5, Munchen 9.

1926

During his two years in Hanover, CHARLES WINTHROP ROGERS lived in New Hampshire and became a member of Zeta Psi. His abiding interest in design and architecture led him to M.I.T., two degrees, and to a lifetime of distinguished activity as an artist of imagination and good taste. While at Dartmouth, Charlie made a host of friends.

On August 1, 1966, Charlie died in an apparent suicide leap from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, St. Petersburg, Florida. He had been despondent about ill health for some time, although I saw him in June and he seemed to be in excellent health and spirits.

Charlie leaves his wife, Louise, two children, Candace and Jonathan, a grandchild and a brother, Arthur F.

Born in Rockport, Mass., on December 2, 1904, Charlie came to Dartmouth from Gloucester (Mass.) High School. I am going to let him tell his own story —as he did in a long letter to Chip some years ago:

"After my two years at Dartmouth I transferred to M.I.T. and eventually ended up with two degrees in architecture in 1929 - a poor time to get through school! Got interested, perforce, in retail store design in New York in 1930, married Louise B. Marshall, Smith '26, that same year, and in 1933 moved to Newark, N. J., to work, staying there until 1954 when the long grey winters got the best of us, as you know. In the meantime our daughter Candace Lowell was born in 1935. Son Jonathan Archer was born in 1937, and is planning to go to Florida State - (page Dick Husband! - ) next fall for continued study in Oceanography.

"My business life has been spent in the retail design field. After moving to Florida I started my own design consultant business, and now have a partner. We call ourselves, not really arrogantly, Designs Unlimited, and are equipped to design almost anything! Our business, despite the current recession, has been excellent, and we look forward to continued activity. I have had more fun in the last seven years being my own boss than I had in all previous 22 years put together, and strangely enough have never felt any less secure. Louise is an integral part of the business these days, too, and we have much to be thankful for." Charlie never lost his interest in Dartmouth. He was a worthy member of 1926. Louise continues to reside at 821 69th Ave. S, St. Petersburg.

1929

After his graduation Harry attended the Boston University Graduate School of Social Service. He was a member of the First Parish Church of Bedford, Concord Rotary Club and Corinthian Lodge, AF and AM, whose members conducted a service at the MacRae Tunnicliffe Funeral Home on July 11. Besides his wife, Harry leaves two sisters, Mrs. William S. Dennis of Marblehead and Mrs. Robert Knight of Foxboro, and three brothers, all of Marblehead: Lawrence E., James T. and W. Frank. The Class sends its condolences to Harry's widow and family, who reside at 110 Concord Rd., Bedford.

1930

JOHN CAMERON GARLAND died June 27 following a brief illness. John was a vice president of the First National Bank of Boston and head of the loan review department in the bank's domestic banking activities. He had been with the Bankers Trust Company in New York prior to associating with the First National in 1940.

Born in Gloucester, Mass., John was a graduate of Choate School and after Dartmouth he attended Harvard Business School.

The Class extends its deepest sympathy to his widow Jo, his son Thomas '65, and daughter. Mrs. Garland lives at Carriage Lane, South Hamilton, Mass.

1931

WILLIAM FRANKLIN HAYES died at Grosse Pointe, Mich., on May 28, 1966, after a short illness. He was personnel manager of Chrysler Corporation's Highland Park Machining Plant, and had just been named personnel manager for the new Toledo Machining Plant at Perrysburg, Mich.

Bill commenced his Dartmouth career with our class, but received his A.B. with the Class of 1932. He was a native of Detroit. He received his law degree from Wayne State University and was admitted to the Bar in Michigan in 1946. He was a veteran of World War II, serving with the Air Force.

Surviving are his wife, Marie, of 395 Sherwood Rd., Union, N. J., son John, daughters Sally and Judy, of Grosse Pointe, and his mother, Mrs. Burnetia Hayes, of Detroit.

Word has been received of the death of WILLIAM FRANKLIN STEVENS on May 27, 1966. Red did not complete his education at Dartmouth, and was considered an inactive mem- ber of the Class. He had been residing at 395 Sherwood Road, Union, N. J.

1933

EDWIN HAROLD JACKSON succumbed to a heart attack August 11 at his home, 1023 Cave Rd. NW, Atlanta, Ga. Several years ago, shortly after moving to Atlanta from his native Fort Worth, Texas, Ed suffered his first, though mild, attack. Recently his condition worsened and he retired from business early this year.

Ed came to Dartmouth from Kemper Military Academy in Missouri, and attended Tuck School during his senior year. While at college, he was active in The Players and worked with Warner Bentley on productions. Shortly after graduation, he collaborated in writing a musical comedy which almost reached Broadway. This effort terminated his professional interest in the theatre.

Next Ed returned to Fort Worth, where during the war years he was associated with Globe Aircraft in the manufacture of training planes for the Armed Forces. At war's end he became Southwestern representative for a women's apparel firm, but resigned when it merged with another manufacturer.

He was offered the presidency of the American Service Company in Atlanta about seven years ago. This organization operates a chain of drive-in service markets throughout the Southern States. The company was losing money and Ed accepted the challenge to put it back in the black.

Last year when American Service Company showed substantial gains, Ed concluded a bulk sale to a Dallas concern and then announced his retirement.

Ed married Charlsie Mae 25 years ago. From this union came Ceanne and Stanley. From his subsequent marriage to Barbara, another boy was born just one year ago. Ceanne made Ed a grandfather six weeks ago. Stanley is a student at Vanderbilt University.

A funeral service was held in Atlanta August 13, but because of the airlines strike no member of the Class was present. To his family goes the sympathy of the Class in their great loss. Ed was a loyal classmate and a sincere friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.

1934

ROBERT CAPERS FORD, one of the best known members of the Class of 1934, died July 16 at Staten Island (N. Y.) Hospital at age 54. He had not been well for the past eight years and had been hospitalized two and a half weeks during his final illness.

Bob's undergraduate career at Dartmouth was marked by his keen interest and extensive participation in the musical life of the College. He was the "voice" of Dartmouth's famed Barbary Coast orchestra and a member of the College band, the symphony orchestra and the freshman and varsity glee clubs. He maintained his interest in Dartmouth and music throughout his life. He served for years as an assistant class agent and as a member and director of the choir of St. Andrew's Church of Staten Island. He also appeared in Montclair (N. J. Operetta Club productions and was active in the Montclair Dramatic Club, as well as the Montclair "M" Club, an organization dedicated to furthering Montclair High School sports.

A native of Staten Island, Bob was born November 12, 1911. He prepared for Dartmouth at Phillips Exeter Academy, where he participated in track and tennis and was a member of the glee club.

He became cruise director of the Morro Castle after graduation but was transferred just before that ill-fated ship was swept by fire off the New Jersey coast in 1934. After serving as cruise director for Cunard White Star Line, Bob joined Westinghouse Electric and was with that firm for many years in various capacities. At the time of his deatn, he was a sales executive for Westinghouse Electric International in New York.

Funeral services and burial were in Upper Montclair, N. J., where Bob and his family had resided (92 Mt. Hebron Road) for the past 11 years. Besides his wife, the former Jean Klein, Bob leaves two sons - Lt. Douglas O. Ford, USMC, en route to Viet Nam, and Russell T. Ford, Buffalo, N. Y. - and twin daughters Jean and Marcia, of the Upper Montclair address.

To them the Class of 1934 expresses profound sorrow.

1935

Apparently without any premonition or warning, SAMUEL GARDINER SPRING was hospitalized with a blood clot in his leg, from which he died at St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse, N. Y., on March 25 at the age of 52. He lived at SherbrooK Kd., Manlius, N. Y.

Gardy was a native of Ithaca and spent most of his life in upper New York State. He worked first with the Provident Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Syracuse after graduating from Dartmouth where he was a member of Kappa Sigma. In subsequent years he was with the Syracuse Glass Co., and, most recently, had been Central New York sales manager for Cooper-Widman New York, Ltd., manufacturer of doors.

In 1939 Gardy married Karoline Wallace of Syracuse, who survives him with their three children, Wallace of Elmira, N. Y., Jonathan and Deborah Ellen, a granddaughter, and three brothers.

Cramp Carrick represented the Class at a memorial service held at the United Church of Fayetteville, which was also attended by other members of the Central New York Dartmouth Club. The sympathy of the Class is extended to Karoline and the children on the untimely death of a man who had many friends in '35.

1936

During the summer a letter was received from Charles P. Dickinson Jr. advising the College that his father had passed away in October 1965 as the result of a liver ailment. CHARLES PATTEN DICKINSON was born in Emporia, Kansas, and came to Dartmouth from Los Angeles. He had attended the Le Rosey School in Switzerland and the Hun School in Princeton, N. J. He was in Hanover during 1932 and 1933 and returned to the Los Angeles area where he resided until his death. Charles was active in the investment field and was at one time a partner in the Syfo Water Co. The sympathy of the Class is extended to his son and the other members of his family.

1937

Guy HUNT MELHORN was with us for only two years but will be remembered especially by those who played freshman or JV football as he was a very solidly built guard and had spent five years prior to Dartmouth at Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia where he captained their team.

He spent over four years in the Army, mainly with HQ Company 141 st Infantry, 36th Division, in the African-European Middle Eastern Theatre and came through without a scratch. About 15 years ago he developed diabetes but with proper self-discipline kept it under control. His business life since the war is unknown but for the past three years he owned a dry cleaning operation in Hazleton, Pa., that was very successful.

His parents died when he was a baby. He had made his home with an aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Frederick of Hazleton, who raised him as their own and to whom we are indebted for the above information. Guy was a bachelor.

WILLIAM BREINING WARD, owner of the B Bar Ranch in Miner, Montana, passed away on July 3. He was a son of the late William B. Ward, president of the Ward Baking Company, and a grandson of Robert Boyd Ward, first president of the Ward Baking Company. He was born in Rochester, N. Y„ and attended the Pawling School prior to Dartmouth.

Bill went to Livingston, Montana, in 1939 and became active in cattle ranching for a number of years until his health began to fail. His wife, Gretchen, tells us that from then on his main desire was to travel, making three trips around the world and many short cruises.

Last January his oldest daughter, Marilyn, only 22, was killed in a car-train tragedy which was a terrible shock to the family and Bill never got over it. Gretchen's words explain this best: "I would say Bill died of a broken heart because that's what it was in the end. He grieved so much he gave up the will to live. He was buried beside his daughter in Living- ston just as he would have wished."

Surviving are son, George, who is continuing to operate the ranch, daughters Anne and Jean, brothers Jack and Robert, sisters Mrs. Jane Holden and Mrs. Suzanne Shaw, and Marilyn's little one-year-old daughter, his grandchild.

1940

1948

Last June 7, MARVIN YEAGER HADER died in his apartment in Brooklyn from a sudden heart attack. Apparently, he had been in good health until a few days before when he had entered the hospital for tests as he was not feeling too well. He was released from the hospital after all examinations proved negative and died in his home the same day.

Marvin came to Dartmouth after attending the Citadel and from the beginning of his college career was very active in all phases of the Dartmouth Outing Club. His senior year he was a member of the Winter Sports Council and manager of the skating team. He was one of the principal organizers of the 1948 Winter Carnival. Characteristically he was a diligent, conscientious worker in whatever endeavor he undertook, and without fanfare you could be sure the job would be well done.

Upon graduation, Marvin entered medical school and decided to specialize in psychiatry. For several years he had his own office in Manhattan and was a consultant on the staffs of various hospitals, achieving considerable recognition for his work in geriatric psychiatry. He published several authoritative papers on this specialty. At the time of his death, Marvin was a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and served on the staffs of Bellevue and St. Vincent Hospitals in New York City and was a consultant at the Home and Hospital of the Daughters of Jacob in the Bronx. Marvin was not married and is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Hader, and his sister, all of whom live in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Information was sent to us over the summer by HUGH OATMAN KERWIN'S wife, Jane, that Hugh died on April 15, 1966 after having been afflicted with encephalitis in 1959 while living in Dallas, Texas. At his death, Hugh was living in his native city of St. Louis, Missouri, where he was born and raised. Hugh attended John Burroughs School in St. Louis and after serving in the Navy came to Dartmouth in 1946. He was an affable, gregarious, person and joined Zeta Psi fraternity at Dartmouth. English was his major and Hugh always enjoyed writing while in school. Upon graduating he became a sales representative for radio and TV stations. He was associated with stations in Seattle, Dallas, and Washington before moving back to St. Louis about three years ago. At the time of his death, he was with the Gardner Advertising Agency. In addition to his wife Jane, Hugh leaves two sons, Kevin, 12, and Patrick, 10. They reside at 30 West Swan, Webster Groves, Mo.

Hugh had three Dartmouth brothers, Martin '33, Daniel '35, and Robert '43.

1949

News has been received by the College from Glen Campbell, Pa., of the sudden death of Barney D. WILMOTH Jr. on March 24, 1966.

Barney began his college training at Dartmouth and continued on at Franklin and Marshall, where he took special courses relating to the petroleum industry. At his death he was field engineer for Clifford B. Hannay and Son, Inc., of Westwelo, N. Y., manufacturers of hose reels. Prior to that he had been employed in the same capacity with large petroleum producers.

Barney grew up in the Pittsburgh area and came to Dartmouth from Staunton Military Academy. He leaves his wife and three daughters, to whom the Class extends its deepest sympathy. They reside in Indiana, Pa.

1953

It is with deep regret that we report the death of JAMES HARNESS SKINNER who died of cancer in Denver, Colorado last April 26. Roger Ewy's letter expresses how many of us felt about Jim when he wrote, "The whole Denver community was shocked and grief stricken beyond words." Our warmest sympa- thies go to Carol and her two children. They live at 5825 West Rowland, Littleton, Colo.

1954

BRUCE MATHESON suffered a fatal heart attack on June 27, 1966 while driving on the Massachusetts Turnpike near Chicopee. At the time, he was traveling on an assignment for the construction concern, F. R. Stifler Foundation Co., Inc., of which he was vice president.

This untimely passing is a tragic loss to the Class as well as to his family. Bruce was certainly among our most active classmates. His service as house president of Chi Phi and as a member of the Interfraternity Treasurers' Council exemplified his outstanding leadership qualities. He was a good follower, too, and his performances with the Dartmouth Band and Barbary Coast Orchestra were cheered by all of us at one time or another. After graduation, Bruce attended Thayer School where he obtained a master's degree in civil engineering

The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Loanne and the children Bruce Jr., 10; Candyce, 9; April, 6; and Bonney Leigh, 2; who reside in Marshfield, Mass. (Box 88).

1956

DR. JOSEPH NELSON DUNSTON JR. died in Ann Arbor, Michigan on August 9. After Dartmouth, Joe went on to Howard University Medical School. He had earned a fellowship in hematology to study at the University of Michigan Medical School where he was working at the time of his death.

At Dartmouth, Joe majored in Sociology. He was a member of Pi Lam, Green Key and the UGC. He also played basketball, ran track and was vice-president of his house. He will always be remembered by his many good friends for his infectious laughter and good humor. It is truly sad that such a promising medical career should not be fulfilled.

The deepest sympathies of the College and the Class go out to Joe's wife, Alice, and his children, Joseph and Gina. The Dunstons were living at 1763 Cram Circle No. 2, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

1961

Many '61s first heard of the tragic death of Tom Caley at reunion. DEXTER THOMAS CALEY was killed in an automobile accident in Powers, Mich., on May 7. After graduation, Tom served in the Navy for four years. He married the former Suzanne Gabourie in 1962 and they had a daughter Kirsten. At the time of his death, he was on summer vacation from the Graduate School of Business at the University of Michigan.

Tom was a good friend to his fraternity brothers at Kappa Kappa Kappa and was elected their Rushing Chairman. It is difficult to express in words how one feels about the loss of a fine man like Tom Caley. The fellowship of our Class at Dartmouth is the less because he is no longer with us. Suzanne is living at Northwood Cove, Menominee, Mich.

Tom is also survived by his brother William H. III '58.
