1906

CHARLES ARTHUR LUCK died March 10 in a hospital in Pasadena, Cal., of complications following an operation for a blood clot that had formed in his leg. Although a long-standing heart condition had somewhat limited his activity in later years, he had remained alert and buoyant until shortly before his death. Interment took place at Saratoga, Cal., on March 14.

Born in Marion, Mass., February 23, 1883, Charles prepared for college at Tabor Academy. At Dartmouth he was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, a cheerful and companionable man with many friends among his classmates. Energetic and restless, he left college early in sophomore year to go to Panama with the Panama-Isthmian Canal Commission on preliminary surveys for the canal. He remained there two years, serving for much of the time as general superintendent of concrete construction. In September 1906 he returned to Dartmouth and spent the next two years studying in the College and Thayer School.

In 1908 he went to Toledo, 0., as western manager for the Hastings Pavement Co. From 1916 to 1918 he was sales manager for France Stone Co., and the following five years general manager of the Conklin Pen Co., both also of Toledo.

He retired in 1949 and moved to Saratoga, Cal.

Charles was a member of the Thayer Society of Civil Engineers, the Detroit Engineering Society, the Dartmouth Club of San Francisco, and several other clubs. His years of retirement were especially pleasant ones. He loved living in California, and his family life was most happy. He kept in touch with Dartmouth men in San Francisco, and he and Gus Ayers, also retired, spent many pleasant hours together.

Charles had married in Toledo on October 27, 1909, Corinne P. Johnston of Eldorado, Kan., who died in 1959, a few months before they would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.

1912

Jim English died suddenly at his home 1464 Overlea Street, Clearwater, Fla., on March 9. He was writing a letter in his bedroom in the evening, went to lie down on his bed, and it was there that his wife later found him dead.

JAMES HENRY ENGLISH was born in Armagh, Ireland, on September 10, 1886 and came to this country when quite young. He prepared for college at Northfield (Vt.) High School and Kimball Union Academy. While at Dartmouth, in 1911, he studied at the University of Dijon, France, and after receiving his Ph.D. at Columbia in 1926, studied at Centro de Estudios, Madrid, Spain in 1927-1928.

Jim taught French and Spanish for 40 years. These included periods at Lafayette College, Rutgers Preparatory School, Choate School, Columbia University, New York University, Lincoln Memorial University, and Grove City (Pennsylvania) College. His name was to be found in "Who's Who in America" and "Who's Who in the East." In addition to his teaching Jim was the author of books in Spanish and French. He was a member of the American Association of University Professors and of the American Association of Teachers of French. He served as a deacon in the First Presbyterian Church at Grove City before moving to Florida in 1957 where he joined the Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church in Clearwater. Since 1954 he had been an honorary member of Nu Lambda Phi at Grove City.

Jim had not been well of late. He suffered from diabetes and had had a mild stroke. He was a valued member of the Clearwater Dartmouth alumni group, often meeting with them for dinner and entertaining with his tales of life at Grove City College as well as reminiscences of college days.

On July 12, 1922 Jim English married Sarah Conover of Elizabethtown, N. J. He is survived only by his widow, since his daughter died several years ago and his brother Bill '13 passed away last December. Funeral services were held on March 11 at Moss Fort Harrison Chapel, Clearwater, with interment in Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park, Pinellas County. Among the fourteen pallbearers were Laurence Bankart, Leon Kimball, Andrew Scarlett, and Arthur Lloyd, all 1910, Nathaniel Burleigh and Kenneth Phelps '11, Alfred Smith '12, Walter Humphrey '14, Warren Montsie '15, and Paul Miner

It is safe to say that no member of the Class of 1912 who has passed away in recent years will be missed more than Hal Fuller who died in Monadnock Community Hospital, Peterborough, N. H., on February 17. As noted in a previous issue of this magazine, Hal had been patient in Baker Memorial in Boston. Little was accomplished by way of relieving him of his pulmonary disease so it seemed wise to a] low him to return to the hospital where he had contributed so much of himself.

HAROLD SYLVESTER FULLER was born in Lynn, Mass., on September 23, 1889. He prepared fa college at Lynn Classical High School. While at Dartmouth he was manager of the varsity basketball team, president of Palaeopitus, secretary of Webster Club, Commencement usher his junior year, Class treasurer senior year, and elected assistant treasurer of his Class on graduation. He was a member of Chi Phi and Sphinx and in later years became National President of the former and Alumni President of the latter.

After graduation in 1912 Hal was employed by the lumber firm of Palmer & Parker in Boston. During the last year of World War I he served as Experimental Director, Lumber Division, Naval Aircraft Factory, Philadelphia Naval Yard, in charge of inspection, conditioning and transportation of all lumber used in seaplanes. Following the war he moved to Winchester, Mass., and organized the Fuller-Thurber Lumber Company with a mill in Boston, serving as president of the firm. He traveled abroad buying logs and in the course of these trips suffered many accidents resulting in fractures of the spine, legs, and arms. In 1932 he sold out the lumber business and became president and general manager of the Bicknell & Fuller Paper Box Co. in Boston.

Hal Fuller's life was a busy and productive one. While living in Massachusetts he was president of the Boston Lumber Trade Association, vice president of the National Mahogany Association, president of the New England Box Manufacturers Association and of its national group. He served as chairman of Advisory Committee of the Massachusetts State Department of Welfare, president of the Winchester Hospital and of the Winchester Community Chest, vice president of the Greater Boston Community Council, Director of Public Safety and chairman of Civilian Defense in Winchester, chairman of Massachusetts Council and director of National War Fund. He served on the Finance Committee of the Town of Winchester and was a member of the Arbitration Committee of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, a director of the Boston Old Colony Club, of the Winchester Country Club, and president of Winchester Rotary Club.

After living for about 30 years in Winchester, Hal moved to Hancock, N. H., in what he considered his retirement. Such was his dedication to things worthwhile that he was unable to escape public service and the following year assumed the administration of Monadnock Hospital in Hancock which he maintained until 1960. His career at this hospital spanned two major building programs. He was prominently identified with all phases of fund raising and business management of the hospital. In addition to these activities he found time to serve as town auditor, chairman of the budget committee, the advisory committee, trustee and moderator of the Congregational Church, chairman of the Town Common Committee, director of the Historical Society, founder of the Hancock Men's Club, president of the Peterborough Rotary Club and of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, and director of the New Hampshire Children's Aid Society.

On June 1, 1916 he married Audrey Whitten Thompson of Portland, Me., who passed away a few years ago. He is survived by a son, Harold S. Jr. '43, two daughters, seven grandchildren, two brothers, C. Kenneth '14 and Laurence U. and one sister, wife of Clark W. Collins '19. Funeral services were held February 21 at Hancock Congregational Church. Dartmouth was represented by Nelson Gay '13, James E. Hitchcock '19, Carter H. Hoyt '22, and Edwin F. Flindell '23. Several Dartmouth songs were played during the funeral, lending support to the conviction that Hal's love for the College was boundless. Memorial gifts were made to the Audrey and Harold S. Fuller Memorial Fund at Monadnock Memorial Community Hospital in Peterborough.

1916

Lieutenant General WIIAARD STEWART PAUL, one of the highest ranking military leaders ever to attend Dartmouth, died March 21 at the Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D. C. His home was on Longview Road, Gettysburg, Pa.

Stew was born in Worcester, Mass., on February 28, 1894 and attended South High School and Clark College before entering Dartmouth — which he attended , for two years, 1913-15. At Hanover he was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He received a B.S. degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1924, and in later years an M.A. degree in public administration from American University, and LL.D. (Hon.) degrees from American University and Roanoke College.

Stew was one of the few men who rose in the Army from the rank of private to lieutenant general. In 1916, during the Mexican border crisis, he was mustered as a private into the First Field Artillery, Colorado National Guard, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1917. From then on his rise in the Army was rapid. He barely missed front line duty in World War I. In the next twenty years Stew saw various service in this country, which included the Infantry School, Command and General Staff School, and the Army War College.

Then came his activities in World War 11. In January 1943 he was a major general and was assigned to activate the 75th Division. Seven months later he became commanding general Of the 26th Infantry Division - the Yankee Division - and was soon in France. The division was part of General George S. Patton's Third Army Corps, which in turn was part of General Omar N. Bradley's Twelfth Army Group. It took part in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and under Stew's command helped to relieve Bastogne, which was encircled by the Germans. It was there that Brigadier General McAuliffe made his famous answer of "Nuts" to the demand for surrender. The Yankee Division broke the Maginot Line defense, and its aggressive action drove the enemy from his last key terrain in France and forced him to withdraw the bulk of his forces across the German border.

In October 1945 General Eisenhower assigned Stew to the Office of the Chief of Staff in Washington, and later he was director of personnel and administration. He was made a lieutenant general in 1949, the year of his retirement from the Army.

He received many honors and decorations eight from foreign governments, including the British, French, Russian, Belgian, and Czechoslovakian, and a row of decorations in recogni- tion of his services to his country, including the Distinguished Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, the latter awarded for "exceptional work" in establishing the supply system of the Army ground forces.

After retirement Stew still kept many connections with the Army and was extremely active in high level administrative positions. He was president of the Retired Army Officers Association from 1954 until his death. His other interests were many and varied including many fields of the Presbyterian Church and the Red Cross. From 1956 to 1961 he served as the ninth president of Gettysburg College, and many of the Class attended the inauguration exercises. He was also president of the Class of 1916 during those same years. At the time of his death he was vice president of Alston Motors Inc., a Chrysler agency.

In 1919 Stew was married to Ruth M. Sieurin, who died in 1953. They had one son, Richard Irving Paul '44. In 1958 he married Mrs. Luella Musselman Arnold, who survives him.

Funeral services were held March 25 in Christ Chapel, Gettysburg College, with pallbearers and an honor guard provided by the Army and Air Force ROTC units of the college. Burial took place March 29 in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. A 44-member honor guard and an Army band led the procession from Fort Meyer Chapel to the grave, with the general's flag-draped casket on a caisson drawn by eight horses. The traditional riderless horse, with boots reversed in the stirrups, followed.

Among the honorary pallbearers, including three other generals and three colonels, were Col. John T. Ames '16 and Granville Fuller 'l6. Richard Parkhurst, president of the Class of 1916, represented Dartmouth College; Henry A. Bates and William Brett, the Class of 1916; Willis Fitch, the Class of 1917; and Lawrence C. Reeves '33, the Dartmouth Club of Washington.

NEILSON CORBIN BRUSH died July 28, 1965 in Orlando, Fla. He was a native of Brushton, N. Y., and divided his later years between that town, where he was born August 25, 1894, and Florida. Upon graduation from Brushton High School he entered Dartmouth but was there only two years. He was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.

Neil really devoted his life to the welfare of Brushton. From 1918 to 1928 he was in the coal and grain business there. He was subsequently mayor and town supervisor. In 1935 he was employed by the Franklin County Welfare Department and then was secretary and purchasing agent of the Civil Service Commission. In 1959 he moved to Florida where he lived until his death.

On July 11, 1917 Neil was married to Susan Ruth Andrews, who died in January 1965. A daughter survives. Neil was a member of St. Peter's Church, Brushton, and the senior warden of its vestry for over 40 years. The funeral and interment were in Brushton.

PAUL WENTWORTH RICHARDSON died suddenly March 17 in Larchmont, N. Y., where he made his home at 49 Chestnut Avenue.

Paul was born in Boston, June 4, 1894. He attended Henry Woods High School in Barre, Mass., before entering Dartmouth. He was with us for two years before transferring to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where in 1917 he received a B.S. in economics. At Hanover he was a member of Chi Phi fraternity. Paul served in the U. S. Infantry in World War I and was discharged because of physical disability in March 1918.

Paul started in Wall Street in 1917 and was with Brown Bros, for ten years before becoming a partner in his own firm of Chase, Falk and Richardson. In 1942 he went with George R. Cooley and Co., where he became a vice president and served for nine years. He was then a registered representative of Reynolds and Co. until his retirement several years ago.

Paul was an ardent fisherman, was the recipient of an honorary fishing license from the Canadian Premier, wrote articles on fishing for many magazines, and had belonged to Boyd's Camp on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick. He devoted a great deal of his time to the Hutchinson River Council, Boy Scouts, instructing in the sport. He was a member of the Masonic Order and of the American Legion.

In 1922 Paul married Theodora Theobald, who survives him, as does their son, Ted.

1917

DONALD MITCHELL ALLEN died in the Veterans Hospital at Jamaica Plain, Mass., on February 3 following a long illness.

He was born in Northampton, Mass., on April 11, 1895, and moved to Fitchburg as a small boy. He was an active worker in the Fitchburg Republican City Committee.

Don was a World War I veteran. After graduating as a second lieutenant from the first officers' training course at Plattsburg, he went overseas with the Infantry in 1917 and served there until September 1919.

He had been an accountant with the General Envelope Co. in Boston, and had been employed by co-operative banks, the United Fruit Company, and advertising agencies.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Yvonne (Paget) Allen, a daughter, a son, and a brother.

HARRY HAWKES JR., since 1964 a resident of Atlantic Beach, Fla., died on December 14, 1965, after having suffered from emphysema for the past five years.

Harry attended Dartmouth for a short time only. From 1914 to 1916 he studied at Columbia College, and in 1920 and 1921 he was a student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University.

His studies were interrupted by service as a pilot in World War I. He enlisted as a cadet in the Air Service, U.S. Army, on July 1, 1917, and was discharged on February 21, 1919 with the rank of first lieutenant. He saw action in the St. Mihiel and Muese-Argonne Offensives, and was cited in orders of the First Corps of the First Army.

On August 26, 1927, at New York, he married Alice Marie Wilson, by whom he is survived. There were two sons by the marriage.

1919

JOHN HENRY MURPHY passed away suddenly on March 10 as the result of a heart attack while attending a hockey game.

Johnnie came to Hanover from the Maiden (Mass.) High School and as an undergraduate achieved about all the honors one could get. He was captain of both freshman and varsity baseball and hockey, president of 1919, class marshal, a member of Palaeopitus, was awarded the Kenneth Archibald Athletic Prize, and was a member of Tri-Kap and Sphinx.

Practically all his business career was spent with the U.S. Rubber Company in Providence, R. I., up to his retirement in 1961 after 41 years of service as assistant plant manager.

He is survived by his widow and two daughters, one of whom is married to Jack Reilly's son. His brother Cornelius F. '17 also survives. The Class was represented at the funeral services by Ed Martin, Bob Proctor, Cotty Larmon, and Jack Reilly. 1919 extends its most sincere sympathy to the family in their great loss.

1920

ERIC CAMP STAHL died March 17 in Tulsa, Okla. He was born in Toledo, Ohio, on June 3, 1897 and prepared for college at the Scott High School. While at Dartmouth he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and during World War I was a pilot.

After graduating from Dartmouth he was in the Stahl Realty Co., then with the Sinclair Oil for about a year. He later joined his brother in the Wm. F. Stahl Insurance Co., and in 1943 formed his own Eric C. Stahl Agency, a general insurance firm, and operated it until about nine months ago when it was merged with the Thomas G. Leslie Agency in which he was a partner.

He married Mary Smith of Tulsa in July 1927. The automobile accident in which they were involved several years ago had severe physical consequences, which put rather an abrupt ending to their many social activities.

Eric was active in civic affairs being past president of the Tulsa Insurance Board, former district chairman of the National Federation of Independent Businessmen, former board member of the Tulsa Junior Chamber of Commerce, and transportation committee chairman of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce. He was a member of the Tulsa Club, Southern Hills Country Club, Sequoyah Yacht Club, Men's Dinner Club and Carson-Wilson American Legion Post.

He had also been a deacon at the First Presbyterian Church. His hobbies were golfing, fishing, yachting, and hunting.

Services were to be held March 21. He is survived by his widow, Mary Smith Stahl, two daughters, two brothers, a sister, and two grandchildren. The Class extends deep sympathy to the surviving members of his family.

1923

RALPH BROWN STALEY died suddenly in june 1965. Word of his death in his sleep, of failure, came from his sister Catherine Staley Hamilton, with whom he made his home in Atlanta, Ga. After the funeral his son Larry returned to live with his mother in California

Art Event supplied the above information and added "I do not know what the records show, but I can say emphatically it should include, "He loved Dartmouth."

In 1955 Ralph wrote that next to Walter and Martha Rahmanop, he and Hazel had the two youngest children of any classmate - two boys Lawrence Eugene, three — and Ralph Darren' two.

Ralph was with the Encyclopedia Americana for many years, with headquarters at Long Beach, Cal. He married Hazel Bennett in 1948, and she and their two sons survive him.

1924

ALAN HONIGSBEEG, whose first name was Abraham until he changed it in 1946, died in Coral Gables, Fla., on March 20 while vacationing there. His home was at 345 West Street Harrison, N. Y.

Born in New York City, "Hone" came from Boys' High School in Brooklyn where his father was a merchant. After graduation he went on to graduate school at Fordham University and then in Paris at the Sorbonne (1928). Dates are missing, but the record mentions working for the Paris edition of the New York Tribune and for Bendix Aviation as an industrial engineer. In 1931, depression times, he was a stockbroker; in 1939 he was listed at New York University Law School, although not mentioned in his record as of 1960. But in 1945 he found his niche with Style-Optics, Inc., manufacturer of frames for eye glasses, of which he became sole owner until he sold it and retired in 1959. In sending in his vita, he wrote the comment that it was "slim, but it's been interesting between the lines." He planned to attend our 40th reunion - and did. One of his close friends, as some know, was Larry Treat, also of New York.

Alan married Irene Anderson in 1935. She and their daughter Emily, born in 1940, survive him, with two sisters and a brother.

1925

HOMER SANFORD TILTON died suddenly from a heart attack on March 20 at Danvers, Mass.

Born May 25, 1903 in Newton, Mass., Homer prepared for Dartmouth at Newton Classical High School. Upon graduation and until he retired in 1950 on account of ill health, he was associated with National Sportsman, Inc. of Kingston and "Hunting and Fishing" magazine.

The Ken Nugents, Herb Talbots, Walter Towers, John Garrod, and Ed Pease represented the Class in paying last respects to a loyal classmate and Dartmouth alumnus.

1926

POBFRT KENDALL MCCONNAUGHEY, Trial Commissioner of the United States Court of Claims, died suddenly of a coronary thrombosis soom after arriving at his office the morning of February 28. This news has come as a great chnck to his many friends and associates.

Bob was born at Dayton, Ohio, June 17 1004 and was president and valedictorian of his high school class. He came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1923 as a transfer from Denison University where he was a three-sport man, and originalla entered in the Class of 1925

On an Outing Club trip to Mt. Washington in February 1924 Bob suffered a near-fatal accident with a broken back that occurred during a elide down Tuckerman's Ravine. Due to the heroic efforts of his fellow Outing Club hikers, after an all-night stay on Mt. Washington, he was finally transported to Berlin, N. H., via snowshoes, toboggans, and stretchers made of jackets, belts, and ski poles. He recovered after a Ion" period of hospitalization which kept him out of college the rest of that year. He was partially paralyzed and walked with two canes the rest of his life. However, he has been able to enjoy his love of the out-of-doors through fishing and shooting. He sketched and carved beautifully and enjoyed his cameras and music. He went on to a life of outstanding service.

Bob returned to Dartmouth as a member of the Class of 1926 with which he graduated magna cum laude. He was a finalist for the Rhodes Scholar appointment from Ohio, and each member of that committee wrote him to say that, but for his accident, he would certainly have been elected; they feared that he would be physically unable to complete the assignment. Bob then entered Harvard Law School from which he received his LL.B. degree in 1929. While there he was a member of Lincoln Inn and of the team which won the Ames Compe- tition.

Bob returned to Dayton to take up the prac- tice of law with his father. He was a trustee of the Dayton Art Institute and taught in the Dayton University Law School. However, in 1934, the action was in Washington, and Bob was lured there by his Harvard friends. This was the beginning of a distinguished career in government. He was a section chief in the Office of Solicitor of Agriculture, and was then detailed to the staff of Senator Wheeler's subcommittee on railroad reorganization.

Bob was invited in 1938 by the then Solicitor General, Robert Jackson, to join his staff to assist in arguing the constitutionality of some of the New Deal legislation before the Supreme Court. This he did with spectacular success. George Wharton Pepper wrote Bob, following a defeat before that Court, "It gives me a certain grim satisfaction to be unhorsed by a member of the oncoming younger generation with such skill in advocacy."

Bob went to the Farm Credit Administration as General Counsel and Deputy Governor. He assisted in drafting the second AAA Act, the Soil Conservation Act, and much of the War Food legislation. From 1944 to 1949 he served as a Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission and acted as chairman in the absence of the official chairman. In 1949 Bob entered into partnership with Francis M. Shea '25 to form the Washington law firm of Shea, Greenman, Gardner and McConnaughey. He was appointed Trial Commissioner of the United States Court of Claims in 1959.

Bob was married in 1941 to Marianne Bell ofSt. Paul, Minn. (LL.B. U. Va.), who was assignedto work on some of his Supreme Court briefs inthe Department of Justice. They have four sons:Robert (Dartmouth '65), John Bell, David, andTerry.

At College, in addition to being a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Bob was a member of BetaTheta Pi, and Casque and Gauntlet.

Intellectual and professional ability one assumes, but Bob was better known for rarer qualities. Legislators knew him for his meticulous skill in draftsmanship, and his scrupulous honesty in preparing and presenting a budget. As a Trial Commissioner and as a practicing attorney, clients, opponents, and litigants commented on his consideration, gentleness and endless patience under the most trying circumstances.

Bob was a man of some contrasts. One sensed his esthetic and spiritual texture, but under it lay an earthy acceptance and wit. He never complained about the injury caused by the fall on Mt. Washington, though when he was teaching one of his boys to dive he once said, "If I could only show him; it is so hard to try to tell him." From the small to the elderly, everyone felt content in his presence, because one sensed his genuine concern for and interest in everyone around him.

Bob was loyal and devoted to Dartmouth College. Our sincerest sympathies go out to Marianne and their sons.

WATSON BRUCE TOMLINSON died of a cerebral hemorrhage on March 2 at his home on Old Zoar Road, Monroe, Conn.

A former member of the Monroe Town Planning Commission and the Monroe "Civic Committee, he also belonged to Pomona Grange and the Algonquin Club of Bridgeport.

Bruce, in his modest and quiet manner was known, by a very few, to have helped several young men attain a college education. He was always a loyal member of 1926, - attended every 5-year class reunion, and was looking forward with keen anticipation to our 40th in June. His indomitable spirit carried him on, month by month, in spite of his physical handicap.

Surviving are his widow, Myrtle Eck Tomlinson, his mother, a daughter, two brothers, F. Byron '35, and Robert D. '38, and several grandchildren.

Our sympathy goes to his wife, Myrtle, his daughter, and other members of his family in their loss of a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and grandpa.
