Her hus- band conducts a painting and paper hang- ing business. Edward Dickinson, always a thinking man, has plenty of time for this favorite diversion. He lives alone on a farm in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Mrs. C. A. Stewart, 27 Lincoln Street, Greenfield, Massachusetts is the present address of our Sadie Miller. She has one daughter who is attending Bay Path Institute fitting herself for a commercial teacher. They also have an adopted son. Mary Reynolds is the wife of William Tilliman, Rector of the Episcopal church at Port Henry, New York. They have two children. 4 Alice Burrington, Mrs. John Temple, has gained a residence in Shelburne Falls having lived there for the past twenty- three years, her husband being in the meat businessj She has three children all of whom have been graduated from Arms. She also has one grand-daughter to her credit. Wishing the Arms Student many success- ful years, We are most sincerely yours, THE CLASS or 1894. 1895 I think the Class of '95 has the distinc- tion of being the smallest class to 'graduate from Arms and, also, of being a hit-a-miss class, as Phillip 'Merrill was the only one to graduate who had been a member the whole four year. The class was formed in the last days of the special class which many of the entering students joined, deciding later on their final class. Among the early members were: Alice Gould Mitchel, who married soon after leaving school, has become the mistress of Mitchel's Strawberry Farm on the Buckland Road. Vivian Griswold Williams of Ridgewood, N. J. left school at the end of the second year to attend board- ing school. Edith Gillett Jones was a member of the class but,did not graduate. She now lives in Shelburne Falls. Frank Innis, another early member, left school the last year to enter Merrick's Clothing Store as a clerk and is now pro- prietor of one of Shelburne Falls' three clothing stores. Maud Davenport Wilder, recently deceased, leaves a son who is a sophomore at Arms. Most of the seven members to graduate joined the class in September 1893. Marion Orcutt Ferguson taught in several local schools, later studying music at Poultney, Vermont. She married Rev. Harry Ferguson, a Methodist preacher of New York State, where they have had a number of pastorates. For nearly four years she has been at her old home in Buckland caring for her father who passed away last October. She is now with her husband in West Chazy, N. Y. She has no children. Elinor Fife Buell is living in Boston where Mr. Buell's business is located but spends her summers at their home in Shelburne Falls, living there most of the time. Her children were attending Arms from which two have graduated and are now in college. Her youngest is in high school. I am unable to hear anything about Blanch Elmer only that she married and went to New York City. Carrie Bolton Kingsley was a success- ful teacher finally marrying and living in Jacksonville, Vermont and later in North Heath where she died in 1914. She had no children. S Mary Gould Davenport taught a short time, then married Walter Davenport of Colrain living a short time in both Colrain and Rowe. They moved to Shelburne in Shelburne and now in the Patten district She has four children all of whom have attended Arms, one graduating in the class of 1922, andlater from M. A.

Didge has not been heard from for several years and no information can be found as to her whereabouts. Luna Johnson married Edward Fuller and moved to Berkeley, California where she still resides. George Merrill made his home in Greenfield for several years as Superinten- dent of the Water Works. Within a few years he and his family have moved to Ware, Massachusetts, where he has a sim- ilar position. Preston Comstock has for a great many years been editor of an Elgin,Illinois, news- paper. He has been in poor health for the past year and a half and is at a camp in Wisconsin where he is recovering from a serious attack of heart trouble. Among the states in the Union honored by the class are Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, and Washington. Somehow the name of Bessie Fisher is always associated with the thought of books, and she is literally Among My Books and is happy in her work with all kinds of books and people. She is in charge of the reading room at the Fellows Athenaeum, one of the larger branches of Boston Public Library system. This branch handles 35,000 books, besides mag- azines. As a diversion she is taking courses in subjects in which she is interested and says to the class that work is a fine thing, and a certain amount of play a fine thing, too. Her present address is 49 Langdon Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He studied law after leaving school and is now living in Becket, Mass., where he has taught the Grammar School in that place in connection with his law practice for several years. He has one son who is a teacher and he has buried a daughter. Phillip Merrill attended and graduated from Worcester Tech. and worked as a civil engineer at Niagara Falls, Indian- apolis, Chicago, Panama, and a number of places in the far West until his health failed. He spent some time on a ranch finally coming back to Shelburne Falls, gm carry on the home place with his brother ay. While none of the class are, or expect to be, in the class of Who's Who we have great hopes for the grand-children of the class. T We have or will have three college grad- uates, one minister, one farmer, one trained nurse, and one still in high school. I speak for the class in wishing we might have a gathering of the Alumni of Arms Academy inthe near future. 1- 1897 Think of it, thirty years ago we were preparing to leave Arms and conquer the world. Perhaps the dreams that we then had have been lost but each one of us has found a place that seemed to need filling. We are doing the work that our hands find to do and we do not believe our lives have been Wasted. This anniversary is a sad one for us. The first break in our ranks occurred in January with the death of Baxter Herbert Newell. Bert was a quiet, unassuming member of our class but few of us would be missed more. After graduating from Arms he attended a business college in Boston and then entered the hardware bus- iness with his father, where he made a name for himself among the trade. He is survived by his wife, and a daughter who is a student at Arms. 1901 This class entered Arms in the fall of 1897 with a membership of nineteen. Of these, ten continued school and were grad- uated. And now, twenty-six years later, all are living. Philip R. Eldridge has always remained in Shelburne Falls. After graduation he entered Jenks' and Amstein's Shoe Store. There he has stayed and is now a partner in the firm. He married his classmate, Cora M. Hallam. She attended North Adams Normal School and taught in the schools of Colrain and Buckland. At the close of her teaching career, she was prin- cipal of the Crittenden School. They live in the Hallam house, which they have pur- chased and remodeled into two modern flats. They have one son, Howard R., who is a member of the class of 1927. A Charles Stewart Holbrook is at 14 Goulding St., Worcester, Mass. He attended Bates College and Boston University. At present, he is Employment Manager of the Worcester Pressed Steel Company. He married Alferetta Jaffrey and they have one son, J. Adams, who is ten years old. Josephine Zrainaig is Mrs. Frank Ryan and lives on Kerr Avenue, Adams, Mass. She attended a business college after grad- uation. She has a daughter, Helen, who is the oldest child of any class-mate. She is employed in Utica, N. Y. There is a son, Clarence, who attends Adams High School. Fred W. Macher lives at 50 Vermont St., Springfield, Mass. He is employed at the United States Arsenal. He is married and has two sons. One is in junior high and the other is four years of age. Leon F. Payne was graduated from Brown University after leaving Arms. He now lives at 1338 Walnut St., Edgewood, Pa. He is Credit Manager of the Carnegie Steel Co., Pittsburge, Pa. He is married and has a son, Leon, Jr., who attends one of the elementary schools in Edgewood, and a daughter, Margaret, who is not yet of school age. if DI TQ EU. s Ei sf Q17 if 35 TQ fl ei T is T. fu' 5 27 :DE TQ TQ Ti -si TQ :il fi sf fl ET I..
