 Fiftf-six freshmen saw each other's faces, and met 
 at prayers for the first time in the old college chapel 
 on the 27th of August, 1862. Four years later — to be 
 exact, on the 12th of July, 1866 — thirty-five of that fifty-six 
 ascended the commencement stage, in the scarcely less 
 ancient village church, and received their first, and to 
 most of them the last, academic degree. With the 
 phalanx who had surmounted the labors, dangers and 
 sufferings of four consecutive years of college life were 
 fifteen others, some adopted from other classes, 
 others fresh accessions to 'Q6, and all welcome to our 
 ranks. During the four years, seventy-six different 
 names were borne on the rolls of '66, and to our lasting 
 credit be it said, very few were removed voluntarily or 
 transferred to those of other classes. Three times 
 during the course we wore the badge of mourning; for 
 Skinner, who died in September, 1863 ; Williams in 
 August, 1864, and Gage, who left college to die at home, 
 so near the day of graduation, that in scant justice to a 
 noble life and a faithful student, the faculty recommended, 
 and the trustees granted the usual degree, and the name 
 of Gage appears starred in our first triennial. 
 
 What has been done since graduation, let the follow- 
 ing pages tell. Each member speaks for himself, and of 
 none can class or college be ashamed. The members of 
 '66, have reduced to practical test the precept of Soc-

 rates enshrined in their class motto, not forgetting either 
 the Scriptural injunction, " Increase, multiply," etc. Two 
 members in the Legislatures of their native States, officials 
 in the civil service, a college president, principals, pro- 
 fessors, and a long roll of "olive branches," show of what 
 stuff the men of '66 are made. 
 
 Two class reunions at Amherst, and two class suppers, 
 have been held at Springfield. At the first, July 7, 1869, 
 twenty-one graduates and former members of the class 
 were present, and at the second, July 13, 1871, sixteen. In 
 1869, Harris succeeded Wood as president, and was in 
 turn succeeded in 1871, by Spear 1st, while the secretary- 
 ship has been vested since graduation in the present 
 incumbent. At the reunion in '71, the class cup, for 
 which appropriation had been made two years before, 
 was presented to Albert Beede Kimball, whose portrait 
 adorns this second volume of Chronicles. Not less in- 
 teresting than the midsummer reunions was an informal 
 and almost impromptu gathering of twelve members of 
 '66 around a common board in New York, last October. 
 Most of the number are permanent residents of the city 
 or its immediate vicinity, and so successful was this first 
 experiment, that the '66 dinner in New York was voted 
 an annual and permanent " institution." The only death 
 among our number since graduation is that of Brayton, 
 which occurred at his home in Utica, N. Y., May 9, 1873.

 ALLEN. 
 
 Allen graduated at Andover in due course, and after a pastorate 
 of nearly three years with the South Congregational Church in 
 Braintree, Mass., resigned May 14, 18*72, on account of ill health. 
 Since that time he has been in Colorado and Europe, returning 
 a few weeks since, " The Oongregationalist " says, much improved 
 in health.

 Brothers of '66 : — 
 
 Those who have the last issue of the Chronicles, know of my 
 chequered experience, previous to that time. Since our last 
 meeting, the hand of an afflictive Providence has fallen heavily 
 on our little family, in that two of our most promising little ones 
 have been taken from us. Since I last met you, my life has 
 been much the same as before, with the exception of the year 1S71. 
 That year I was traveling in the capacity of general agent for the 
 sale of agricultural implements in the New England States. 
 At the expiration of that time I returned to this place, and to 
 the business of furniture finishing, which I have followed here 
 to the present time. How long I may remain here I cannot tell, 
 but wherever I may be, and whatever may be my circumstances, 
 be assured, brothers of '66, you will always meet with a hearty 
 and cordial welcome. With my best wishes for the success and 
 happiness of you all, 
 
 I am your true friend and classmate,

 BALL. 
 
 After leaving college, three years at the seminary, graduating 
 at Hamilton, N. Y., in August, 1869. Then a settlement at Green- 
 field, Mass. Naturally enough (with the help of the priest), I 
 married Miss Helen M. Savage, August, 1870. In December, 
 18*71, I assumed the responsibility of training a " small boy," and 
 am busy most in studying the human nature, or prankiness or 
 depravity of that boy. In June, 18^3, I became pastor of the 
 Baptist Church in Windsor, Vt. A. H. Ball. 
 
 BARLOW. 
 
 Leaving Amherst at the close of the summer term, 1870, I 
 intended to make Boston my home. But before doing so, I 
 received a call to the Professorship of " Rhetoric and Elocution, 
 and of Physical Culture," in Lafayette College. I accepted, but 
 did not enter upon its duties till January, 1871, having spent the 
 autumn in Boston. Besides my regular college work, I am doing 
 some outside, in the way of lectures and readings. (Easton is 
 three hours' ride from New York, and has with Phillipsburg, just 
 across the Delaware river, a population of 30,000. It supports 
 three daily papers, several weeklies, and has a free postal delivery. 
 It has much wealth and culture.) 
 
 I am pleasantly situated, and would be glad to see all of you 
 here. 
 
 Cordially yours, E. Hubbard Barlow. 
 
 Easton, Pa., May 21, 1874. 
 
 BARTLETT. 
 When the last Chronicles of '66, were recorded, I believe, I 
 was a plow-maker, but I soon deemed it best to change my 
 business, and became a broker and dealer in real estate in the city 
 of Minneapolis, Minn. In the last presidential campaign I com- 
 menced the publication of the Daily and Weekly Times in the 
 same city, and remained of the editorial profession until the 1st 
 of January, 1874. Since that date I have not been in any regular 
 business, nor can I at this writing give any accurate information 
 as to plans or prospects. September 15th, 1870, I was married 
 to Miss Julia K. Varney, of Bangor, Maine. We have one child, 
 Nellie, born January 15, 1873. My post-office address will prob- 
 ably be Chicago, as I now expect there to make my future home.

 BELCHER. 
 After leaving college, I at once began the study of law in 
 New London, and was admitted to the bar in September, 1868. I 
 have practiced in New London ever since, at first alone, and for 
 the past two years under the firm name of " Belcher & Butler."' 
 I am a Democrat, and have always been an active politician (as I 
 presume would have been predicted by my classmates from my 
 participation in our unfortunate college politics). I have held 
 various offices in the line of the legal profession, and am this year 
 a member of the Connecticut Legislature. 
 
 BELL. 
 Bell appeared in the last Chronicles as pastor of the Congrega- 
 tional flock at Stafford Springs, Conn. Leaving that charge for a 
 pastorate at Winchester, Ind., he was subsequently settled at 
 Owatonna, Minn. A few months since he sailed for a station in the 
 foreign missionary field, and is now at Mardin, Turkey, among 
 a mixed people, Turks, Koords, and other Arab-speaking natives. 
 
 BISHOP. 
 Bishop is still in business, having changed his base of opera- 
 tions from Boston to Cleveland, 0. No direct information from 
 him has been received, but his family are still residents of Wind- 
 sor, Yt. 
 
 BLAKE. 
 
 As duly narrated in the first issue of our " Chronicles," I sailed 
 for California in May, 1868, after some months spent in rest and 
 travel, and a year devoted to teaching Latin and the natural sci- 
 ences in Kimball Union Academy, at Meriden, N. H. On arriving 
 at San Francisco I entered the law office of my uncle, M. C. Blake, 
 and in April, 18*70, was duly admitted to the bar by the Supreme 
 Court of California. In the autumn of 18*70, I became junior part- 
 ner in the law firm of " M. C. & M. B. Blake." This connection was 
 dissolved at the close of 1871, in consequence of the election of my 
 uncle to the bench. Since then I have practiced law in my own 
 name, and have also had the principal management of the probate 
 business still retained by my former partner. Probate law is there-

 fore still ray specialty, and its quiet routine accords very well with 
 my health and tastes, and has proved moderately profitable thus 
 far. I have had some schemes of literary work ia the line of my 
 profession, and a law publishing house here announces a treatise of 
 mine as " in preparation," but the day of its going to press looks 
 far distant. Prior to leaving New England I had become engaged 
 to Miss Mattie H. Eastman, then of Gilmanton, N. H., and our mar- 
 riage took place at San Francisco, October 17th, 1870. She is the 
 best of wives (no offense intended to married members of the class), 
 and nothing has occurred to mar our felicity except her dangerous 
 illness in the winter of 18*72-3, and her since delicate health. In 
 the summer of 1873 we visited home and friends in New England> 
 and spent a single day at Amherst, in early June. Unfortunately, 
 I met but one or two of my classmates. I have no plans for the 
 immediate future, outside of my profession ; though my health is 
 far from robust, and I may eventually be compelled to " take up 
 the shovel and the hoe," — my case being the converse of " Old 
 Uncle Ned's." However this may be, my path seems likely to con- 
 tinue rather on the byway than on the highway, especially as I 
 have eschewed politics, and have no " ism " to promulgate. My 
 office address is 729 Montgomery street, San Francisco. As I have 
 never been " a householder or freeholder," and as we have had no 
 children, our home is shifting, but at present we are boarding at 
 San Rafael, the pleasantest and healthiest (as I think) of our sub- 
 urban towns. At either place, and both personally and as secre- 
 tary of " The Associated Amherst Alumni of the Pacific Coast," I 
 shall be delighted at any time to welcome anj^ of my classmates 
 who may stray to the far West for recreation, or, better still, for 
 permanent occupation and residence. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 Maurice B. Blake. 
 
 BLISS. 
 
 " How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, 
 When fond recollection recalls them to view." 
 
 To think, boys, that it is a dozen years since we entered old 
 Amherst together. Surely we must have been children a dozen 
 years ago. Perhaps not, however, for we are growing old. I 
 actually found a gray hair on my chin to-day. But to my story. 
 I graduated at Amherst in '66, taught a full term of the High 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 9 
 
 School at Sherborn, Mass., entered Hartford Seminary late in the 
 same year, and graduated at the same, in June, 1869. I spent one 
 summer vacation as colporteur in New Hampshire, and one as 
 supply for the church at Centre Harbor, N. H. I was married 
 November 10, 1869, to Miss Florence A. Russell, of Hartford, 
 and went almost immediately to Centre Harbor, where I labored 
 one year, and was ordained to the ministry while supplying this 
 church. A few weeks after leaving Centre Harbor I was installed, 
 January 11, 1871, over the Congregational Church at South 
 Hadley, Mass. I remained pastor of this church till May, 1873, 
 when I resigned. After my resignation I suffered somewhat from 
 a temporary throat difficulty, and did not seek another settlement. 
 I have not lived in vain. I have as good and loving a wife, and three 
 as fine children — I venture to say as good looking — as any of you. 
 If you don't believe it, come and see. My eldest son, Eddie, now 
 three years and four months, I expect (D. V.) to send aa a 
 missionary in a few years. I don't know what I shall do with 
 May and Frankie. But I must not prolong this letter. You 
 may imagine that having 300 young ladies to oversee, I have 
 become very dignified and sedate. 
 
 With many kind wishes for every member of the dear old 
 class, I say good bye. J. H. Bliss. 
 
 BOARD. 
 It was Board's misfortune, not his fault that he left '66, and 
 graduated with '67. Of what has happened since he writes : 
 " Soon after graduation, I bought an established business in lumber 
 at Chester, N. Y., where I have been, and am still, engaged with a 
 reasonable degree of success. I married, June 3, 1868, Miss 
 Josephine B. Curry, of Sanbornton Bridge (now Tilton), N. H., 
 who died, April 6, of the next year. I was married again Novem- 
 ber 3, 1871, to Miss Hannah Curry, the sister of my first wife, and 
 we have one child — a boy almost two years old," and, as his father 
 says, " a candidate for Amherst College." 
 
 BOND. 
 Bond is still in Chicago in business, keeping books for an agri- 
 cultural implement dealing firm, and, possibly, too busy to report 
 more directly and in detail his situation and circumstances.

 BRADBURY. 
 
 After doing his full share to convert the people of the city of 
 New York from the error of their ways, and with most encourag- 
 ing success too, Bradbury followed the star of empire, and in 
 1872 pitched his tent in the valley of the Solomon river, Kansas. 
 He has charge of two churches, one at Minneapolis and the other at 
 Lindsay, Kansas, and at the '66 dinner in New York, last October, 
 Brad.'s account of his life and adventures on the prairies, was the 
 best thing of the evening. He is fast losing the restless, dis- 
 contented air, which characterized him while in. Amherst, and 
 talks as though he intended to remain permanently among his new 
 people. 
 
 BRAYTON. 
 [By Rev. George Harris.] 
 There was no death among the fifty graduating members of our 
 class until April 9, 1873, when George Brayton went peacefully 
 forth into another life. But one other class of equal number (1837) 
 has been so remarkably spared. After completing his preparation 
 for the ministry, and preaching a short time in Norwood, N. J., 
 Brayton went abroad on account of failing health, but soon returned 
 sufficiently restored, as he thought, to resume the work which 
 he loved. He assumed the pastorate of the Calvary Presbyterian 
 Church in Newark, N. J., and entered on his work with much 
 earnestness and devotion ; but in six short months his health again 
 failed, and he left his church to go to Utica for rest and new 
 strength. Here he failed still more rapidly, and in a few days 
 passed away from earth. During his last hours he had quietness of 
 mind and entire submission to the will of God. The serenity of his 
 death was a fitting conclusion of his consecrated life. Of the result 
 of his work, it is enough to say that his short ministry in 
 Newark was as fruitful of good as are many which continue for 
 years, and that he gained the love of his people as though he had 
 been with them a lifetime. As Brayton's character ripened under 
 the disappointments of sickness and the discipline of preaching, there 
 were two noticeable changes. He gained a larger charity for men. 
 In his college days there were traces of fastidiousness in his judg- 
 ments of others, and a disposition to expose, sometimes to ridicule, 
 their faults. But this tendency gradually gave place to a broad 
 
The following letter, though too late for the Chronicles, is far 
 too good to be lost. — H. L. B. 
 
 Minneapolis, Kansas, June 25th, 18*74. 
 
 I am as healthy as ever, enjoying the breezes of Kansas. I 
 am now a bishop in the Presbyterian Church. My field extends 
 over Ottawa and Lincoln Counties, Kansas. The principal thing 
 1 seem good for is building churches. We have our church at 
 Minneapolis ready for dedication. The church at Lindsey is not 
 yet finished, owing to a change in the town, and we have another 
 church building just started at Lincoln Centre. Besides preaching 
 at these points I care for other places, and have many long 
 journeys. I love my work very much, and hope that I may see 
 more souls saved, for people here are clever but not religious. 
 We need educated ministers in ^Kansas, — hope some of 'Sixty-Six 
 will come out here and work for Jesus. 
 
 Am not married yet, but my prospects here are brighter than 
 ever before, so that by the next class record I shall have enough to 
 tell you. A good friend of mine has promised me a fine parsonage 
 if I do get married. 
 
 Yours in '66, 
 
 H. C. Bradbury.

 sympathy with all kinds of people, so that it became his habit to 
 appreciate good qualities and to take a genuine interest in every 
 person with whom he had anything to do. The other change was 
 in an increased enthusiasm. He was not often roused in college, 
 but the work of preaching stimulated him greatly, so that he be- 
 came a devoted, earnest, enthusiastic man, capable even of calling 
 out the enthusiasm of others. In a word, his character became 
 more mature, not only in thought, but also in sympathy and in 
 purpose. We cannot but feel that if Brayton's life had been spared 
 he would have become eminent in his profession, and that he would 
 have been a classmate of whom we should be proud, but we shall 
 always remember him with tenderness, and shall acknowledge that 
 by the tests of genuineness and fidelity and love for men, his life 
 was a success. 
 
 BRIDGMAN. 
 From Springfield and The Republican to New York in February, 
 1870, as agent of the New England Associated Press ; to Washington 
 in September, 1871 , as correspondent of the Boston. Daily Advertiser; 
 to New York again in September, 1873, and a connection with The 
 Tribune in its business department. Such is the outline since '69. 
 Eight years in journalism have probably established me in that vo- 
 cation beyond recovery — certainly at present I have no desire to 
 leave it. My residence since Springfield has been in Brooklyn ; and 
 at 604 Carlton Avenue, or wherever else she may lead me, every 
 member of '66 will find us always at home. 
 
 BROWN. 
 I really have nothing of interest to say in addition to that 
 stated in the first volume of Chronicles. Same place, same busi- 
 ness, about five years older, though still young — not knowing but 
 that something eventful may happen to me before long. Very 
 truly yours, S. Wallet Bkown. 
 
 CHANDLER. 
 My Dear Classmates : — 
 
 My story is a short one. After leaving college, you remember, 
 I taught the junior classicals at Willistoh seminary, Easthampton, 
 Mass., and for the next two years was principal of the Hopkins 
 
12 CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 
 
 Academy High School at Hadley, Mass. ; I spent the autumn and 
 winter teaching in Glen wood ladies' seminary, West Brattleboro, 
 Vt., and in the spring of 1870 started a young ladies' school at North- 
 ampton, Mass. (Norwood Institute), with every prospect pleasing. 
 Bu+ after two years of prospecting without finding gold, except as 
 a negative quantity, and receiving an offer from Mr. Bowles, I came 
 to Springfield and engaged as one of the corps of The Republican. 
 Here I still continue, fighting the traditional wolf. I am blessed 
 with a happy home, and we — wife, daughter and self — should be 
 pleased to see any of you. Yours in '66, C. H. Chandler. 
 
 COLE. 
 Cole, first of '66 in the missionary field, is still at his post, Erz- 
 room, Turkey. A long and interesting letter from him, full of 
 kindly regard and remembrance for '66, was read at the class re- 
 union in '71, and any members passing through Erzroom are cor- 
 dially invited to visit the missionary at home. 
 
 COOLEY. 
 Cooley merely writes : " I am with the Medlfcott Company, 
 hosiery manufacturers, Windsor Locks, Conn., where I have been 
 for the last three years," from which we judge that the spinning of 
 yarns, is not a part of their business. 
 
 COWAN. 
 P. D. C. is a minister of the " Presbyterian Church of the 
 United States of America," also editor of a paper of eight pages, 
 published monthly in the interests of the Presbyterian Church, 
 and named " The Record." Spent first and third year of the semi- 
 nary course at Union Theological Seminary, New York, and the 
 middle year at Princeton, N. J. ; graduated at Union Seminary 
 1869; took charge of Pogersville and Newmarket churches, East 
 Tennessee, July, 1869; president of Rngersville female college 
 1871-2; took charge of Jonesboro' church, December 1, 1872.

 CURTISS. 
 Curtiss left college for a year on account of ill health, during the 
 spring term of 1864, and returning, graduated in due course with 
 '67. In the autumn of the same year he entered Union Theological 
 Seminary of New York city; was for two years tutor in the Rev. 
 Dr. John Hall's family ; and in 1869, became acting pastor of the 
 Alexander Mission, King street, which is under the patronage of 
 the Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street Church. He graduated 
 from the seminary May 9th, 18*70, and was married on the 10th to 
 Mrs. Laura W. Sessions of Boston (maiden name Walker). He 
 -left the Alexander Mission, April 15th, "72; sailed for Europe 
 May 18th, and about the last of June took up a nine months' resi- 
 dence in Rome, only broken by a brief tour in Italy. While there 
 enjoyed the acquaintance of Dr. Christlieb, and translated the 
 chapter on miracles in the " Modern e Zweifel," which, by an over- 
 sight, is not credited to him by the editor. He removed to Leip- 
 sic April 16th, 18*73, and attended lectures at the University. In 
 the autumn he resumed the study of Hebrew, under Dr. Biesenthal, 
 one of the finest Rabbinical scholars in Europe, and at the same 
 time enjoyed the acquaintance and criticism of Prof. Delitzsch. 
 On the 1st of January, 1874, in conjunction with others, Curtiss 
 started an American service in Leipsic, which gives promise of 
 permanence. He returned to America in April, 1874, and was or- 
 dained by the Presbytery of New York, in the city, June 8th, with 
 special reference to the work of an evangelist in Leipsic, while pur- 
 suing studies bearing upon Old Testament exegesis and criticism. 
 He sailed from New York, June 20th, on the Neckar, intending to 
 remain abroad two years or more. 
 
 DAME. 
 
 Lowell, Mass., June S, 1874. 
 After leaving college, I entered the Theological School at New 
 Hampton, N. H., where I graduated in July, 1868. I was ordained 
 October 28th, 1868, and then took the pastoral charge of a church 
 in Danville, Vt., where I remained two years. I received a call 
 from the Free Baptist Church in this city in February, 1873, which 
 I accepted, entering upon my labors here in November the same 
 year. I was married March 4th, 1874, to L. Lillian Montgomery, 
 of Strafford, N. H. Yours, very truly, J. E. Dame.

 DAVISON. 
 So long as the secretary remained in Springfield, lie had Davi- 
 son frequently under his eye, his watch and jewelry store being 
 near by and on Main street. The place that in those days knew 
 Davison now knows him no more, and late information of him is 
 wanting. Having been, however, "when we were boys together," 
 the oldest man in the class, he is probably old enough now to take 
 care of himself, and do it well. 
 
 DIKE. 
 
 My time since leaving Amherst has been mainly occupied with 
 teaching, having been for two years at Ellington, Conn., directly 
 after leaving college, and having taught, more recently, a year at 
 Tarrytown, on the Hudson. Since leaving the latter place, I have 
 been engaged in the same profession in this city, and for a period 
 of three years have met with some success, mainly as a private in- 
 structor.

 FAIRBANKS. 
 After leaving college, I had charge of the High School at 
 South Hadley Falls for two years, and left that position to take 
 charge of the Union School in Norwalk, Conn. I have enjoyed 
 my residence in Norwalk. My duties, though arduous, have been 
 pleasant; and the results of my labors have been to a great extent 
 satisfactory to myself, and, I trust, of lasting benefit to the rising 
 generation. I have under my charge between four and five hun- 
 dred scholars. I spend a portion of my time in teaching, and the 
 remainder in directing the work of teachers associated with me. 
 I enjoy teaching, otherwise I should have given up the profession 
 long ago. And I think I may safely say that it agrees with me. 
 I have done an immense amount of work in the six years I have 
 been here ; and, while I have not grown rich, have received a 
 fair compensation. I have visited our Ahna Mater but few times 
 since we graduated ; but I have lost none of my interest in the 
 members of '66. It would give me pleasure to welcome any one 
 
 of them to my home. 
 
 FISH. 
 On account of failing health, I left the class of '68, in the winter 
 of 1866, and spent nearly six years in the Middle, Western, and 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF , 66. 15 
 
 New England States, in doing- little or nothing, waiting for strength 
 to work in the Master's vineyard. One year ago last fall the way 
 was opened, and since then I have been at work as hard as my 
 physical powers will allow. Two months my work was given to a 
 mission field, when I went to Belfast, Me., to take charge of the 
 Baptist church in that city, where I remained till last July, when, 
 finding that I was working too hard, I accepted a situation in this 
 city for one year, as missionary for Harvard street Baptist church, 
 In both places God has blessed my efforts. It is quite probable 
 that before the class comes together, in July, I shall have sought a 
 field of labor elsewhere, as I much prefer to throw myself more 
 entirely into the work. 
 
 I married last February a widow lady, Mrs. Malvina K. Fletcher, 
 of Northport, Me. ; and we have one daughter nine years of age.

 city, in the service of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.

 After graduation, I spent four years in teaching — the first two 
 in a public school in Fredonia, Del., the others in the Milford Clas- 
 sical Institute, a private select school in Milford, Kent Co., Del. 
 While engaged in the latter place, I became engaged to Miss Annie 
 E. Foulk, oldest daughter of Col. J. Y. Fonlk, of that town. Dur- 
 ing the fall of my last year there, my determination to study the- 
 ology became fixed, but, being unable to disengage myself from my 
 school, I pursued my studies privately with my father during that 
 year. On the 20th of April, 1870, I was licensed to preach by the 
 Presbytery of Wilmington, in session at Milford, and during that 
 summer I preached within its bounds. In September, 1870, I en- 
 tered the Middle Class in Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, and at 
 the close of that year became stated supply of the First Congre- 
 gational Church in Huntsburgh, Geauga Co., Ohio. January, 1872, 
 I returned to Lane, graduating May 9th, 1872. Immediately after, 
 I returned to Huntsburgh, where I remained till February 1st, 1873. 
 About the first of January, 1873, I received a call from the West- 
 minster Presbyterian Church, a new enterprise in Georgetown, 
 Kent Co., Md., which I accepted, and removed to Maryland early 
 in February. May 13th I was ordained by the Presbytery of New 
 Castle, and installed pastor over this church, which position I now 
 occupy. On the 27th of July, 1871, I was married in Milford to 
 Miss Foulk, during my first year in Huntsburg. Our first year and 
 a half of married life was spent in Ohio. Since that we have both 
 been " Marylanders." We have one little girl, Mary Ellison, born 
 in Huntsburgh, December 2d, 1872. My life, thus far, since I left 
 college, has been " in pleasant places." I have had pleasant fields 
 of labor, have heartily enjoyed my work, and I believe it has not 
 been altogether without its precious fruit. " The Lord is my 
 Shepherd ; I do not want." 
 
 HARRIS. 
 Harris writes from Providence, R. I. : '"I left Auburn, Maine, 
 in January, 1872, and became pastor of the Central Congregational 
 Church in this city, February 20th, 1872. Besides my marriage, I 
 have nothing of particular interest to communicate." 
 
 HORTOX. 
 One year ago, Horton was a conductor on the Central Pacific 
 Railroad of California, unless the Amherst alumnus, who says he

 he still remains in the service of the Company the secretary is 
 unable to learn.

 KIMBALL. 
 My Bear Classmates : 
 
 I have no remarkable events to chronicle. I've had just about 
 a fair average sort of life since our meeting at Springfield. Those 
 of you who were present at that time may remember that I had 
 just been appointed Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the 
 Worcester Institute of Industrial Science. I served in that capac- 
 ity one year, and then was appointed Professor of Physics. I also 
 superintend the work of our special chemists, but give no instruc- 
 tion in chemistry. In my own department I -have no recitations, 
 two illustrated lectures per week, and the care of the Physical 
 Laboratory. For outside work I give several short courses of lec- 
 tures on Physics and Chemistry in the neighboring schools, and 
 have worked into quite a little business of Chemical Analysis. I'm 
 very pleasantly situated in the school : two Amherst boys, besides 
 myself, on the Faculty — E. P. Smith, of '65, Professor of Modern 
 Languages, and T. E. N. Eaton, of '68, Assistant Professor of Mathe- 
 matics. The next morning after our meeting at Springfield, in 
 "71, I was married! Her name was Ellie M. Everett, class of '69, 
 Instructor Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, and daughter of Rev. J. S. 
 Everett (class of '43, Amherst) and formerly missionary in Turkey. 
 We have one son, six months old, who, like his elder brother, the 
 class boy, is " a remarkable child." The class boy aforesaid is a 
 stout, active fellow, six and a half years old, well up in his " ele- 
 ments," and bids fair to stand higher in some future Amherst class 
 than his father stood in '66. He has spent the spring in the wilds 
 of northern New Hampshire, far from the footsteps of photogra-

 phers, so I am obliged to send an old picture to be copied for our 
 records. It was a very good picture two years ago, but the boy 
 does not always look so sober. He evidently thought it a solemn 
 occasion. Call when you are in "Worcester. I live at No. 28 
 Boynton street. Sincerely yours, A. S. Kimball. 
 
 KING. 
 
 I left Amherst at the close of Freshman 3 T ear, in 1863. During 
 the following winter I was merchandising in Northern Ohio. Re- 
 turning to New York in the following spring, I was in Wall street 
 for a year. In the spring of 1866 I came to West Virginia, and 
 manufactured salt for six years ; have been manufacturing cooper- 
 age for the past three years. On the 6th of June, 18*70, I married 
 Julia, youngest daughter of the late Charles B. Goddard, of Zanes- 
 ville, Ohio. We have one child, Georgiana, born August 5th, 1871-

 A somewhat incomplete letter, headed " John W. Marsh, At- 
 torney at Law and Financial Agent, 135 Clark street, Chicago, 
 III., February 23, 1874," having been returned for additions, they 
 came promptly under date of March 2d, 1874, with this interesting 
 note: 
 
 " Since writing you, I have the pleasure of adding another 
 item. The young man came not quite unexpectedly. Weighed 
 nine pounds, and seems to possess plenty of the animal spirits that 
 used to get his father into so much trouble. Yours in '66,

 Chicago, May 20th, 18*74. f 
 The story of one day's experience would cover nearly the whole 
 time. It is nothing but the routine of an office life, varied occa- 
 sionally by a political campaign, and the subsequent scramble for 
 position, in which I have always been among the lucky ones. Be- 
 sides this, I can recall nothing but my marriage, and the birth of 
 my children, one of whom is now nearly five, the other two and 
 one-sixth years of age. 
 
 MORRILL. 
 Not much is to be stated in my case beyond the two facts, that 
 I am still collecting the revenues of this great and growing coun- 
 try, and still striving to maintain a great and growing family. Of 
 course, I have hopes and aspirations beyond, but choose rather to 
 bear the ills I have, (fee. (see Hamlet). Can be found somewhere in 
 New York or Brooklyn by application at the custom house. Latch- 
 string always out where we should be pleased and honored with a 
 visit at any time from any of the gentlemen of " '66."

 After graduating from college, I attended one year's course of 
 study at Hartford Theological Institute; was head master of St. 
 Clement's School, East Medway, Mass., for one year; then in 
 Delaware, I "kept" the Milford High School during the winter of 
 1868-69 ; was ordained deacon in the Protestant Episcopal Church 
 in December, 1868, and was sent to preach in various places in 
 Southern Delaware during the spring and summer of 1869. In the 
 autumn of 1869, I was called to Lake Mohegan, near Peekskill, N. 
 Y., to take charge of a church and parish, and to assist in teaching 
 Lake Mohegan School. I was ordained presbyter in the Protes- 
 tant Episcopal Church in October, 18*70; married Miss Helen Ved- 
 der, of Utica, N. Y., July 18, 18T1, and am to-day the father of two

 NEILL. 
 The Presbyterian pastorate at Fort Edward, in which the 
 Chronicles of '69 left Neill, still continues, and reports agree as to 
 the edification and complete satisfaction of all concerned. 
 
 NO YES. 
 
 I have spent most of my time since graduation in Baltimore. 
 For some time I was an assistant of the Pastor of the Green St. 
 Presbyterian Church ; after his resignation I was elected pastor of 
 the church, being installed February 25, 1869. I remained in 
 charge of this church till the 1st of June, 1873, when, having re- 
 ceived a call to the pastorate of the Aisquith St. Presbyterian 
 Church of Baltimore, I entered on my new duties, being installed 
 on the 10th of June. With the exception of a few weeks of sick- 
 ness and annual vacations, which I take as a matter of conscience, 
 I have been able to work on without interruption. I have not 
 changed materially in my tastes, feelings and principles, save as I 
 think every man should change, by growing up into broader views 
 and more liberal ideas ; I do not mean liberal ideas as interpreted 
 by illiberal liberals. My life is made up of composing sermons, 
 visiting the sick — I think the well are able to care for themselves — 
 delivering addresses of various kinds, lecturing sometimes, now 
 and then writing an article for the papers, reading most every- 
 thing I can get hold of, but maintaining most consistently the 
 principles of my college life — not to touch anything that has 
 about it the smell of mathematics, pure or impure. 
 
 As you see, I have a family, in which is my chief delight. 
 May ye who have none soon have one. I could write much of 
 my experience, but will write no more. If any of you will call at 
 135 Aisquith St., Baltimore, where all of you will ever be most 
 cordially welcomed, I will relate to you more fully my history 
 and prospects. S. D. Notes.

 PAINE. 
 For nearly four years after graduation I labored hard and 
 gained a suitable reward both in reputation and money in teach- 
 ing, a short time in Dayton, Ohio, a year in Muncie, Ind., and 
 two in Columbus, Ohio. Meanwhile I loved and won as my bride 
 Mary E. Craig. We were married June 30, 1868. 
 
 In the fall of "70 I bade farewell, as I thought, to the profession 
 in which life has always been pleasant to me, and with my wife 
 and little one went across the continent in search of a gentler 
 clime and a more active and vigorous occupation. In San Ber- 
 nardino County, Cal., the largest in the Union, I took a piece of 
 good "Uncle Sam's" land and essayed its culture. The first year 
 hungry cattle, and the second devouring grasshoppers consumed the 
 goodly results of my labors. I had meanwhile disposed of all my 
 corn, and so I betook myself again to the profession I had for- 
 saken, and established " Paine's Academy," where I still hold sway. 
 I am gathering all my forces for a soon-to-be-renewed start in 
 agriculture, and am all the while a zealous student of the two 
 'ologies inseparable here — hydrology and pomology. Should the 
 wandering creatures of God let me fairly begin, I expect to de- 
 vote the most of the remaining period of my life to the culture of 
 those choice and precious plants for which this region is famous. 
 
 Two more daughters have come to breathe the Californian air. 
 The names and ages of the fair and healthy trio are, Winifred 
 Mabel, 5 years, Gertrude, 2£, and Alice, -J year old. Should I 
 tell you what a pleasant part of earth this is, it might make you 
 discontented, so I forbear.

 PEIRCE. 
 After spending- two years in the Brooklyn City Hospital, I 
 entered upon private practice at Perth Amboy, N. J.; but remained 
 there for a year only. I moved then to my present location in 
 the upper part of New York city, where I shall in all probability 
 remain for some time to come. I hare been hypothetical^ 
 married six or seven times by the gossips in the various neigh- 
 borhoods where I have resided since leaving college. As yet, this 
 shadow of matrimony has sufficed for the substance, and as far as I 
 know, bids fair to, though somebody may have plans for me that I 
 know nothing about. I am ready, can't say willing, to be led like 
 a lamb to the slaughter, but it does look as though it would be a 
 long time before I voluntarily slip the noose around my own neck 
 and pay a minister to pull at the other end and raise me off the 
 platform of bachelorhood and drop me into the eternity of married 
 life. Yours truly, H. T. P. 
 
 PELTON. 
 
 The eight years that have passed since my " career " opened 
 cannot, I think, be included in the description in the circular be- 
 fore me, " important and eventful to each, and interesting to all." 
 In a certain sense, truly these years have been important to me, 
 for I could not with comfort have dispensed with them, but they 
 have been in no manner eventful, and will be interesting only to 
 those few who have a personal interest in the writer's welfare. A 
 reperusal of the former Chronicles has convinced me that an- 
 nouncements of future intentions had better be omitted as those 
 which I so boldly and confidently made before have so soon 
 failed of fulfillment. I have too vivid a remembrance of revieivs 
 to linger over that portion of my story and it shall be most appro- 
 priately a brief one. 
 
 I spent the first two years after graduation in the study of law 
 in New York city; was admitted to the bar of New York in May, 
 1868 ; remained in that city pursuing the same profession for three 
 years afterward, and then turned back and placed my foot again 
 upon my native heath. Since July, '71, I have been a resident of 
 Poughkeepsie, being engaged in the manufacturing business in that 
 place. As to home relations, my position is unchanged ; while 
 others have been surrendering, ofttimes to smaller and " weaker 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 23 
 
 vessels," my flag still waves. However, I am mindful of the 
 Scripture injunction " boast not thyself of to-morrow, " and so 
 make no promises. I have not yet nailed the colors to the mast. 
 Extraordinaries excepted, and Providence being favorable, when 
 the slogan of '66 sounds next summer, I shall respond.

 Denver, Colo., April 25, 1874. 
 A desire to hear from my classmates of eight years ago 
 prompts me to respond in brief to your circular letter. After 
 graduating, I spent three years in teaching, most of the time in St. 
 Louis. I was married in 186*7, became paterfamilias in 1869, and 
 reported myself accordingly. My health became so far impaired 
 from hereditary and acquired disposition to consumption that I 
 abandoned teaching at that time, and for nearly two years was as- 
 sistant manager of a prominent life insurance companj' in Missouri. 
 Financially, I was successful in the new field of labor, but phys- 
 ically, I was constantly on the decline, till in 1871 1 fled to Colorado 
 to prolong life. I " enjoy poor health " here, but it is much better 
 than none, and I hope to live long enough to have it said of me, 
 " He has seen many a better man go under since his day was fairly 
 passed. His body was disposed of by the popular method of cre- 
 mation. Peace to his ashes." With the best wishes of myself, my 
 wife, and two children, for the prosperity and glory of the class of 
 .'66 and its posterity, I am, fraternally and eternally yours,

 since then. I hardly know of anything- worthy a place in the much- 
 prized "Chronicles." Since coming to this place, a church has 
 been formed, which now numbers one hundred and six ; a church 
 building was erected wh':ch burned March 14th, 18*72. We have 
 just erected another on its site, of brick, costing some $15,000. I 
 don't know that the class know it, but I have always felt the 
 warmest gratitude towards '66, for their kindness and cordiality 
 towards me, coming into the class, as I did, only a short time prior 
 to graduation. I hope to meet the class ere long, and say this 
 much in person. Very truly yours, J. C. Plumb. 
 
 RAND. 
 Mavlmain, Burmah, April loth, 1874. 
 
 Here I sit, four doors and two windows wide open, the cool 
 breeze of a coming thunder shower fanning my " marble brow/' 
 and still, the thermometer over my shoulder is struggling along in 
 the nineties, and the sweat stands out in big drops on the aforesaid 
 " brow," reminding one of a hot July day in commencement week 
 at old Amherst. It will be five years in December since we left 
 New York, dropping down with the afternoon tide out into 
 the busy harbor, and away till the spire of old Trinit}' was lost 
 to sight, although to memory dear. Outside we found the wind 
 blowing. It was a cold, disagreeable, raw, December, " narsty," 
 wind. It shrieked through the rigging, and the sailors did the 
 same through their wind-pipes. The billows also rolled. We 
 " sat upon the quarter-deck," or, rather, paced it, and endeavored 
 to smile at each other with cheerful countenances. But it was use- 
 less. It was impossible to keep off the feeling of utter w retch- 
 
 edness, and so we went below to our cabins, to meditate. 
 
 We were obliged to stop at London a few days. We saw its 
 vastness and murkiness, and a little of its snobbishness. Notwith- 
 standing the " effete monarchy," we found the city much better 
 governed, and cleaner than the boasted metropolis of the " Great 
 Republic." In the few days spent there, we " did " the Crystal 
 Palace, Kensington Museum, Madam Tassaud's Wax-Works, and 
 capped the climax, literally as well as figuratively, by going on top 
 of the big meeting-house which stands conspicuous in that over- 
 grown village. 
 
 We sailed again from Southampton, ate oranges at Gibraltar, 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 25 
 
 went ashore a few hours at Malta, strolled along the streets of this 
 ancient city of Valetta, saw its old churches and paintings, and 
 then in a few days we landed at Alexandria. Here, the rabble of 
 dirty Arabs, clamoring for the privilege of carrying our baggage, 
 reminded us of some phases in the life of our own dear native city. 
 (Of course, New York has greatly improved of late.) Across the 
 isthmus by rail, down the Red sea, a short stop at arid Aden, out 
 into the Indian ocean, two days inhaling the "spicy breezes" of 
 Ceylon, a brief call at the port of Madras, and then a few days' run 
 to the "City of Palaces." Here we wait a few days for the 
 steamer, and four days bring us to Rangoon, the city of the Golden 
 Pagoda. Here we wait three wetks for orders, and then another 
 day by steamer brings us to our destination. 
 
 There, it has taken this whole sheet of paper to tell how we 
 got around into this little corner of the world, and yet it is not so 
 very insignificant a corner, after all. I wonder why it is travelers 
 give us the go-by so often, for there is much that is interesting, 
 amusing, entertaining and instructive, that has never yet appeared 
 in print, to my knowledge. Prof. Seelye ought to have visited 
 Burmah, to see some phases of heathenism that he could not see 
 in India. Dr. Hitchcock came near enough to visit us by proxy, 
 but we should have been glad to see his own face. 
 
 This city of Maulmain contains nearly, if not quite, *70,000 in- 
 habitants. It is the largest emporium of teak timber, which is ex- 
 ported in large quantities to Bengal and England. At present 
 there is a very lively trade in rice, on account of the recent famine 
 in India, the last crop in Burmah having been remarkably produc- 
 tive. Of the inhabitants, the higher officials and prominent busi- 
 ness men are English or German. Many of the traders are Jews 
 and Parsees, or sometimes Hindoos. I suppose there are nearly 
 twenty different languages spoken in this city. There are all 
 shades of complexion, from the fair, but somewhat florid English- 
 man, down to the coal-black African. The conflict of races has 
 already commenced. John Chinaman is here to make the shoes, 
 and do the work of carpenters and blacksmiths, and the hard part 
 of agricultural labor, and the fisheries are fast going into the hands 
 of the hardy coolies from the other coast, who can stand the heat 
 much better than the Burmese. The Burmese themselves are an 
 indolent, lazy set, good natured and always willing to have others 
 do their work for them, while they rest and play. They have the 
 3 
 
26 CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF "66. 
 
 advantage of possession now, but a generation or two will undoubt- 
 edly tell a different story. Miscegenation also will work a change. 
 Already there is a large population of Caucasians, children of En- 
 glish officers and traders, by Burmese or Indian mothers. Some 
 of these grow up to be eminently respectable, and occupy high 
 positions in office and society. Others are the waifs, drifting often 
 into the homes, called " orphanages," provided for them by the 
 Establishment, the Catholics, and other charities. 
 
 Polygamy is tolerated by the religion of the country, and it 
 would almost seem to the casual observer that the English officials 
 and trader had " exercised their privileges" in this direction to a 
 greater extent than the natives themselves. Still, many of the 
 officials are married and bring their wives with them, and others 
 are sometimes legally married to Burman wives. John Chinaman 
 follows the example of his superior, and takes to himself a Burmese 
 wife, and occasionally you see a Kolah with a Burman spouse. 
 
 But, enough of this. Another sheet almost gone, and I have 
 not told you about the work which more especially occupies our 
 attention. 
 
 Without being too particular concerning the historj r of the past, 
 it is safe to say, that, at present, the Burmese, Talaings, and Karens 
 are indigenous to the country. Both the former have loDg had 
 written characters, but Burmese is at present the spoken and 
 written language of the country, as English is the spoken language 
 of America. The Karens are divided into a dozen or more 
 branches, but the principal ones in British Burmah, are the Sgau 
 aud the Pwo. The former are sometimes called Burman, and the 
 latter Talaing Karens. These people had no written language, 
 but handed down their traditions from father to son. Kev. Dr. 
 Wade, cotemporaneous with Dr. Judson, was the first to reduce 
 their language to writing, and Dr. Francis Mason, who recently 
 died at Rangoon, did the greater part of the work of translating 
 the Bible. There is about as much difference between the Sgau 
 and Pwo, as there is between the English and the French. The 
 former has the whole Bible translated, aud quite a number of books 
 besides. These people, especially the Sgaus, formerly lived in 
 dread of the Burmese rulers, and were found in most abundance 
 among the mountains. They were timid, retiring, somewhat 
 clannish aud nomadic in their habits. They would build a house 
 in one day, good enough to last one season, and then depart to 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 27 
 
 some more eligible locality. They retain many of their habits at 
 present, but the traditions are fast being lost. They are now a 
 very hospitable people, very filthy in some of their habits, and 
 superstitious as the devil. (I use that expression advisedly and 
 not irreverently, for they do really worship the Devil.) But a 
 change is gradually taking place. Since the introduction of 
 Christianity, and the advent of British authority, nearly 20,000 
 of this people have become Christians, and perhaps twice or three 
 times as many more have become Buddhists. Still, many retain 
 their habits of demon worship, and there is often a curious 
 mixture of Demonism and Buddhism, as an intelligent Karen 
 expressed it the other day. 
 
 Among the Christians, a change has taken place in the manner 
 of building. Many have built or are building substantial houses 
 of teak, with shingled roofs and solid iron-wood posts. They 
 already have scores of chapels built by themselves, with no help 
 from America. The people support their pastors and village 
 schools, and give largely for the schools in town and for home and 
 foreign mission purposes. The largest mission station is at 
 Bassein, where there are about 6,000 Christians, who expend 
 annually nearly $10,000 for religious and educational purposes. 
 I visited this place a few years ago, when it was under the 
 care of my old friend, Rev. C. II. Carpenter, who has just returned 
 from America. At that time the school was in session, between 
 one and two hundred pupils being present. I heard a class recite 
 Euclid in English, more intelligently than some of us used to 
 recite to Prof. Snell. And I heard singing better than you hear 
 at half the singing schools in America. 
 
 Then there is at Rangoon, another large station, under the care 
 of Rev. J. B. Vinton, who was born here in the country, and who 
 speaks the language better, and has more knowledge of the 
 Karens, and their habits and customs, than any other man now 
 living. And I suppose it is safe to say, he has killed more 
 elephants and tigers and deer, than any other man in Burmah. 
 He has trained a brass band of fifteen pieces, and now, after scarcely 
 a year's practice, they can play much better than the average 
 country band in America. (Perhaps I have in mind the " Belcher- 
 town sheet iron band " which used to hold forth at junior ex- 
 hibitions.) This Karen band played last year with great " eclat," 
 before the Chief Commissioner, who is decidedly the " biggest 
 
28 CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 
 
 toad " in this part of the " puddle." He had the same salary as 
 the President of the United States, before the " salary grab " was 
 passed. 
 
 This station where w r e are is one of the smallest in Burmah, 
 there being less than one thousand Christians, scattered about in 
 fifteen or twenty different hamlets. To reach them all requires 
 nearly a thousand miles of travel by boat or elephant, or on foot. 
 Come around some fine morning and try it. We will do all we can 
 to make you happy and contented, and show you the " lions." 
 
 " And what can 1 say more." Time would fail me to speak of 
 the customs and habits, the climate and produce, the fauna and 
 flora, the beautiful orchids, the wonderful caves, the majestic 
 mountains, the huge serpents, the pestiferous ants, and the thrilling 
 adventures with the wild beasts of the forest. 
 
 Class-mates, I give you my hand. Don't squeeze it, for I am a 
 little lame ; but although this hot climate has made me somewhat 
 dry and weazened outside, I am all right inside. My heart beats as 
 warm as ever for old Amherst and '66. In my dreams I am more 
 often there than at any other place, and your faces are sometimes 
 wonderfully familiar. 
 
 I wish it were possible to be present at the meeting, but as it 
 isn't, I delegate you to shake hands all around for me. Give them 
 all my warmest greeting. Tell them not to forget me, and ask 
 those who are in the habit of saying their prayers every morning 
 to put in a petition for me occasionally. I need help to keep from 
 becoming a heathen myself. Yours very truly, 
 
 S. B. Rand. 
 
 ROE. 
 A brief sojourn as teacher in Springfield, Ohio, and another 
 short interval devoted to the successful treatment of both eyes for 
 soft cataract, comprise the time previous to entering upon business 
 in April, 1869. No ambition has called from the farm, nor have 
 I stayed in all the way to take a wife. I have been prospered in 
 health and business, and extend a hearty greeting to all my fellows 
 of '66. (" Row, brothers, row," for Roe says it.) My farm life 
 does not bring to notice many incidents interesting to professional 
 men, but it is full of interest to me, and affords me hard work and 
 a wide field of influence. God's richest blessing upon you all.

 Brooklixe, N. H., February, 18*74. 
 Dear Classmates : 
 
 As the first volume of Chronicles stated, I spent the three 
 years after leaving Amherst at the Theological Schools in Newton 
 and Andover, graduating at Andover in July, '69. The following 
 September I accepted the call of the Congregational Church in 
 Brookline, N. H., to become their pastor, and was ordained and 
 installed over this church, October 19, 1869. I was married Oc- 
 tober 20, and the following day we commenced life in our new 
 home. In our family i*ecord you may read : " Bertha Louise 
 Sargent, born March 19, 1873." There are no other blessings in 
 that line as yet. When I came to Brookline my purpose was, 
 first, to find out if I could preach, and second, if successful on the 
 first point, to aid a feeble church in gaining strength and courage. 
 Three years was the limit, in my own mind, of my stay here, but 
 the three have lengthened into almost five, and I know not now 
 when I shall depart. "With a prosperous and united people, a 
 happy home, a good wife, a baby that looks just like her mother, a 
 horse and carriage, the latter a Christmas gift from my people, a 
 small salary, and a contented heart, what shall I ask more ? If 
 any of you can tell, please communicate with your classmate ,

 SEIPLE. 
 The Tiffin (0.) postmaster refuses to deliver prepaid mail mat- 
 ter addressed to '* Henry F. Seiple, Esq.," and the inference is, that he 
 doesn't live there any longer. Letters addressed to Seiple at 
 Weaversville, Northampton Co., do not return, nor do they bring 
 any answer. The inference, therefore, which is sustained by not 
 very direct information is, that Seiple has returned to his native 
 " State and is practicing its laws for their mutual benefit.

 Recording himself as " Superintendent Roberts' Paper Mill,

 SMITH (1st). 
 
 Dating his letter at Yarmouthport, Mass., Smith 1st, thus suc- 
 cinctly sums his post-graduate life : 
 
 I have taught school since I graduated, in Med way, North An- 
 dover, Andover, Bernardston, and Yarmouth. I have been princi- 
 pal of the High School in each place. My wife died in Bernardston. 
 My success in teaching has been satisfactory, and 1 sincerely hope 
 I have done some good. Very truly, S. G. Smith. 
 
 SMITH (2d). 
 
 Smith went out of New York harbor on the good steamer 
 Colorado, one fine morning in the spring of 18*71, and in due time en- 
 tered on active duty in his native Ceylon. Nor did he go alone. 
 A missionary's daughter, a few months before became a mission- 
 ary's wife, and still labors with him. Here is a letter from Smith, 
 written for the reunion in "71, and which, like good wine, improves 
 with age : 
 
 Steamship Delta, Mediterranean, en route for 
 Brindisi, Italy, to Alexandria, Egypt. 
 My Dear Classmates : 
 
 I may as well go back to the beginning, i. e., to our last com- 
 mencement. Goiii!; to East Hampton, I taught until the next 
 spring ; then went to Bangor Seminary, and made up that year's 
 work in professional studies; then took the last two years of the 
 theological course at Andover, graduating in July, 1869. The first 
 year after graduating from the seminary I spent in New England, 
 preaching in various places, and finally acting as pastor for six 
 mouths or so, in Charlemont, not far from Greenfield, Mass. In 
 October, 1870, I went out to Michigan, and thence to Illinois and 
 Missouri ; finally serving as home missionary for a few months, in 
 Lincoln, Illinois. On March 21st, 1871, I was ordained as a min- 
 ister and missionary, and, on the same evening, I was made the 
 happy husband of Miss Emily M. Fairbank, of Concord, Illinois, a 
 young lady whose acquaintance I made while she was visiting 
 friends in the East early in the previous year. On the 10th of 
 May we sailed from New York, and early in July we hope to reach 
 our home on the island, on almost the very acre of my birth. You 
 know that "Jaffna, Ceylon" decided, while yet in college, that he 
 would become a missionary ; and, let me tell you, that he has 
 never, even when most woefully sea-sick, regretted the decision, 
 
CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF '66. 31 
 
 and that he would unite with Cole and Rand in wishing for the 
 rest of '66, as the best wish that could be desired, as much of 
 happiness, of honor, and of true success as, God helping us, we 
 hope to enjoy and attain. In ten or fifteen years I hope to take 
 you by the hand. If not, may we all meet up higher, and then 
 compare notes anew, in a meeting that shall have no end. 
 
 Good bye, from Thos. S. Smith. 
 
 SPEAR (1st) 
 My history for the last eight years is very soon written. I had 
 charge of the High School at Gardner, Mass., for one term after 
 we graduated, and, in November following, entered Columbia Col- 
 lege Law School, from which I graduated in May, 1868. I was 
 at once admitted to practice in all the courts of the State of New 
 York, and, in May, 18*71, in the Circuit and District Courts of the 
 United States. After leaving the law school, I remained in the law 
 office of Messrs. Weeks & Forster, as a clerk, until April, 18*70, when 
 I received an offer to become junior partner in an established firm, 
 which I accepted. The firm of Strong & Spear has ever since been 
 doing a prosperous and constantly increasing business, at 22 Pine 
 street, New York city, where the "junior partner" is always ready 
 and pleased to see any member of '66. November 3, 18*70, I was 
 married to Miss Caroline A. Crocker, of Sunderland, Mass., and we 
 have one daughter. Any classmate calling at 565 Lafayette avenue, 
 Brooklyn, will always find the latch-string out, and my " better 
 hah" and myself ready to welcome and entertain. 
 
 Sincerely yours, in '66, A. A. Spear.

 The Montauk Fire Insurance Company does business and flour- 
 ishes at "the old stand," 168 Broadway, N. Y. city, and here the 
 vigilant ■ secretary, our old friend Trask, may always be found 
 at the post of duty during business hours. He writes : " I feel a 
 lively interest in '66 and its success, and am gratified that I am still 
 remembered by my old associates." 
 
 TWICHELL. 
 
 In the first Book of the Chronicles, Twichell stated that after 
 three years and graduation at Auburn Theological Seminary, he 
 was ordained September 28, 1869, and settled at Allegany, Cat- 
 taraugus County, N. Y. Tn a recent communication to the Secre- 
 tary, he again takes up his parable. " Removed to Burdett in the 
 spring of '70, and have been hard at work ever since. The church 
 has been prospered, even though death has removed a large num- 
 ber of our strongest supporters. If you or any of my classmates 
 come to Watkins, do try to climb the hill and visit us. Greetings 
 to all." 
 
 The new Presbyterian church at this village, Burdett, in Schuy- 
 ler county, was dedicated on the 19th ult. The pastor, Rev. E. W. 
 Twichell, read the 24th Psalm and offered the invocation. The 
 entire cost of reconstruction (all of the building new except the 
 frame and the foundation on which it stands) was $4,266, all of 
 which is provided for except about $200. Referring to this 
 interesting occasion and to a more recent one, the pastor writes : 
 " All felt called upon to praise the Lord, for His hand had 
 been manifest in the work from the beginning till the end. 
 But Sabbath, April 5th, was even a better day for us, for 
 on this last day eleven were received into the church on the 
 profession of their faith. These were all young people, and the 
 fruits of a work of grace which has been going forward quietly 
 while we have been rebuilding the house of worship." — iV. Y. Evan- 
 gelist, April, 1874. 
 
 VALENTINE. 
 The New York City Directory for 1874, just out, and the best 
 possible authority, contains this line : 
 
 Valentine, Samuel H., lawyer, 64 Wall, h. 177 Madison av. 
 Put the two things together, and add the facts that Valentine 
 has made the grand tour of Europe and been admitted to practice 
 in the Supreme Court of the United States, and what more is 
 needed to assure present success and future renown ?

 WEBB. 
 
 Dear Classmates of '6Q: 
 
 My fortunes are cast at present in the " Old Granite State." 
 After graduation, I spent three years in Chicago Theological Sem- 
 inary. Armed with a scant stock of not very orthodox theology I 
 then, together with the course of empire, took my way westward 
 to the " Sunset Land." There I joined my ecclesiastical destinies 
 with the Presbyterians. By the space of three years I ceased not 
 to warn, night and day — principally days — the barbarous, civilized, 
 and enlightened people of that country, who dwell in Alameda, 
 that this world is all a fleeting show. I may add that in the mean- 
 time one of the daughters of Massachusetts succeeded in persuad- 
 ing me that it is not good for man to be alone. I saw the force of 
 the Scriptural injunction, and put it forthwith into practice. 
 
 In the fall of 18*72, I was transplanted from Alameda, Cal., to 
 Great Falls, N. H., returning again to my first love — the CoDgre- 
 gationalists. And here 1 now am. I am doing the best I can to 
 persuade the few hundred people who listen to my voice to think 
 less of their " bottom dollar," and more of their higher interests. 
 What with grinding out sermons, attending funerals and mar- 
 riages, and comforting the disappointed females of my congrega- 
 tion, I find my time pretty well occupied. 
 
 Perhaps I ought to add, too, that a young gentleman — a near 
 relative of mine — made his debut on the stage of life last January. 
 Yours, in the bonds of '66, 
 
 S. W. Webb. 
 
 WESTON (1st). 
 I entered the Theological Seminary at Andover in the fall of 
 ]866 and graduated in 1869, having also gained a practical knowl- 
 edge of a pastor's duties by spending two vacations with mission 
 churches in Brownfield, Me., and Duxbury, Vt. I was ordained 
 
34 CHRONICLES OF THE CLASS OF 'QQ. 
 
 pastor of the Congregational Church in North Bennington, Vt., 
 October 13th, 1869. The church had then been organized more 
 than a year but had no suitable place of worship. After becoming 
 thoroughly acquainted with the people, and learning their pecuni- 
 ary ability, I labored hard to induce them to build. In August, 
 1873, we dedicated our beautiful sanctuary, erected at a cost of 
 $16,000, and entirely free from debt. This, with the addition of 
 about thirty members during the past four years, seems to insure 
 the success of the enterprise. My field of labor is peculiarly diffi- 
 cult in some respects ; but for the most part I have met with hearty 
 co-operation in my plans and efforts, and am happy to say that my 
 work thus far has afforded more real pleasure than I ever antici- 
 pated. 
 
 In August, 1870, I married Miss Clara A. Loring, of Chelsea, 
 Mass. Since then, my cares and my joys likewise have been in- 
 creased through the gift of a son and a daughter. 
 
 The above sketch will show that your classmate has been 
 blessed in his public and domestic life — but, be assured, for pecu- 
 niary gains you must look elsewhere. Let me close with the wish 
 that true prosperity may attend the efforts of every member 
 of '66. 
 
 WESTON (2d). 
 
 My tale of a life from '66 to '74 can be given in a few lines. 
 It was early in 1867 that I left the coast and came inland, making 
 my first stop at St. Paul, Minn. After a few months' service there 
 in a newspaper office I went into the employment of the Govern- 
 ment in the capacity of civil engineer on river work, and that is 
 about where I have been ever since. It had been told me that my 
 field was the world, and this seemed to be the best opportunity I 
 saw for scattering myself over certain parts of it hereabout. Until 
 '71 I was on the Upper Mississippi. Since then I have paddled 
 my canoe on the Ohio. 
 
 Thus far life and its accompaniments have passed along rather 
 quietly. Time and the governing powers have dealt mildly with 
 me. I have covered up my footprints so that I think fame will 
 never discover them, and, on the whole, I may report myself 
 plodding along as a fair representative of the world around me.

 WHEELER. 
 
 Since my pleasant meeting with my elder brothers, for so I 
 always think of my classmates of '66, as compared with those of 
 '68, at Springfield in 1 869, so little of interest has occurred even 
 to myself, among the items and events that go to make up the his- 
 tory of one's life, that I am tempted to say : " Story ? I have none to 
 tell, Sir ; " for it amounts simply to this : The year 1871 found me 
 " Boss of the High School" at Hopkinton, Mass. The following win- 
 ter I was admitted to the bar ; the next year was almost a blank, as 
 I suffered throughout with an attack of nervous disorder. After 
 some months spent in traveling about Uncle Sam's dominion, I 
 finally located at Chicago, 111., where I was engaged a time as dep- 
 uty clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County, and also in 
 financial business in connection with our classmate, John W. 
 Marsh, Esq. At present I am in that happy condition expressed 
 by Pope : "My wish and care a few paternal acres bound." As to 
 the catechism on the last page of the circular, the above may do 
 for remarks. As I have never, in the language of Lord Bacon, 
 " given hostages to fortune," not having been her prisoner, I must 
 pass over those interesting queries concerning my domestic rela- 
 tions. If it were not to make light of a serious subject, I would 
 suggest that my profession was that of a Christian of the liberal 
 tendencies. My present post-office address is South Butler, Wayne 
 Co., N. Y., where I would be most happy to see or hear from any 
 who cares for farther detail.

 A. of S. F., a position of much more labor and worry than pay.
