Being obliged to rely almost entirely on his own exertions for the necessary funds
to complete his education, he felt compelled to leave college for a year and engage in
teaching. He accordingly left us on May 9, 1861, at the close of the Spring term. He
returned to Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, in 1862, entering the class of 65 as a Sophomore. He was taken sick and went home to Epsom, about the 10th of
October. His disease was typhoid fever in its severest form, terminating fatally, after four
weeks' illness, on November 11, 1862.
He was a young man of good promise, and though with us but a short time,
endeared himself to many of us by his many noble traits of character. In his native town,
he always ranked well in scholarship and general demeanor, and held the esteem of his
teachers and the regard of his fellow citizens.
