of the older generation, he dictated from memory history of his life to our secretary, which was read to us at our following reunion in 1909. He it. lustrated in a rare degree two rather prominent traits of the family, indus try and frugality.
 A year of mingled sunshine an d shadow, gladness and sadness, has passed since our last meeting With gladness we record the fact of addi- tions to our circle. Some have come voluntarily after due deliberation> Some have come of necessity--without their wishes being consulted in the matter. A very pleasing item to re- cord is the fact that two new families have come from other states to make their home in Thompson. A hoarty welcome is hereby extended to each and to all, and we hope they are as glad to be here as we are to have them with us. Any hard feelings which we might have had towards the reverend gentleman who came SC slyly into our midst and "Chased' away one of our nice young ladies, are seftened by the fact that he has returned her to us with accrued interest.
 With sadness we recerd the fact of the loss of dear ones during the year We naiss today the pleasant face and I n.t I wes so constantly with us, always ready and willing to assist in whatev- .er way he was called upon. His cheerful personality and spirit of help- fulness will make fis memory an in- spiring one, so in the words of James Nhitcomb Riley we will say of him, '"tIe is not dead, he is just away" On, Sept. Il, 1912 occurred the death of Dr- J. Francis Tovrtellotte. He was born in Thompson and spent the early wears of his life there. Soon after his graduation from Columbia Unieersity as an NJ. D. he enlisted in the naval service as a surgeon, position ~hich he held for number of years. When on account of his health he was obliged to resign, he was advised by his physician to seek a different eli mate. Consequently the last thirty years of his life were spent in the state of Minnesota. The success which he won in the financial world he and his wife shared with his native town, by presenting and linerally endowing the beautiful Tourtellotte Memorial High School building in memory of his two little daughters.
 quite agree with the gentleman who said he thoroughly believed in the sentiment, IA little mere taliy while we live and little less epitaphy when we die " And so today l want to bring a tribute of appreciation to ourssecretary and treasurer, stephen Ballard, lwho has served us so long and so faithfully, and whose interest in these gatherings, shown in so many wsys, has done SC much to make them the enjoyable occasions they have preVed to be.
