of the community. While principal of the high school he made many friends. The students without ex- eeption held him in affectionate re- gard. In the Rotary club of which he was secretary and treasurer there was no member who contributed more than he of comradeship and service. Not only in Torrington but wherever he had lived he won the respect, confidence and affection of the people with whom he came into contact. In Watertown where he was principal of schools before com mg to Torrington he was exceedingly popular. The school committee of that place made. every effort possible to keep him at the head of it's schools. He was active and ambitious, a good fighter and generous opponent. He always stood up for his rights and gave unsparingly of his energy in the building up of a business career xfter resigning from the principal ship of the high school. His friends have known that he was under con- siderable strain for months, but he was always cheerful and confident. His untimely death is mourned uni yersally here and everywhere he has lived. His family have the deepest sympathy of all in their bereavement.
