Prof. J. Y. Stanton, of Bates College, his college and classmate at Bowdoin and at Andover, writes of him: "Mr. Howe was superior to most men in the clearness of his judgments, the fearlessness of his convictions, the fullness of his manhood. He brought all questions to the test of reason rather than to that of authority or tradition. While thoroughly evangelical in faith and spirit, he was of a temper that could not readily allow the decisions of his own mind in respect to truth, affairs, or men to be usurped by those commended to him by fathers, councils, or creeds. This independence of character made him an enjoyable friend and a useful member of society. A warm-hearted, true, faith- ful minister, teacher, and man, he lived to honor all his associations in life, to serve well his day, and to retain to the last the sincere admiration and esteem of at least one of his classmates."
Mr. Howe was married, August 20, 1862, to Annie Eliza Bean, of Sand- wich, N. H., daughter of Daniel Quimby Bean and Grace Quimby. She died January 7, 1865. He married, second, September 12, 1866, Emily Roby Hob- son, of West Buxton, Me., daughter of Joseph Hobson and Mary Townsend. She survives him, with one son, a graduate of Harvard College, who is the editor of the Free Press, Burlington, Vt.
Mr. Howe died of heart disease, at Lowell, Mass., March 21, 1894, aged sixty-one years.

CLASS OF 1866.
Alfred Perry Johnson.
Son of Obadiah Perry Johnson and Abigail Maria Reed; born in Bedford, Mass., April 3, 1836; prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover ; graduated at Harvard College, 1861; taught in Bound Brook, N. J., 1861-62 ; enlisted from Cambridge in 44th Massachusetts Regiment and served nine months, and was afterwards in the service of the United States Christian Com- mission ; took the full course in this Seminary, 1863-66; was licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. George Pierce, Jr., Dracut, Feb- ruary 13, 1866. He was ordained at Paola, Kan., November 19, 1867, his serv- ice there continuing from 1866 to 1869, and his subsequent pastorates were at Woodstock, Ill., 1870-72; Platteville, Wis., 1872-86; Springfield, Mo. (Central Church), 1886-89; Joplin, Mo., 1890-92 ; Spring Valley, Ill., 1892 until his death.
Rev. J. G. Merrill, D.D., a Seminary classmate, writes : " Johnson was a favorite in our class. His manly bearing and genial disposition made him friends in all the classes of the institution. He determined to enter the mis- sionary field at the West, and the missionary spirit always burned within him. He had struggling enterprises and trying fields, but he bravely faced all obsta- cles, and everywhere commanded the esteem and love of those who wrought with him and the respect and admiration of others." Rev. C. D. Adams (Class of 1882), of Dartmouth College, says of him : "I count the friendship and fel- lowship of Rev. A. P. Johnson, my pastor in Springfield, Mo., a rich privilege, and lasting in its influence on my life. ... His power was primarily in the per- fect sincerity and devotion of his own life and his clear insight into the finest truth. His love to the Heavenly Father and to all his children was his starting point for all thinking. It led him sometimes to conclusions different from many of his brethren, but such difference always seemed small in the light of his sweet Christian life."
Mr. Johnson was married, December 3, 1867, to Terressa Elizabeth Shively, of Marion, Ind., daughter of Hon. James Scott Shively, M.D., and Harriet Olive Marshall. She survives him, with a son and a daughter, one son having died in childhood.
Mr. Johnson died of pericarditis, at Spring Valley, Ill., June 29, 1894, aged fifty-eight years.
Bernard Paine.
Son of Levi Paine and Clementine Leonard; born in East Randolph, Mass., September 21, 1834; prepared for college at Bridgewater Normal School and Dummer Academy, Byfield, Mass .; graduated at Dartmouth College, 1863; studied in Union Seminary, 1863-64, and in this Seminary, 1864-66; licensed by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. George Pierce, Jr., Dracut, February 13, 1866; ordained pastor of the Pacific Church, New Bedford, Mass., June 6, 1867, and remained there until 1871. His subsequent pastorates were at Foxboro, Mass., 1871-77 ; resided in Boston, 1878-79; in West Barnstable, 1879-80, supplying at Wood's Holl; Sandwich, Mass., 1880-84; Old Saybrook, Ct., 1885-94.
Rev. A. W. Hazen, D.D., of Middletown, Ct. (Class of 1868), Mr. Paine's college room-mate and intimate friend through life, said of him before the Mid- dlesex (Ct.) Conference : "I need not say more of my friend as a minister of
I71
the gospel of the grace of God. You know his steadfast loyalty to the truth, to the Church, and to the name of Christ. He was a model pastor as well as an intelligent, a stimulating, and a spiritual preacher. His public prayers were such as only one who prayed much in private could offer. The life and death of Bernard Paine seem to me like a great victory - a victory over self, over the world, over the last enemy. And the peace of God is his."
Mr. Paine was married, December 4, 1867, to Eliza Smith Blossom, of East Sandwich, Mass., daughter of Bennett W. Blossom and Abby Robinson, who survives him, with one son and three daughters, one daughter having died in infancy.
He died of neuralgia of the heart, at Old Saybrook, Ct., June 11, 1894, in the sixtieth year of his age.
CLASS OF 1867.
Edwin Jarvis Hart. (Resident Licentiate.)
Son of Russell Hart and Wealthy Britain ; born in East Brewer (now Holden), Me., September 16, 1825; studied at Hampden (Me.) Academy and other schools ; took his theological course at Bangor Seminary, graduating in 1855; licensed by the Penobscot (Me.) Association, December 19, 1854; ordained at Merrimack, N. H., January 1, 1856, and pastor there until 1865; resident licentiate at this Seminary, 1865-67; acting pastor at Cottage Grove, Minn., 1867-71, and pastor, 1871-79; without charge there afterwards until his death.
Mr. Hart served in the Christian and Sanitary Commissions in Tennessee in 1863. Rev. Jules A. Derome, pastor of the church in Cottage Grove, writes of him : " He was a good man. Such a tribute means more than may appear at first. He was sincere and earnest, and did his best as a pastor. He was a scholar of much ability and a good preacher. His sermons were always care- fully prepared and listened to with attention and profit. He belonged to the old school of New England theology, but always made more of the Bible than of any particular theological tenet. He was for many years one of the leading members and best advisers of the old St. Croix Valley Conference."
He was married, November 11, 1855, to Mary Elizabeth Fanning, of Pitts- field, Mass., daughter of Charles O. Fanning and Fidelia Holbrook. She sur- vives him.
He died of progressive muscular atrophy, at Cottage Grove, Minn., April 16, 1893, in the sixty-eighth year of his age.
CLASS OF 1875.
John Howard Hincks. (Non-graduate.)
Son of John Winslow Hincks and Sarah Ann Blodget; born in Bucks- port, Me., March 19, 1849; prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, being the valedictorian of his class; graduated at Yale College, 1872, dividing with a classmate the honor of the DeForest medal; entered this Seminary in 1872, but was obliged in the second year of the course to suspend study and seek a change of climate in California; he was there licensed to preach by the Bay Association and was able to preach somewhat; returning, he completed his theological course at Yale Divinity School, 1874-76, and was licensed by the New Haven Central Association, May 9, 1876. He was ordained pastor
172
of the Bethany Church, Montpelier, Vt., as successor to Rev. William H. Lord, D.D. (Class of 1846), September 27, 1877, and remained there eleven years. From 1889 to the time of his death he was professor of History and Social Sci- ence in Atlanta University, being also dean of the faculty, editor of the college paper, and in the president's absence taking his place. Mr. Hincks was brother of Prof. E. Y. Hincks, of Andover Seminary.
Rev. Prof. A. R. Merriam (Class of 1877), of Hartford Theological Sem- inary, a classmate at Phillips and at Yale, sends this tribute : "Mr. Hincks was always facile princeps in character and influence. In his career he has shown a most remarkable range of gifts in Christ's service. Preëminently a man of in- tellectual power in academy and in college, he became eminent as a pastor by his sympathetic ministries and lowly fidelities, and as dean of Atlanta by his business ability and administrative force - an unusual combination of qualities in very diverse fields. Men who have known him only at one period of his life are surprised to learn of traits which distinguished him in other fields. The secret of his life was his complete consecration. He talked little about it, but he gave himself unreservedly to the work before him. Phillips Academy and Andover Seminary have sent out no finer type of a Christian scholar and minister than this man, so strong, so sweet, so brilliant, so sympathetic, and so nobly devoted to the call of faith and duty."
Mr. Hincks was married, April 4, 1878, to Jennie King Thurston, of Old Saybrook, Ct., daughter of Rev. Richard Bowers Thurston and Jane Miller Pierce. She survives him, with two sons and two daughters, one son having died in infancy.
Mr. Hincks died of typhoid fever, at Atlanta, Ga., December II, 1894, in the forty-sixth year of his age.
CLASS OF 1876.
Charles Nelson Brainerd.
Son of Lawrence Robbins Brainerd and Catherine Wood; born in St. Albans, Vt., April 27, 1849; prepared for college at St. Albans Academy ; grad- uated at Middlebury College, 1873; took the full course in this Seminary, 1873-76; licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. F. G. Wright, Andover, June 22, 1875. He was ordained as pastor of the church in South Dennis, Mass., December 22, 1876, and remained there three years. He was acting pastor at Wallingford, Vt., 1880-82; his health then failing, he was afterwards without charge at Northampton, Mass., and Brattle- boro, Vt., until his death.
Mr. Brainerd's attached friend, Rev. Herbert W. Lathe (Class of 1877), writes of him : " He was a man of deep piety and quick sympathies, amiable and affectionate in disposition, and of sanguine temperament. A great hater of shams, he was peculiarly earnest to find the truth for himself, and, when found, to be loyal to it. His winning ways and sterling character account for his in- variable popularity. His sermons were manly and strong rather than senti- mental, and he was specially gifted in commending the gospel to men. Com- pelled to retire from the ministry after a short service, he longed and expected to return to it, and his early death removed from the world a devoted Christian, a most companionable and lovable friend, and a faithful minister of the Word."
I73
Mr. Brainerd was married, October 15, 1878, to Emily Clara Sanford, of Orwell, Vt., daughter of William Riley Sanford and Emily Bascom. She sur- vives him, with two daughters.
He died of brain disease and peritonitis, at Brattleboro, Vt., June 15, 1893, aged forty-four years.
CLASS OF 1884.
Henry Samuel Harrison. (Resident Licentiate.)
Son of Marvin Bennet Harrison and Grace Ann Bradley, both parents being from Connecticut; born in Mendon, Ill., December 18, 1849; attended the public schools ; at the age of seventeen became a clerk in Chicago; from 1871 to 1880 was in business as a dry goods merchant there; took the full course in Chicago Theological Seminary, 1880-83; in this Seminary as resident licentiate, 1883-84, also supplying the church at Ballardvale in Andover ; ordained at York, Neb., December 18, 1884, and resigned his pastorate there in June, 1886, to take the position of business manager of the Chicago Advance, of which later he became editor and proprietor.
Rev. Dr. Simeon Gilbert (Class of 1860) said of him in a memorial issue of the Advance : " His convictions were rooted in his very being ; if they took pos- session of him at all they took possession of him wholly. His loyalty to the truth was of the absolute kind. Without a thought of martyrdom, he had the spirit, had there been the occasion for it, which would have made martyrdom the most natural thing in the world. As was to be expected in the experience of so great and varied responsibilities, his nature broadened, and he was contin- ually growing in mastery of apprehension of all the crowding issues of the time."
Mr. Harrison was married, August 10, 1887, to Ruth Eunice Stone, of Char- lotte, Vt., daughter of Luther D. Stone and Phebe R. Keese. She survives him, with two daughters, one daughter having deceased.
He was instantly killed by a passing train, at La Grange, Ill., his suburban home, on the evening of November 21, 1894, in the forty-fifth year of his age.
CLASS OF 1890.
Carletto Francello Lewis. (Resident Licentiate.)
Son of George Henry Lewis and Anna Frances Tillinghast; born in Woon- socket, R.I., February 15, 1863; early education obtained in the public schools of Westboro and Worcester, Mass., where successively he lived ; became inter- ested in religious work at Cherry Valley in Leicester, Mass .; took the full course at Bangor Seminary, 1886-89; was licensed by the Penobscot (Me.) Association, May 29, 1888; preached at Isle au Haut, Me., 1889; resident licentiate in this Seminary, 1889-90; acting pastor at Deerfield, Mass., 1890-91 ; at Boylston, Mass., 1892-93, being ordained there June 7, 1892; afterwards without charge at Worcester.
His self-denying efforts to secure a theological education had impaired his health, and consumption soon put an end to the ministerial work which he loved and was ambitious to the last to continue. He died of that disease, at Worces- ter, Mass., August 16, 1894, aged thirty-one years.
I74
EXCLUSIVE of the two VISITORS whose names stand at the head of our list, forty-two deaths are reported this year. The average age of these forty-two men is seventy-one years, six months, and seventeen days. Two had passed the age of ninety; thirteen were between eighty and ninety, ten between seventy and eighty, eleven between sixty and seventy ; and only four were below fifty.
Twenty-nine of the forty-two were full graduates of the Seminary, ten had taken a partial course here, and three were resident licentiates. All except one of the regular students and the three resident licentiates were college graduates, Yale and Amherst each sending eight, Middlebury five, Harvard and Dart- mouth three each, Brown University and the University of Vermont two each, Bowdoin, Williams, Union, Marietta, Iowa, and the Universities of Ohio and Michigan one each. One entered the Episcopal and three the Unitarian ministry, while at least six were pastors in the Presbyterian Church.
The varied and useful service rendered to the Church by these brethren will be recognized as their names are read - Professor Shedd as the profound theological thinker and writer; Henry M. Storrs as the gifted pulpit and plat- form orator; Knapp and Shedd as honored and devoted missionaries in the foreign field; Lathrop Taylor and Luther Clapp laying good foundations in the West; Colton and Edwards, Byington and Bittinger, Parker and Paine, Hillard and Hincks, and others like them, doing earnest and successful work in the East. The latest and saddest death reported is that of Austin Hazen, the modest, faithful Vermont pastor, "buried at sea."

VISITOR.
Hon. Charles Theodore Russell.
Son of Hon. Charles Russell and Persis Hastings; born in Princeton, Mass., November 20, 1815; prepared for college at Princeton Academy and under the tuition of Rev. Warren Goddard; graduated at Harvard College, 1837, as salutatorian, giving also the valedictory oration on taking his Master's degree in 1840; studied law at Harvard Law School and in the office of Henry H. Fuller, Boston ; admitted to Suffolk Bar in 1839; in partnership first with Mr. Fuller, and from 1845 with his brother, Thomas H. Russell, the firm later including his sons, Charles Theodore Russell, Jr., and William E. Russell (ex- Governor of the Commonwealth). He resided in Boston until 1855, afterwards in Cambridge.
His first public office was in 1849 as a member of the Boston School Com- mittee, from which he was dropped after one year's service because he advo- cated the admission of colored children to the public schools on an equality with white children. He was a member of the House of Representatives from Boston, 1844, 1845, 1850; of the Senate from Suffolk County in 1851 and 1852, and from Middlesex County, 1877, 1878; he was mayor of Cambridge in 1861 and 1862 ; from 1873 he was professor of Practice, Evidence, and Admiralty Law in Boston University. He was a member of the American Oriental Society. He was actively and efficiently connected with nearly all the benevolent societies of the Congregationalists - a corporate member of the American Board, director of the Home Missionary Society, the Congregational Publishing Society and the Massachusetts Bible Society, president of the Congregational Club and, at the time of his death, of the Board of Ministerial Aid. He was one of the Board of Visitors of Andover Theological Seminary, and secretary of the Board, from 1874 to 1885. He delivered the Fourth of July oration in Boston, 1851, before the city authorities. He published a history of his native town of Prince- ton, Mass., in 1838, and delivered the centennial address there in 1859.
