A pleasing incident occurred in 1870, when Miss Martha T. Learnard went to Almira College to teach Latin. Mr. Morse was

For 60 years she lived in Somerville, Mass., where she conducted for some years private classes in drawing. She was held in admiration by all who knew her. Endowed with unusual physical charms and a bright intellect, both animated by an aspiring soul, Mrs. Porter was recognized as a rarely beautiful personality. Through vicissitudes and sorrows that might have crushed a more ordinary spirit, she arose enriched and strengthened to inspire others.

She was married to John L. Fleming, of Tewksbury, Mass., in 1898, and now resides in that town. The compiler of this chapter recalls with more gratitude than pleasure some experiences which "came his way" while a pupil of Miss Sleeper in "Old No. I." It may have been in those days that, in the pursuit of happiness as the summum bonum, he occasionally tried the experiment of "playing hookey," to spend the spare time in the cemetery! Needless to say, this perverted notion was not of long life.

WILCOMB.
CHARLES ALBERT, CHESTER JAMES, MARY ELIZ- ABETH and WILLIAM WALLACE WILCOMB, children of Charles S. and Harriet A. (Symonds) Wilcomb, were born in Chester, in the house which was used in the stage-coach days as a "tavern" and a place of restoratives for man and beast. They served as teachers for varying periods and with widely divergent experiences, as the follow- ing sketches show :
CHARLES A. WILCOMB, was born May 19, 1852. He at- tended public and private schools in Chester, Colby Academy and Dartmouth College, being one of the ten original or "charter member" students of the first year of the New Hampshire Agricultural College (then a department of Dartmouth). At a youthful age he had his first experience as a teacher, in District No. I, with 55 pupils and classes in "most everything." In the Town Report of 1872 we find this entry, "District No. I. The winter term under the care of Charles A. Wilcomb progressed nicely to the close. Good discipline was maintained, and good feeling between teacher, scholar and parents. The teacher had a severe task here, with more than 50 scholars, with far too many text books, and so many classes. He is a young man of talent and ability, and should find employment in our largest schools, as boys in their teens have much more respect for one capable of using the rod, than for the abstract principle of right and wrong." In 1874, when he was selected as Principal of the Barnard School at South Hampton, the examination consisted of one question-as to whether he thought he could "handle the boys !" After one year at this school, he taught in a Vineland, N. J. public school. He married Anna Bell, in 1871; she died, 1873. His second wife, whom he married in 1882, was Isabel J. Sleeper. For some years he was Superintendent of Schools in Chester, while engaged in business there. After living in Springfield, Fitchburg and Worcester, Mass., he removed to California and now lives in Fullerton, California.
CHESTER JAMES WILCOMB, was born Aug. 27, 1869; earliest training in District No. I and the Academy, he entered Phillips Exeter Academy in 1887 and Harvard College in 1891 (graduated, cum laude, 1895), graduated at Union Theological Seminary, 1898; Columbia University (A. M.) 1897; ordained at Chester, 1898; pulpit supply, Springvale, (Maine) Baptist Church, 1899; pastor Greenville Baptist Church (and stated supply at New Ipswich), 1899-1903. Married Jesse May Hollister, Feb. 20, 1900. While a student at Union Seminary, he assisted as teacher in the L'ong Island Business College (evening sessions). In 1904, he studied at the Teachers' College, N. Y. City, and gave part time to teaching in the Brooklyn Latin School, a private school for boys. He was engaged at the same school 1904-5, and also taught English to foreigners in the New York City evening schools. In Sept., 1905, he was chosen Principal of Mercer Academy, Mercer, Pennsylvania, and resigned that position in May, 1907, to pursue further the study of modern languages in Europe. He studied at Strassburg, Leipzig, Grenoble and Paris (Alliance Francaise), re- turning in 1909, when he became an instructor in German at Dartmouth College. August, 1910, he removed to California and taught one year in the Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy, San Rafael, Calif. The next six years were spent as teacher of modern languages in the Riverside, Calif., Polytechnic High School. Since June, 1917 he has been in the

SCHOOL TEACHERS
life insurance business in Riverside, and has conducted classes in French and Spanish at the Y. M. C. A. and at March Aviation Field. MARY E. WILCOMB (m. Washburn), was born Dec. 1, 1862. She attended the public schools and Chester Academy and was grad- uated from Plymouth State Normal School. Beginning in 1881, in the Walnut Hill (No. 7) school, she taught several years in Chester. Later she taught in Putney, Vermont, boarding in the home of Julius F. Washburn. She was married to him in 1886, assuming the motherly care of three young daughters who had been left motherless some years before. She gave herself with rare devotion to the interests of the large household, and with the coming of her own children, two sons and a daughter, she manifested in a marked degree the qualities of fairness, love and self-sacrifice for all. She continued to be active in the affairs of the Putney schools, and served as Superintendent of Schools for many years. Mr. Washburn died in California, where he had gone in the interests of his health, in 1907. The two sons, Harold E. and William W., served honorably in the World War, as interpreter and physician, respectively. Partly because of failing health, but especially to visit the home from which Harold had chosen his bride at the close of the war, she made a short trip to France in 1921. In April, 1922, she went to San Francisco, accompanied by her daughter, Abbie W. Goodell, and a little grandson. She had visited in California many times before, but now she sought the professional care of her son, William W., in the hope that her health might be restored. She was relieved to be under his charge and there were indications of improvement, but in the early morning of Easter Sunday, April 16th, as the praises of the Risen Christ were being sung on many California hilltops, she passed away. She was a woman of fine mind and character, a faithful sister, wife and mother, active beyond her strength in the interests of her home and the town of her adoption. She was buried in Chester, mourned by a depleted family circle and hosts of friends.
WILLIAM W. WILCOMB, was born Oct. 28, 1864. He attended the public schools, Chester Academy, Colby Academy and Phillips Exeter Academy (class of 1884) preparatory to entering Dartmouth College (class of 1888). Early in his school career he decided to study medicine, and took a full medical course, being graduated from Bowdoin Medical School in 1888. His experience as teacher was confined to one year's work as Principal of Chester Academy in 1885. He married Mabel G. Strong, of Vasselboro, Maine, and was becoming well established in his chosen profession at Suncook, when he con- tracted a very malignant type of diphtheria from a child patient and died Dec. 2, 1892, leaving a bride of six weeks and many friends who had anticipated for him a long and successful professional life.
WOOD.
LENA M. WOOD, daughter of Henry P. and Nora (Greene) Wood, was born in Auburn in 1897. She attended the Chester public schools, Pinkerton Academy (1915) and Keene State Normal School (1919) ; and has taught in Keene (1910-20). When a small child, she lost her mother and since has made her home with her uncle, Charles Henry Greene, of Chester.
