Thomas Porter Scovell, 386, one of the oldest, best known and most high- ly respected citizens of Lewiston, Me., died at the old Scovell homestead at Oak Hill, August 6, 1896, of paralysis. He was 82 years old. Mr. Scovell was born in Palmyra, N. Y., in 1814, and went to Lewiston in 1837, where he had since lived for upwards of 60 years. His father, Dr. Seymour Scovell, was among the early settlers on the Niagara Frontier and was the builder of the locks at Lockport, N. Y. The deceased was a graduate at Yale college in the class of 736 and delivered the valedictory on that occasion. During the patriot war in 1837, he started a paper in Lockport known as the Frontier Sen- tinel, which dropped out of existence when the cause needed no further defense. In 1839 the Niagara Demo- crat passed into his hands and was edited published by him until 1846, when it was transferred to Messrs. Turner and McCollum of Lockport. Mr. Scovell held the office of town clerk of Lewiston, Me., for a period extending over 40 years, being elected continuously on all tickets. He re- signed in 1892 on account of feeble health. He also filled the office of village clerk and clerk of the school district for a number of years and was the trusted special agent of the Aetna Fire Insurance company of Hartford, Conn., for nearly half a century. Mr. Scovell was a devoted student, a linguist of rare ability and possessed a fine literary taste. He was kind and generous in disposition and was of strict integrity and uni- versally beloved.

On leaving College, he began traveling through Europe and the East and then went to London, where he became engaged in the mill-furnish- ing business. In 1890, he returned to this country and procured for him- self a home in Philadelphia, where he spent the last few years of his life. Ree as ee ae came Alumni Association of Oregon, A Yale Alumni Association of Ore- gon was organized at a meeting held November 6, at the office of Durham, Platt & Platt in Portland, Oregon. An organization was. perfected, of which Robert T. Platt, ’89, was elected President, and H. F. Conner, ’98S., Secretary. Steps were also taken to- ward holding a dinner in the near fu- ture, and an Executive Committee consisting. of J...W. Hill, °78: R. T. Platt, ’89, and H. F. Conner, ’93S., was appointed for that purpose.

F. Conner, Box 47, Port- land, Oregon. mba eS Ninety-four Class Boy. In a letter of November 11, to the class secretary of Ninety-four, George M. Crawford, of.
