JOHN W. WETHERELL, 744. Colonel John W. Wetherell, of the Class of Forty-Four, died at his home in Worcester, Mass., on Saturday, Oct. 2, of Brights disease. He had suffered many years from this trouble and for three months before his death was un- able to leave his bed. He leaves a widow. ' Colonel Wetherell was born in Ox- ford, Mass., in 1820. His preparation for college was at Leicester Academy and he entered Yale at the age of twen- ty. After graduating from Yale in 1844 he studied in the Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1846. For nearly thirty years he practiced law in Worcester. When John Andrew, called the “war gover- nor,” was filling the executive chair in Massachusetts, he appointed Mr. Weth- erell to his staff, with the rank of colo- nel. In this position he was of invalua- ble service to Governor Andrew in look- ing after the welfare of the state troops at the front and in the selection of offi- cers. CHARLES H. BULLARD, ’47. Rev. Charles H. Bullard died at his home at Hartford, Conn., on Oct. 16, after an illness that had continued since last December. Mr. Bullard was born in Uxbridge, Mass., February 13, 1820, and was the son of Luther and Hannah Dudley Bullard. He was graduated at Yale College in 1847, and after teach- C. M.

If you die they lose the $100 a month, the equivalent of which is the $22,700. The cash value of your life to them is therefore $22,700. They lose that if you die. | You have made your family dependent on you: dependent on that $100 a month, You have put them at the risk of losing # by losing you. If you had a piece of property which was bringing you in $100 a month and it stood a chance of being destroyed and so cutting off your income, you would not rest until you had taken enough of that $100 a month and ‘nsured yourself against the loss of it. You would consider that you had not done your duty by yourself until you had so protected yourself effectually. Your life is just such a'piece of property to your family: you have made itso. They need just that same effectual protection against its loss which may come any day. And they cannot protect themselves. They rely on you for that as much as they do for the $100 a month itself. They need protection against that loss even more than you need protection against the loss of your property. But they cannot have it unless you give it to them. You have exposed them to the loss: you have made them dependent on you: you alone can protect them in their dependence. THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Makes its plans from the family’s point of view: to give them the most absolute protection, at the least cost to you and with perfect equity to both, It will be glad to serve you and your family in this great matter. JACOB L. GREENE, President, JOHN M. TAYLOR, Vice-President.. EDWARD M. BUNCE, Secretary. DANIEL H. WELLS, Actuary. ing a year in General Thomas Russell’s military school in New Haven entered the Yale Divinity School, teaching and studying at the same time, and gradu- ating in 1851. He was ordained pastor of the Second Congregational Church in Rockville in 1853, remaining with wit that church until 1857, when ill health made it necessary for him to re- sign. He came to Hartford and for ten years was district secretary of the American Tract Society of Boston, and was afterwards state misisonary for the Connecticut Home Missionary Society. In 1872 he was appointed district secre- tary of the American Tract Society of New York and had been actively en- gaged in the service for nearly twenty- five years, gaining an extensive ac- quaintance with Congregational minis- ters in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Mr. Bullard was married in 1852 to Susan Augusta Spencer of Deep River, who died in 1896. Three of their six children survive, Mrs. Alice B. Skeele, wife of the Rev. Arthur T. Skeele of Wellington, O.; Anna W. Bullard and Herbert S. Bullard of Hartford. He leaves a brother, Edward P. Bullard, and a sister, Catherine Bullard, both of Bridgeport. $4 J. Hammond Trumbull, ’42. (Henry Clay Trumbullin Sunday School Times.) A little more than twenty years ago I was in my brother’s house when he received a letter from George Bancroft, the historian, accompanying a set of the latest edition of “History of the United States.” Mr. Bancroft said, in substance, that although he was aware that my brother had the earlier edi- tions in his library, he wished to send him this later one also, for, as he had been indebted to him for important help in its writing at every stage, he felt that it was no more than right that he should send him each edition as it appeared, since he had had so much to do with its writing and with its re- vision. This might have led me to think that United States history was his peculiar line of research; but there were other facts that showed me how much he did in other spheres. Not far from the same time there came a letter from Professor Asa Gray, the botanist of Harvard, saying that he had been invited by the British Asso- ciation to read a paper on the indigen- ous flora of the United States, at its approaching meetng in Toronto.
