health, suffering from cirrhosis of the
liver.
On December 2, 1856, he was married

The Family’s Point of View.
oe Gwe GS
F you are thirty-five years old and are in good health, and are earning $100
a month, your life, on which this earning depends, is worth $22,700 in
cash to-day to your family. 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 it 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.

five days before, was the cause of his
death. Mr. Field leaves a wife and
two daughters of ten and eight years of
age.
Mr. Field was born in the West 4o
years ago. He came East to enter the
- Sheffield Scientific School, from which
he graduated with the Class of Seventy-
Seven. For a number of years after
graduation he was one of the civil engi-
neers of the Union Pacific Railroad.
He was appointed Superintendent of
Bridges in Philadelphia, which office he
held until he took a position with the
Berlin Iron Company. Nine years ago
he was elected Vice-President of this
company and held this position up to
the time of his death.
JOHN HUBBARD CURTIS, 787.
Mr. Curtis, whose death occurred
very suddenly at Lexington, Mass., on
Thursday, Jan. 13, was one of the
ablest and most scholarly men in the
Class of Eighty-Seven. He was born
at Hartford, June 9, 1865, and pre-
pared for College at the Hillhouse
High School, New Haven, graduating
second in his class. He entered Col-
lege in 1883, and was graduated fourth
in scholarship rank, his brother being
the valedictorian. He then took a
graduate course in English literature,
his favorite study. Shortly after, while
teaching at Cleveland; his health broke
down, and he had suffered intensely
from nervous prostration ever since.
A tour around the world failed to
restore his health.
Mr. Curtis was a man of the highest
mental attainments and the most spot-
less character. His devotion to duty
was his ruling passion, and he has left
in the hearts of his friends the memory
of a man of keen intelligence, noble
unselfishness, constant affections, and
devoutly Christian character.

27 East Twenty-Second street, New

tea at 93 Front street. Since his fath-
er’s death in 1894 Mr. Woodruff has
conducted this business. He was un-
