abandoning it in 1887. He resumed his
Pastoral work for a short time in 1887,
but ill-health again forced him to
discontinue it. In November, 1887, he
was made one of the Trustees of a new
library at Bucksport, and subsequently
was appointed Superintendent and Li-
brarian. This position he held until
ecember I, 1890, when he resigned
his office. Since that date he has had
charge of two or three estates, and has
been occupied with duties pertaining
to a trustee.
President Timothy Dwight writes of
his ‘classmate as follows:
“Mr. Skinner was a man of sterling
worth, of faithfulness in every service
to which he was called, of quiet gentle-
ness in all the relations of life. He had
a strong and beautiful character. He
was a Christian disciple, whom no one
could meet without being impressed
with the thought that he was seeing a
man who had been with the Master in
the communings of his inmost life.
He had an ‘honorable and useful career,
and won the esteem and regard of all
who knew him. His classmates gave
him, long since, their friendship, and
will give him their kindly remem-
berance.”
GEORGE ROGERS HOWELL, 754.
George Rogers Howell, ’54, died of
pneumonia, in Albany, N. Y., April 5,
1899. Mr. Howell was a son of Charles
and Mary (Rogers) Howell, and was
born June 15, 1833, at Southampton,
Long Island, which was the first town
settled by the English in the State of
New York. He was a descendant in
the eighth generation of Edward
Howell, the leader of the colony.
After graduation he taught for six or
seven years, occupying all his spare
time in reading and the study of French
and German. In the Fall of 1861 he
entered Princeton Theological Semi-
nary, where he graduated in May, 1864.
After occupying the Presbyterian pul-
pit in Moscow, N. Y., as stated supply,
for a year and a half, he returned in.
November, 1865, to Southampton,
where he delivered the address at the
celebration of the 225th anniversary of
the settlement of the town, and subse-
quently prepared a history of it, includ-
ing the genealogies of the old families,
which was published in 1867. A second
edition of this work, much enlarged and
mostly re-written, was brought out in
1887. In the Spring of 1869 he went
to Mt. Morris, Livingston County, N.
Y., and became principal of a boy’s
boarding and day school. In March,
1872, his reputation as a linguist led to
his appointment as Assistant Librarian
of the New York State Library at Al-
bany, and there he remained until his
death. Besides his acquaintance with
French and German, he had also a fair
knowledge of the Italian, Spanish, Por-
tugese and Dutch languages. In a lit-
erary way he wrote many papers on
historical, scientific and philological
subjects and read some of them before
various learned societies; also edited
various works, and published a ‘‘Gene-
alogy of the Parsons Family, and.
several historical pamphlets.
Since 1889 he had been State Archaist.
His widow is Mrs. Mary Seymour
Howell, a well known leader in the
movement for woman’s rights.
