OBITUARY.

Charles Paine Cheney was born in Boston, Dec. 20, 1869, and died from general tuberculosis at Colorado Springs, Colo., on Feb. 3 last. Cheney prepared for college at St. Paul's School, Concord, N. H. Throughout his college course he took an active but unobtrusive interest in the social and athletic life. He rowed two years on his class crew. Among the social organizations to which he belonged were the Institute of 1770, the D. K. E., the Hasty Pudding Club and the Alpha Delta Phi.

Cheney graduated with his class in '92 and on April 29, 1893, he married Mary Ward Lyon at New Britain, Conn. In September of that year he became a junior partner in the banking house of Blodgett, Merritt and Co., of Boston, and remained with them until his death. He was apparently in good health up to August, 1896, when, after a prolonged business trip through the West, he became much run down. At first he thought nothing serious was the trouble and with characteristic determination stuck to his work until November. In creasing weakness, however, compelled him to relinquish work and to go to Colorado Springs. For some time he seemed to be gaining satisfactorily, but from about Christmas time he failed rapidly. His wife and three children survive him.

Cheney, although gifted in many ways, had a modest and unassuming manner, a sunny temper, and a character always brave and cheerful. Those who knew him well loved him for himself, and those who only knew of him, both in College and in business life, admired him for his high sense of honor and his sterling character. In behalf of the class of '92, we wish to express to Cheney's family our own sense of loss and our deep sympathy with them.
