Many Prominent North Shore Sum- 
mer Residents On Titanic. 
The tragic fate of the magnificent 
liner Titanic has grieviously struck 
the North Shore colony if the fate 
of those missing becomes a reality. 
First on the lst comes Major 
Archibald W. Butt, military aide to 
President Taft; Clarence Moore of 
Washington and Pride’s, who mar- 
ried Miss Mabelle Swift, daughter 
of Mrs. E. C. Swift of Chicago and 
“Swiftmoor,’’ Pride’s. George D. 
Widener, the great financier was 
numbered among the West Man- 
chester colonists last season as ten- 
ant of the Eben D. Jordan estate. 
He is a son of P. A. B. Widener, the 
traction magnate of Philadelphia. 
Mrs. Widener before her marriage 
was Miss Eleanor Elkins. The cou- 
ple went abroad several weeks ago, 
Mr. Widener for the purpose of in- 
specting several works of art his 
father had intended to purchase; and 
Mrs. Widener to supervise the pur- 
chase of a trousseau for her daugh- 
ter, Eleanor, whose engagement to 
Fitz Eugene Dixon recently was an- 
nouneed. 
Frederick M. Hoyt and wife of 
New York and Marblehead, are re- 
ported safe on board the Carpathia, 
also Col. Archibald Gracie of Wash- 
ington, who was among the guests 
at the Leach cottage, Manchester, 
last season. Mrs. Clarence Moore is 
believed to have survived, also Mrs. 
Widener and her maid. Miss Eliza- 
beth M. Eustis of 1020 Beacon street, 
Brookline, also on the Titanic, was 
of the Eustis family party that had 
the small Laurence cottage, Hospital 
Point, Beverly, last season. 
Frederick M. Hoyt reported 
among the survivors is one of the 
best known yachtsmen in Massachu- 
setts and extremely popular in Mar- 
blehead. He first came to the town 
in the summer of 1909. His yachting 
affiliation was the New York Yacht 
club and he came to Marblehead as 
a candidate to enter the Sonder 
Klasse races. His boat was named 
the Skeezix and she has won many 
races. Mr. Hoyt is a member of the 
New York, Eastern and Corinthian 
yacht clubs. 
Mr. Hoyt liked Marblehead so 
well that he bought the valuable es- 
estate in Ocean avenue, Marblehead 
Neck, formerly owned by the son of 
the late Senator Redfield Proctor of 
Vermont. He remodelled the place 
after buying it and spent nearly six 
months of the year there, thoroughly 
enjoying himself on the water in his 
boat. He became a resident of the 
town and oftentimes came on from 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
New York, expressly to vote. 
Mr. Hoyt was 48 years old and 
was a man of considerable means. 
Ile had no business connection that 
is known of in Marblehead. He was 
married but had no children. Gard- 
ner Hathaway, a well known Marble- 
head real estate agent confirmed the 
statement that the F. M. Hoyt on 
the Titanic was the summer resident 
of Marblehead, because he said he 
knew of Mr. Hoyt being in Europe 
and that he was expected to return 
toAmerica at this time. 
Maxwell Norman of Hamilton, the 
well known polo player, was booked 
to sail on the Titanic and his name 
was on the passenger list that was 
cabled to New York. Mr. Norman 
did not sail on that ship, however, 
changing his passage to the Oceanic. 
As we go to press reports come 
that J. Tracy Eustis of Boston, who 
had two sisters on board the Titanie, 
has received word at St. Johns that 
one of them has been picked up by 
the steamship Olympic, but that no 
word has been received of the other. 
Mr. Eustis heard later that his sis- 
ter, Mrs. Walter Stephenson, of Hart 
ford, Pa., had been rescued by the 
Capathia. He was also informed 
that another woman ealled Miss 
Ellis in the list of survivors on the 
Capathia was supposed to be Miss 
Elizabeth M. Eustis of Boston, an- 
other sister. 
The women are nieces of George S. 
Mandell of the Boston Transcript. 
Mr. Eustis was one of the large num 
ber of persons who passed through 
St. John on their way to Halifax, 
hoping to meet friends and relatives 
among the survivors, whom they be- 
lieved, were being taken to that 
port. Mrs. Stephenson visited the 
Kustis family at Beverly last sum-

The Call to Massachusetts. 
In the course of its history, this 
country has faced three great crises. 
Through two of these it has sueccess- 
fully passed, and the activities and 
leadership of Massachusetts and 
Massachusetts men have played a 
most important part in each. 
In the present day the third crisis 
is at hand. Traditions are threat- 
ened. The foundation of the gov- 
ernment itself is sought to be under- 
mined. Again, as in the days when 
she has done such yeoman service, 
Massachusetts is looked to for lead- 
ership and inspiration. The call to 
arms has sounded. The forces that 
are attacking the very form and na- 
ture of things, written and unwrit- 
ten, attempt to misrepresent the at- 
rit 
Kettle Cove Golf Club. 
We wish to correct any possible 
misapprehension regarding the item 
in March 15th issue, referring to the 
possible action of Mr. W. H. Cool- 
idge in diverting the use of his land, 
now occupied by the Kettle Cove 
Golf club, to another purpose. 
The facts are that Mr. Coolidge 
has been most generous in his posi- 
tion with the golf club, and at econ- 
siderable personal inconvenience, 
has again offered the land and 
building occupied as a club-house, 
without rent for the use of the elub. 
We might add that never has he ae- 
cepted any rental for this property, 
and his action this year has probab- 
ly resulted in the continuance of the 
club and imspiring it to renewed 
activity. 
A number of new subseriptions 
have been received, and the follow- 
ing are some of the men who have 
generously subseribed for one or 
more membership: W. R. Nelson, 
Kansas City, Mo.; John Hayes Ham- 
mond, Washington, D. C.; Costello 
C. Converse, Boston, Mass.; J. Har- 
rington Walker, Detroit, Mich.; C. 
P. Sampson, Boston, Mass.; Clause 
Kilpatrick, St. Louis, Mo.; Horace 
II. Stevens, Boston, Mass.; George F. 
Willet, Boston, Mass.; Mrs. Wm. 
MeFadon, Quiney, Ill.; Mrs. Georgi- 
ana Lowell, Boston, Mass.; Ocean- 
side Hotel Co., Magnolia, Mass. 
The value of real estate and ren- 
tals are increased by the location of 
golf links in a summer colony, and 
the Kettle Cove Golf club is a dis- 
tinct asset to Magnolia. 
The executive committee will be 
glad to receive the subscriptions 
of desirable members, of those inter- 
ested in Magnolia, either for mem- 
berships or subscriptions for some 
necessary additional expense in con- 
nection with the grounds and the 
elub-house.—F rank 8. Chick, for the 
Executive committee.
