Yr ELDER BRETHREN 
MANCHESTER'S UNIQUE ORGANIZA- 
TION HELD Irs 38TH ANNUAL 
OUTING. 
GY youngsters to the number of 
110, ranging in age from 50 years 
ald to 88 years young, gathered at 
fuck’s Point, Manchester, for the 
38th annual picnic of the Elderly 
Brethern association yesterday after- 
noon. In point of numbers, favorable 
weather and enjoyment, the event was 
one of the most successful in years. 
The attendance exceeded last year’s 
turnout by 14. 
Not the least youthful in spirit in 
any degree were the octogenarians 
who enjoyed the picnic. Nehemiah 
C. Marshall, 88, was the oldest man 
present. Other men past 80 were 
John. Rogers Allen,» 86; Joseph A. 
Torrey, J. C. Elliot, both 85; Capt. 
Ji K. Winn, 83; Julius F. Rabardy, 
83; N. B.° Goldsmith, 82; William 
Tyler, 82; Charles P. Goldsmith, 8&1; 
Charles H. Killam, 81, and Daron W. 
Morse, 81. 
Answering the call of the youthful 
president of the association, Edwin P. 
Stanley, the men assembled at two 
long tables in the pavilion about one 
o’clock. Following the invocation by 
the Rev. Charles A. Hatch of the 
Manchester» Congregational Church, 
the party made a vigorous onslaught 
upon. the appetizing clam and_ fish 
chowders prepared by F. H. Crombie, 
assisted by J. F. Babcock. The man- 
ner in which the chowder disappeared 
would have brought joy to the hearts 
of the old sea captains of Manchester 
who were the nucleus of the now 
large association. Waiters were F. L. 
Floyd, Francis Bohaker, Manuel Ben- 
edict Miguel, Jr., E. Stanley Baker, 
Carlton Needham .and Stanley Bea- 
ton, who were given a vote of thanks 
by the association. 
Seated about the tables were many 
former residents of Manchester and 
surrounding towns, who came long 
distances to be present. The roster

Following the dinner the company 
enjoyed a social hour, during which 
old friendships were renewed and 
new acquaintances made. A familiar 
figure at the gathering was Nehemiah 
S. Herron, 79, Beverly’s veteran tru- 
ant officer, who is serving his 46th 
year in the office which has brought 
him the endearing title of the “good 
Samaritan.” During his years of 
service he has earned the gratitude of 
hundreds of men who, as unruly boys, 
came under his” discipline and re- 
ceived his: good advice. His con- 
stant companion during the day was 
John B. Goldsmith, another Beverly 
man prominent in Odd Fellowship 
and for more than 20 years a finan- 
cial secretary of the order. 
Another sturdy figure was that of 
John Rogers Allen, 87, of Manches- 
ter. Mr. Allen was one of the Forty- 
niners, who sailed from Beverly in 
the brig Metropolis, with Capt. John 
Bennett and made the trip “round 
ines Horn: 
_ Missing from the circle was Wil- 
liam Johnson, 99, who is the oldest — 
member of the association. He was 
too feeble to attend. 
The report of the secretary, I. M. 
Marshall, at the business meeting 
contained the following names of 
members who have died during the 
past year: Col. Benjamin F. Cook of 
Gloucester, 82, on September 3, 19153. 
Robert Baker, 55, Manchester, Sep- 
tember 20, 1915; Larkin W. Story, 
76, Beverly, April 13, 1916; Charles 
O. Howe, 68, Manchester, April 17, 
1916; Charles H. Rust, 80, Jenkin- 
town, Pa., Apr. 26, 1916; Rev. E. P. 
Tenney, 80, Lynn, July 24, 1016; 
George W. Dew, Melrose, August 19, 
1915; John F. Annable, Boston, 
November 24, 1915; Charles H. Day, 
Beverly Farms, November 24, 1915; 
Dev. DeWitt S. Clark, 74, Salem, July 
27, 1916. 
A deficit of about $25 for the year 
gave rise to the question of raising 
the price of the dinner or drawing - 
upon the balance in the bank. It 
was decided not to advance the price, 
as it might have the effect of limiting 
the attendance. 
The nominating committee, com- 
posed of A. M. Killam, F. W. Bell 
and D. T. Beaton, brought in the fol- 
lowing list of officers for whom the 
secretary was instructed to cast one 
ballot: Edwin P. Stanley, president; 
L. W. Floyd, vice-president; I. M. 
Marshall, secretary-treasurer; Henry 
T. Bingham, T. C. Rowe, John G. 
Haskell, T. B. Stone, C. M. Dodge 
and F. M. Stanwood, executive com- 
mittee. 
Alfred S. Jewett delivered an en- 
comium on the departed members of 
the association, making particular ref- 
ereence to Larkin W. Story, who was 
a valued member of the body. He 
compared the occasion to that of a
