–Class of 1902 July 1, 1898 — Died in San Juan Hill, Cuba — Memorial article found at Annual Reunion 1899 – start at page 38, picture at page 39 — “…In athletics his interest knew no measure; he introduced foot ball into the Military Academy, trained up an awkward team until it could defeat the team the sister Academy at Annapolis, and I
think his work is still to be seen in the pluck and spirit that characterizes the foot ball game now played by the cadets.”
