Rockefeller does not I publlc ophlion ne begins smoke or drink. Long observation of i to a mt of ev tha the example of his equally temperate even todav mildlv progressiTe among strengthened a conviction i of against both drinking and smoking came naturally to him Chose Quiet College When it came time for college, the comoaratively small Brown university Vas chosen. Rockefeller was a quiet, studious, model young man with no bad habits. An allowance of $100 a month was more than enough for the scale on which he, lived. His fellow members of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity remember his earnest way, his especial attention to orthodox Bantist theology and regular attend- ance at chapel.

In his third year he 'made Phi Beta Kappa honorary scholarship society, but when he was graduated" in 1897 he stood midway between the middle and the top of his class. I It was during those college days i that he met and won Abbey Aldrich, daughter of Senator Nelson W. Aid- rich" of Rhode Island. Aldrich, a haughty Mark Hann a henchman of high tariff and big business attach- ments. insisted on a fashionable wedding with 1,000 guests and a king's ransom in presents.

The shy. youthful Rockefeller no shrank from the ordeal, but insisted i on a "no wine" rule at the wedding breakfast and on the choice of the aeiiig Congregationalist minister who bad married his father and mother 35 years before. And Family' People The pair were well mated-and al- ways congenial. Despite the baronial surroundings in which she had been reared. Miss Aldrich was also a se- rious minded young woman who cared little for "society" as such.

an ideal partner for the kind of life Rockefeller visioned for himself, They remain so today, and they have carried forward the example set by the elder John D. of being "home and family" people. Destined, as the only son. to in- evitable administration of the huge fortune of his father. Rockefeller entered the offices at 26 Broadway.

He did not start out like so many rich men's sons "to. work his way up from the He did not have any specific job or title. It was I simply understood that he was his father's son, and that some day ail i these complex affairs would be his to administer. He sat in on conferences, listened to older and more experienced men. He began to learn, to assume re- sponsibilities by degrees.

The father allowed the son a rather free rein, Gradually this, interest or that, this property or the other, were trans- i ferred to the son. i Even the Sunday school class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, formerly taught by the father, now I passed on to the son. who succeeded Charles Evans Hughes as teacher. Felt Sting of Criticism As a college youth. Rockefeller had felt the sting of the criticism of his father's methods and career.

College boys discuss these matters without gloves. As he entered business, the younger man was keenly conscious of the cartoons, and special articles, the exposures that pilloried his father as a grasping octopus! a bloodless, greedy monster. He always defended his father stoutly, and still defends his memory. How could he do other- services were to be held at-16 o'clock; Moran; C. L.

N. Rushing, of Groveton, Texas, a daughter by a former marriage.

Mr. Shepard was bom at Byars Station, C-hio, November 19, 1374. He entered the utiltiy service with a traction company as a young man, and in 1398 he came to San Antonio where he was associated with a street car company, and lat- I er with a railroad company in Mexico. In the period between his return to Texas and his association i with the West Texas Utilities company (then the American Public Service company) he was interested in various traction systems in Tex- I as and Oklahoma. He became connected with the American Public Service company at Baird in 1918.

When the West Texas Utilities company was organized, taking over the American Public Service system, he went with the new concern and later was transferred to Stamford as district superintendent. He sen ed about a year as superintendent at Hamiin, and i returned to Stamford for a term before being transferred to Cisco about 10 years ago, where he snc- i ceeded P. W.
