Henry N. W. Rideout died in Somerville,
Mass., January 11, 1925, in his sixty-first year.
He was a prominent figure in his class at The
Massachusetts Agricultural College
from the time he entered until he graduated in
1887. He was always congenial and was considered the best dressed member of his class. He was the best penman and plainest writer in his class and as a penman he had few if any equals. Employed since his graduation by the Boston & Maine Railroad as Assistant Paymaster, he was trusted with thousands of dollars and sent to different parts of New England where the employees were paid by him from a car run over the road for the purpose.
His death was sudden and unexpected. He
was taken suddenly ill while attending a social
function with his wife at the home of a close
friend of theirs.
He attended the commencement exercises
at his Alma Mater in June 1924. He always
took a keen interest in the progress of the
College and in the welfare of his classmates to
whom he was known as "Bede" Rideout.
His ancestors were of the Old New England
stock dating back to the Puritans. The Rideout
family was prominent socially in Quincy and
Boston for years. His father died about five
years ago leaving Henry and two other sons.
He married Mary E. Johns, who survives
him. They had no children.
