Fred A. De Voll
 
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  W.A. Perry, who served the local Young Men's Christian Association during the past year as secretary, and who left Norwich about a month ago to accept the position of Junior secretary of boys' work at Salem, Mass., has been succeeded by Fred A. DeVoll of Glens Falls, N.Y.  Mr. De Voll, since entering association work five years ago, has served as assistant secretary at Brooklyn and Troy and as general secretary at Plattsburg and Newburg, from which latter point he comes to Norwich.  The association rooms were closed for several days to undergo a thorough cleaning and some necessary painting, and were opened again to members on Wednesday.  The new secretary has a wife and baby boy who will join him here in a few days when they will take up their residence at No. 29 Henry street.  Mr DeVoll is an earnest and enthusiastic worker and is hopeful for an association building in Norwich in the near future if the young men stand by the work.
