Wayne G. Benedict Family

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Before taking final leave of their suburban home on West Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne G. Benedict and their four children were photographed to help them keep in memory the happy days passed there while Mr. Benedict was principal of Norwich High School, a position he resigned at the close of the last year.
 
Saturday they started on their long trip to New Auburn, Wis., where Mr. Benedict will engage in lumbering and farming.  he will clear a large tract of timber on the 1,000-acre farm of Colgate university.  The best wishes of their many Norwich friends will follow them to their distant home, where the professor will indulge his love of nature to his heart's content.
 
[Compiler's note:  Prof. Wayne G. Benedict and family returned East in 1916 when he became the Principle of Oxford Academy in Chenango Co., NY.  He died 8 April 1946 and was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Norwich, NY.  His obituary was posted to this blog on December 31, 2015.]
