Frederick Halsey 1933

The heartfelt sympathy of the community is with the Rev. and Mrs. Jesse Halsey of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Southampton, whose son Frederick Isham, aged 27 years, passed away in Holmes Hospital, Cincinnati, on Thursday, December 28^th, after a two years’ illness.

Funeral services were held in the Seventh Presbyterian Church in East Walnut Hills, of which Dr. Halsey is pastor, on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock. Dr. John Christie of Wilmington, Del., a close friend of the family, conducted graveside services at 10:00 o’clock New Year’s Day morning at the family plot in Southampton Cemetery.

Mr. Halsey was graduated from Walnut Hills High School [alt.Hughes High School?], spent a year in Cornell University, and was a junior liberal arts student in Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, when he was compelled to give up his school work because of ill health. He was born in Newfoundland when his father was a member of the staff of the Grenfell Labrador Mission.
