Century Memorial
George Blagden, though feeble health has for some years kept him away, was in former years a familiar figure in the rooms of The Century, of which he had been a member more than thirty years. Of New England birth, and a graduate of Harvard, he early entered the banking business, in this city and was for a long time a member of the firm of Clark, Dodge, & Co. He was active in charitable work, especially that of the time-honored Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor of which he was for many years a manager. His kindly disposition and sterling character won for him a large circle of friends in The Century, where his memory is cordially cherished.
