Alice Trumbull Scoville, age 101, died Oct. 15th at Bridges in Cornell Heights where she had lived for 5 years. She was born in Rosemont, PA, to Katharine Gallaudet Scoville and Samuel Scoville, Jr., lawyer and author. She graduated from Vassar College in 1933 and married Stuyvesant (Peter) Barry in 1935. After a brief law career for Peter in Boston and New York they moved to Haverford, PA, where he became a teacher and they joined the Society of Friends (Quakers.) They led Quaker summer work camps in rural areas in several states and this led to 3 years in a log cabin in Kentucky where Peter taught at a boarding school in a mountainous area without automobiles; Alice taught remedial reading, sometimes riding a mule to one room schoolhouses. In 1948 they finally settled near New Hope, PA, where Peter began teaching at Buckingham Friends School, became Principal and remained until retirement. Alice was an adventurous traveler and went alone into Communist Poland to visit a family to whom she had sent CARE packages during World War II and ended up meeting Lech Walesa. She found ancient Spanish documents in her Great Aunt Alice's trunk and discovered they had been stolen from New Mexico state archives; she received a hero's welcome in Santa Fe when she returned them 100 years later. She loved music, conversation and laughter and often viewed life as a series of hilarious episodes. Writing was in her blood and she wrote a humorous column about daily life for a local newspaper as well as a thorough (unpublished) biography of her great-grandfather, Henry Ward Beecher. She is survived by Frank Barry, Lansing, NY (an Extension Associate at Cornell's Family Life Development Center for 28 years); Katharine Maclaurin, (NH), David Barry, (PA), Roxana Robinson, (CT), and Bethany Menkart, (VT). She has nine grandchildren including Maria and Rebecca Barry, both of Trumansburg, and Emily Barry, (OR). Great-grandchildren include Liam, Dawson, Sophia of Trumansburg and 7 more.
