SALISBURY - Elizabeth Stone Potter passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025 due to complications of Parkinson's disease. She had recently celebrated her 94th birthday.

She was born in northern (then still rural) Westchester county to Ralph and Betty Stone.

"Pebble" (a nick name afforded her as the first child in a family of Stones) cherished all her communities, especially those in New York City and Norfolk, CT.

After a childhood education in a much storied one room schoolhouse in Waccabuc, she left home for northern Virginia and became a proud member of the Foxcroft School class of 1949.

Graduating from Foxcroft she went, with her big horse in tow, to Wellesley College. There (or at least nearby) she met the dashing Idahoan with a sports car who would become her husband for nearly 60 years.

She and Dave set up a home in New York City after some time at Marine Corps camps and in Cambridge, MA, where their first child was born.

Pebble raised two boys in the teeth of the complicated era that was the ’60 and ‘70s, and she did a really good job of it, perhaps helped along by her one nightly cigarette and vodka on the rocks.

Education was the love of her professional life. She taught for a little while at Spence School, but spent nearly 40 years teaching at Chapin School. She founded the audio-visual department at Chapin (even though she was perplexed by the family VCR machine), taught lower school science, led a home room for fourth graders, and generally left a positive imprint on generations of talented young women. She loved Chapin – its people and values, and all the girls she taught there over the years – and worked very hard at being the best teacher she could be. She no doubt sends a Green and Gold hug down to all her former colleagues and students and wishes the very best to every girl who ever walked in the doors on East End Avenue.

In the early ‘70s, Pebble’s friendship with Barbara Gridley led her to Norfolk, a then remote but highly civilized town in northwest Connecticut. The house on Mountain Road became home, a refuge but also a place of excitement and discovery. Norfolk was and is a place filled with what Pebble referred to as “all the best people” – she loved everyone and we know that she missed dearly her social life with the Isabellas and all the friends in town and at the Country Club.

Though too many of those friends have already left, there are many still there and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the love you continued to show Pebble after she moved to Noble Horizons.

And her last community at Noble Horizons was a gift to us all. It would take too long to thank everyone there, but we are deeply grateful for the care and love and tenderness you showed Elizabeth (she finally lost that nick name when she got to Noble!). It is a wonderful, caring place.

Elizabeth was much beloved by her sons David and Nick, her daughters-in-law Ellen Bauerle and Lee Findlay Potter, her grandchildren Claire (Michael Schneider) and Natalie Potter and Arthur, Lila and Nina Potter, and most recently a great grandson Bennet Stone Potter-Schneider. We all will miss her dearly.

There is so much more to say – the pets and the sports, her resilience and humor, and the trips and the curiosity about nature and the environment. Elizabeth loved this earth and she made everything she could of her time here. We love her and miss her.

The family is planning a memory service in the Spring of 2026.

AMESVILLE – Jeremy Dakin, 78, passed away August 31, 2025 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center after a long battle with COPD and other ailments. Jeremy was a dear friend to many, and a fixture of the Amesville community.

There will be a service in his memory at Trinity Lime Rock Episcopal Church on September 27th at 11 a.m.

Below is the obituary Jeremy himself wrote:

Born July 20, 1947, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

A resident of Salisbury, CT for over 75 years, he graduated from UVM in 1970, at which time he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a German translator (“It just seemed like a better idea than learning Vietnamese”), and served two years in West Berlin.

Returning to Vermont in 1973 he began a 16-year gig as a ski shop manager and a professional ski patroller, which led to a 30-year stint as an EMT.

A direct descendant of Rebecca Nurse (who was hanged as a witch in Salem in 1692), he is survived by a nephew, Robin Dakin, of Englewood, Ohio, his wife Amy, and a flock of grandnieces, all of whom seem to have inherited the family love of camping and canoeing.

The love of his life, Wren Smith, passed away in 2007 after a 10-year battle with breast cancer. By the time he was seventy, Jeremy’s physical activities were curtailed by COPD, due to a lifetime of smoking.

Rather than spend money on flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society and/or the American Lung Association. But, for Pete’s sake, don’t smoke.

MILLERTON — The world lost an exceptional educator and all-around good guy when Theodore (Ted) R. Kneeland passed away at the Sharon Center for Health and Rehabilitation on September 5, 2025, following a three-decade-long battle with heart disease.

Born May 14, 1947, in Buffalo, N.Y., Ted always credited his parents, Eleanor Sengpiel Kneeland and Theodore R. Kneeland Sr., for sending him to Cheverus High School in Portland, Maine, where as a scholar-athlete he played all the classic sports, was a member of the 1965 New England championship debating team, and learned to love learning and ideas.

Inspired by football superstar Jim Brown, Ted attended Syracuse University where "across a crowded room" of some 2,000 freshmen, he first spotted the love of his life, partner in all things, and adoring wife, Carol.

Following graduation in 1969, they married in a candlelight ceremony. The romance continued for one day short of 56 years with flowers, candy, mutual respect, a loving family, and a conversation that never ended.

The teacher whom students nicknamed "Zeus" spent three years teaching at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, before beginning a 29-year career at Trinity-Pawling School in Pawling, N.Y. There, frustrated by his inability to reach a few students whom he knew had potential, he followed the suggestion of Headmaster Philips Smith and Dean of Faculty John Lloyd Owen and began to search for answers to the problem.

The quest quickly resulted in his development of the innovative Language Retraining Program, designed to help bright dyslexic students reach their full potential as they learned to read, write, and think.

At a time when few believed those students could be taught, Ted followed his credo of "Just Take Care of the Kids," freely sharing the program throughout the country and with educators who came to the school from as far away as Hong Kong and the British Isles.

Early on, an IBM executive grateful for the help Ted had given to his son, arranged for the school to receive one of the first six Local Area Networks in the country. Ted was designated an IBM fellow, brainstorming monthly with developers on ways in which computers could facilitate education and aid in reading and writing.

Zeus was polyonymously known as “Boomer,” as his prowess on the faculty softball team was as impressive as in the classroom. He loved mentoring young colleagues and believed that every encounter on campus was a teachable opportunity.

Bridging the Town/Gown Divide, Ted retired as coach of his New England championship golf team to volunteer for his son's teams at Brewster's Melrose School and in Pawling. During his summers on the shores of Lake Champlain in Shoreham, VT, he volunteered for Hook Kids on Golf, providing instruction and handmade clubs for area youngsters.

In his early 50s Ted was diagnosed with potentially deadly heart problems. He was lucky enough to receive a newly developed treatment from Dr. Harvey Kramer of Southbury, CT, who was and continues to be a firm believer in the importance of keeping up with the latest advances in the field.

Despite his challenges, Ted continued to teach, returning in 2001 to his family's ancestral home in "hardscrabble Maine," where he spent 11 years at Fryeburg Academy as Dean of Faculty and Director of Studies with his brother in education, Headmaster Daniel Lee. They cut the dropout rate to "nearly nothing," raising the number of students who progressed to "the next level" to "nearly everyone," with many students becoming the first in their families to attend college — most on scholarship.

Ted coordinated with faculty at the middle school in order to better prepare students for The Academy’s challenging program, which he strengthened with the addition of multiple Advanced Placement (AP) classes.

Again "Taking Care of the Kids," this lifelong educator collaborated with Maine community colleges, actively promoted the idea of free tuition, and arranged for students to take courses and get a jumpstart on credits while still at The Academy.

His health declining, Ted was given a dire prognosis. But good fortune once again intervened, taking him to the Cleveland Clinic — the number one heart hospital in the world. There he was treated by top physicians Walid Saliba and Randall Starling. Coincidentally, Starling helped author the lifesaving paper that prompted Dr. Kramer's treatment many years earlier.

Against all odds, the cutting-edge treatments in Cleveland brought Ted two dozen more years as he courageously volunteered as a guinea pig for experimental procedures that have since helped others all over the world.

With all he did, Ted’s first priority was always his family. When Carol was incapacitated by a drunk driver, Ted expanded his Daddy Duties to include everything from gourmet PB and J's to puddle-jumping lessons, forming an unbreakable bond with their toddler son, Douglas. For the next four years, Ted helped Carol navigate the then non-handicap-accessible world, ensuring that she could freely enjoy life and that they could continue teaching as a team.

When the two retired from Maine in 2012, they moved to Millerton, N.Y., to be close to their expanding family. There, Ted wrote the column "Bleacher Views " for The Millerton News and cheered on Hotchkiss teams coached by his beloved son, best friend, golf buddy and Latin mentor, Doug.

He treasured time with his deeply cherished grandsons, Teddy and Henry Kneeland, who brought a bright light to his world as he listened to their adventures, ate their Playdoh spaghetti, and watched proudly as they developed into thoughtful and loving young men. Helping Teddy to design a first baseman's mitt as he moved into that legacy position and meeting the challenge of keeping up with Henry's chess prowess gave him immeasurable joy.

Ted also loved and is survived by his dear sister-in-law, Karen Carson of Medina, OH; his niece Leslie Putnam; his niece Holly and her husband Edward Tasz of Burgettstown, PA; and his nephews Eddie and Connor Tasz, also of Burgettstown.

He was predeceased by his parents; his brother, William Kneeland; and his brother-in-law and good friend, Curtis Carson.

Ted’s life will be among those celebrated at the Alumni Weekend Memorial Service on October 4 at Trinity Pawling.

In all, Ted was grateful for a life well lived and for all of those who enriched and enabled it. Should you choose to, he would be delighted to know that you would, in whatever way possible, be "Taking Care of the Kids."

Lewis L. Hamilton, M.D. of Boca Grande, FL and Salisbury, CT died peacefully at home in Salisbury on July 20, 2025 surrounded by his loving family and his dog at his feet.

He was 85 and lived an extraordinary life, valuing his relationships with family and friends above all else while also quietly contributing many remarkable achievements to his communities especially as they related to medicine, education and conservation.

Lewis, or "Dewey" as he was known to family and life long friends, was born on August 4, 1939 to Dr. John Leckey Hamilton and Helen Wells Hamilton in the Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburg, PA where his father was a surgeon. Lewis was the third son of four and spent many of his formative years at Wells Farm in Brooke County, West Virginia, his mother's family's homestead which has been in the Wells family since the early 1770's. During his childhood, Lewis lived in Colliers, WV, Allison Park, PA and Grand Lake, MI (where he spent summers to avoid the polio epidemic raging through the country before the polio vaccine was available). As a child, Lewis developed a profound appreciation and love of Nature that remained with him throughout the course of life and inspired his commitment to conservation, education and medicine. He also developed a deep love of fly fishing (tying his own flies), shooting clays and quail, as well as golf and sports of many kinds.

Lewis skipped a few grades in elementary school and entered Shady Side Academy (SSA) as a young 8th grader. He quickly distinguished himself as an excellent student and was president of the Sargon Society (the school honor society) as well as a talented athlete having been chosen as MVP in football and as well as being captain and MVP of the baseball team. Lewis was chosen as the SSA representative for the American Field Service summer exchange program and lived in France which broadened his worldview greatly. After SSA, Lewis attended Yale with a class of 1,000, graduating in 1960 with a BS in Physics. Initially intending to go to graduate school physics, his educational direction changed, under some influence from his family towards medical school and thus enrolled in the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, aka "P&S" with a class of 100, where he received an MD degree in 1964.

Shortly after graduation, Lewis met Katharine "Kitty" Bramwell, on the porch of the Uplands, a dear friend's home, in Keene Valley, NY. It was love at first sight and that evening he reached his hand over to Kitty's and told her he would marry her; in June 1964, Lewis and Kitty were married in Princeton, N.J. just before his internship began at Bellevue in Manhattan. Lewis and Kitty were married for almost 30 years. Kitty was an accomplished writer, published poet and one time writer in residence at Yaddo. Tragically, in December of 1992, nine months after her diagnosis of malignant melanoma, Kitty died just after publishing her first book of poems.

Over the years from 1964-1976, Lewis and Kitty lived in many places for his post graduate training and military service, including Harlem and Augusta Georgia, Grover's Mill, NJ, London, UK, Paradise Valley, AZ. While in Georgia, Lewis was a Captain in the U.S. Army volunteering for service during the Vietnam War at Fort Gordon where he was "Chief of Hospital Clinics," and oversaw five divisions including emergency services which gave him valuable clinical, administrative and public health experiences. Lewis was awarded the National Defense Service Medal for meritorious service from 1966-1968 for his efforts. Shortly thereafter, he added "subspecialty boards" in EEG, EMG and clinical physiology to his education and practice. Additionally, Lewis became an examiner for the "American Board of Neurology" neurology boards, examining candidates for certification. Immediately after his neurology training, Lewis joined several successful physician groups in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ for his first private practice experience.

In 1974, Lewis and Kitty's only child was born, Heidi, and in 1976, they moved to Cooperstown, NY, where Lewis joined the senior staff of the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital ("Basset Hospital") and while also serving as an Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology at Columbia P&S as well as an Adjunct Professor of Clinical Medicine (Neurology) at Dartmouth Medical School. Lewis was proud of being a doctor at Basset Hospital and noted that the combination of the Clark Foundation and Columbia University made possible what has been described as a successful "rural health prototype" with great academic credentials. Lewis had numerous publications in journals such as J.A.M.A. and the New England Journal of Medicine and greatly enjoyed teaching and practicing medicine. Before retiring from medicine in 1996, Lewis had over 10 distinguished appointments and certificates, was a member of four professional societies including being recognized as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.

In addition to his medical contributions, Lewis was very active and engaged in his community and held over 15 senior leadership roles and board positions in a broad range of organizations related to conservation and education including serving as President of of the Otsego County Conservation Association, President of the Hudson Mohawk Neurosciences Society and the local Board of Directors of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation while making many contributions to Yale over the years. Additionally, Lewis' love of the Adirondack mountains led him to become a member of the Ausable Club in St. Huberts, NY and his engagement in his local communities and his love of golf enabled him to enjoy the sport and friendships with fellow members of the Gasparilla Beach and Golf Club in Boca Grande, FL as well as the Cooperstown Country Club in Cooperstown, NY.

In 1993, Lewis married Lucy Battel Hager, known as "Bunny", who also lived in Cooperstown and was known for her humor, generosity and sense of adventure. Bunny was a generous philanthropist and patron of the Arts and was also a proud "angel" of the Dodger Production Group and on the board of Cole Kitchen, a London theatrical agency. Lewis and Bunny traveled the world over, celebrating almost 30 years of marriage until her death in 2023.

In 2024, Lewis met and proposed to the love of his life, Linda Low Wolcott of Boca Grande, FL and Salisbury, CT. Lewis' fiancée, Linda is an accomplished artist and graduated from Miss Porter's School and attended the Sorbonne, Paris, the Ecole Fleury Delaporte, Paris and has done additional study at the Parsons School of Design, New York and at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, Connecticut. Linda has exhibited her paintings at galleries in Connecticut, Maine, New York, Palm Beach and Boca Grande, Florida. Linda was also a successful business woman and while in New York, was vice president of Jean Laporte L'Artisan Parfumeur while also designing and selling her jewelry through the Kruger Gallery, New York. Lewis and Linda shared many things: their love of travel and adventure, long walks in Boca Grande as well as the woods of Salisbury, CT, shooting clays, entertaining their many friends and family. Their home was full of laughter, love, fun, family and friends (and their beloved dog) coming and going effortlessly filling their days with joy. Theirs was a love affair unrivaled in its beauty and depth.

Lewis was a brilliant gentleman who dearly loved his family and friends. He took tremendous pride in being intellectually curious and honest, had a wicked and dry sense of humor, a profound sense of right and wrong, and was well known for his kindness, affability, and optimism. Lewis was unassuming, thoughtful, and had a tremendous impact on those he loved and met throughout the course of his life. He is dearly missed.

Lewis is survived by his fiancée, Linda L. Wolcott, his daughter, Heidi H. Kerko (David) as well as his beloved grandchildren: Katharine Kerko, Alexander Kerko and Nicholas Kerko. Lewis' brothers, John W. Hamilton (Debbie), Herbert H. Hamilton (Dian), and Richard G. Hamilton predeceased him. Lewis' family includes those he loved as if they were his own children: nephews, John B. Hamilton and his sons, Dr. Baker Hamilton (Emily), Capt. John Hamilton, USMC, (Lise); John S. Hamilton (Pamela); nieces, Nancy Hamilton (Chip) & her daughter, Ellie Styzkiel (Adam); Elizabeth Lavezzorio (Nicholas) her sons, William and Nicholas; niece Brooke Mullenix (Michael) and nephew Thomas Hamilton. Lewis also would like to remember his extended family including Heidi B. Humes (Bill), Helena VCB Humes, Julie F. Humes, Lucy Townsend, Shelley Graham (Tom), Lyman Townsend (Amy) and their families.

Two memorial services are being planned: one in Boca Grande, FL this fall and the second in Keene Valley, NY in the Spring, the details of which will be forthcoming as soon as they are finalized. Contributions in Lewis' honor, in lieu of flowers please, may be made to any of the organizations he appreciated supporting including ATIS (Adirondack Trail Improvement Society), Gasparilla Island Conservation and Improvement Association, The Johann Fust Library Foundation, and the Buckley Institute at Yale University.
