Carlo Grossman, a resident of East Hampton since the 1960s, died at home on Friday. He was 90 and had been in declining health. No funeral services are scheduled. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

On May 26, 1874, David H. Huntting (1815-1885) gave a historical address to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the First Presbyterian Church of East Hampton’s Sunday school. Huntting was a logical choice as a speaker since he had strong connections to the school and the church.
