Arthur T. Hedden Jr. ’46

Art died May 6, 1997, at Community Medical Center in Toms River, N.J., after a brave battle with lymphomatic cancer. A lifelong bachelor, Art was born in Trenton, and lived in Lawrenceville 34 years before moving to the Jersey shore at Harvey Cedars 18 years ago.

A graduate of Lawrenceville School, Art joined the Class of '46 in the fall of 1942, served two and a half years in the Army Ordnance, and returned in the summer of 1946 to complete his degree in English in 1948. He then began a 37-year career with Sears, Roebuck in the mid-Atlantic and New England area. An active churchman, Art was first an elder and Sunday School superintendent at Lawrence Road Presbyterian, and then a Zion Lutheran Church member in Barnegat Light, where he was v.p. of church council. In retirement, he particularly enjoyed volunteer work with the Ocean County Hospital and Ocean County Literacy Program in Manahawkin.

Art is survived by two brothers, Robert W. and Richard A., two sisters, Dorothy Miller and Virginia Demeter, and by several nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and -nephews. To them the class offers our sincere sympathy. Art will be remembered for his outgoing friendliness, sincerity, and loyalty to the class and to Princeton.
