Body

Carson died Nov. 9, 2006, in Langhorne, Pa. Services were held at Lawrence Road Presbyterian Church in Lawrenceville, N.J.

He was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in San Mateo, Calif. He entered Princeton in 1942 and graduated in 1947, the year he was married. During World War II he served in the Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant junior grade. Following a brief career in the retail automobile business, he spent the major part of his life in the brokerage business in San Francisco.

Carson is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Isabelle Mears Peck; two sons; two daughters; 10 grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; and four step-great-grandchildren. He considered his family to be his greatest accomplishment, and will be sorely missed. The class extends its sincere sympathy to them all.
