Clark Hungerford ’49

Body

Clark died Dec. 11, 2014, at his home in Lake Bluff, Ill.

He came to Princeton from the Lawrenceville School and studied civil engineering. Clark left in 1947 and subsequently earned a civil engineering degree from Auburn University and an MBA from the University of Chicago.

He spent his entire career in the railway industry, first with Southern Railway for 19 years, then with Burlington Northern in Chicago for seven years, and finally with the Western Railway Association, then known as the Small Railway Service Association. At the time of his retirement, he was listed as president of the Western Weighing and Inspection Bureau.

In our 50th yearbook, Clark wrote of his retirement years and mentioned that his “current activities involve developing a golf swing … and having financial interests in several quality resort-property developments.”

We hope the ventures were successful and extend our sympathy and condolences to his wife, Twila; and their children, Shirley H. King, Sherry H. DeBardeleben, Clark F. Hungerford, Darrald Hungerford, and Victoria H. Rivi.
