Clyde L. Ellzey ’49

Clyde Lawrence Ellzey MD died May 3, 1984, in Covington, La. He was 55. Born in McComb, Miss., he graduated from McComb H.S.

An accomplished musician, Clyde majored in music at Princeton, while studying piano with Robert Casadesus. He spent summers in France working under Nadia Boulanger at Fontainebleau, and following graduation continued his piano study in NYC. However, after some years he entered the U. of Tennessee's College of Medicine in Memphis, beginning his practice of internal medicine in 1966.

Clyde was not married, and had not been in touch with Princeton or his classmates in recent years, so the fact of his death has only now become known. Those of us who knew Clyde remember him as a warm and outgoing person of enormous talent. He exemplified all the best of his southern roots. His early death is a loss to us all.
