Copeland Morton Jr. ’31

COPELAND MORTON JR. died Feb. 13, 1994, at Johns Hopkins Hospital from complications after surgery. Copie came to Princeton from Calvert and Gilman Schools, and went on to Harvard Law after graduation. He played soccer and lacrosse and joined St. Paul's Society, Whig Hall, and Court Club (where he was athletic chairman).

A tax attorney and corporate secretary for Maryland Casualty Co., he retired in 1975, but continued to work after that in a private practice. During WWII, he rose to the rank of It. colonel in the army's judge advocate general's corp.

Copie served on the vestry of Christ Episcopal Church in Baltimore and as secretary of the Christ Church Foundation. He gave much time and effort to Princeton's Annual Giving over the years. His hobbies were many, but he especially enjoyed golf, stampcollecting, tennis, and travel. Copie subscribed to the Bachelors' Cotillion in Baltimore.

He was preceded at Princeton by two Brushes (1894 and 1925) and two Stewarts, (1928 and 1929). His first wife, Virginia Lee Morton, died in 1967. His widow, Ann, survives, as do three daughters (Virginia, Sally, and Marianne), his brother Edward, and his sister Frances Froelicher, three grandchildren, and seven of his wife's progeny. We will all miss Copie's warmth and his fascinating stories. The class extends its sympathy to all his family.
