David Potter Elliott ’34

Dave Elliott, a retired secondary school teacher and self-employed writer in Port Washington, L.I., with an impressive Princeton heritage, died July 15, 1996. His grandfather was William Elmer Potter 1863; an uncle, David Potter, for whom he was named, was Class of 1896; his brother, William P., is a past president of the Class of '28.

Dave worked for a year after Princeton at Guaranty Trust in NYC before joining the faculty of Peekskill Military Academy, where he remained for 10 years. In 1944 he moved to Blair Academy as an instructor of English and adviser to the student council. He left teaching in 1951 to devote full time to research and writing, primarily fiction. He married Katherine "Kay" Scott, a retired high school teacher, in 1957.

Surviving besides Kay, is a son, Stephen P. '64, two stepsons, Thomas S. White Jr. '48 and David W. White, nine grandchildren, and seven greatgrandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
