Edward Arthurs Supplee ’43

Ed died on Aug. 8, 2002. He was 81.

Born and raised in Guilford, Md., Ed graduated from the Gilman School in 1939. At Princeton, he received his degree in Latin.

During WWII he served with an Army artillery outfit in the Pacific; recalled to duty in the Korean War, he was discharged as a captain. Taking a law degree from the U. of Maryland, Ed began his legal career at Clark, Thompson, and Smith of Baltimore.

In 1952 he joined Mercantile-Safe Deposit & Trust Co., retiring as vice president. Much involved in Baltimore civic affairs, he was a member of the Citizens Housing and Planning Assn. for nearly 40 years.

While on campus, Ed became a member of Cottage Club, held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the ROTC, and was proud to have been a member of the 150-lb. football team the year they won the championship.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, the former Mary Carroll Wilsom; two sons, Edward and Scott; daughter Cynthia Swart; four grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter. To the entire family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
