Edward Coe Embury ’28

RED EMBURY died June 6, 1990, at the Winchester (Va.) Medical Center. After Lawrenceville he studied architecture at Princeton, and was a member of Charter Club. He joined the architectural firm of his father, Aymar Embury II '00, who designed Tiger Inn and Elm Club. Red served in the U.S. Army and was with the Air Transport Command in North Africa and Europe during WWII, attaining the rank of lt. colonel.

Red designed the Children's ZOO in Central Park, the new wing of the mayor's residence in N.Y.C., Gracie Mansion, the Congregational Church in Scarsdale, and numerous other school, club, and residential buildings. However, members of the Class think mainly of Red's famous mural cartoons depicting the ongoing history of the Class from 1933 to 1988, which have formed a backdrop of decoration for our reunions throughout the years, and were donated to the University last year.

Marguerite Haynes, a landscape architect, married Ted (as she called him) July 29, 1939. She died July 1, 1989. They had two sons, Philip and Edward Jr., and there are several grandchildren.

Red was an active church officer, a man of great integrity, outreaching friendliness, and an unfailing sense of humor. He was a member of the executive committee of the Class, and was always active in Princeton affairs. Our sympathy is with his sons and their families.
