Frank A. McFerran Jr. ’49

Frank, a prominent Pittsburgh attorney, died Oct. 18, 1994, after losing a valiant struggle with a cancerous brain tumor.

He was born in Cincinnati on Aug. 16, 1925, and prepared at the Wyoming School there. Frank was a master sergeant in the Army Field Artillery from 1943-46 in the ETO. At Princeton he majored in economics and was a member of Key and Seal Club.

Following graduation he attended Yale Law School, graduating in 1952, and subsequently joined the law firm of Paul, Lawrence & Rock in Pittsburgh. He was in general practice since that time, was a member of the firm of Plowman, Spiegel & Lewis when he died, and also had his own law office. He married Louise Keefe in 1953, and they had sons Frank III, Robert, and John, and a daughter, Nancy.

Dedicated to his work, Frank was a member of the American, Pennsylvania, and Allegheny Bar Associations, served on the local Bar public relations committee, and was vice-chairman of its TV subcommittee and a member of its legal education committee.

Frank was survived by his devoted wife, children, two grandchildren, and a brother, Harry. To each of them we extend our deepest sympathies at the loss of this very decent and hardworking man.
