Frederick Hutchinson Kingsbury Jr. ’29

FREDDY DIED on Nov. 27, 1989. He prepared for college at Montclair High and Hill. At Princeton he was manager of both freshman and varsity golf, was vice-director of the Undergraduate Schools Committee, and was a member of Cottage.

Freddy started working for Brown Brothers almost at the instant of the 1929 crash and stayed with the firm, which became Brown Brothers Harriman, until he retired at the end of a brilliant banking career. Until 1945 his work was in the investment-advisory service and securities. Then he went into commercial banking and took the lead in developing foreign banking relationships, especially in the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain, France, Mexico, and Central America. He was a director of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in the U.S., the international advisory committee of the American Bankers Assn., and the foreign-exchange committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He was a trustee of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York, St. Barnabas Hospital, the Kimberley School, and the Montclair Art Museum. He had residences in New York,

Tafton, Penn., and Lake Wales, Fla. He was on the board of the Hill Alumni Assn. and the Princeton Alumni Council.

In 1934 Freddy married Charlotte Meyer, and their children are Mrs. Hope Costikyan and Frederick H. III. In 1962 he married Eleanor Bried O'Donnell, and she survives. Other survivors are two stepchildren, Mrs. Ellen Page and William P. O'Donnell III. Freddy's brother, Dr. Henry A. '32, died in 1989. The class extends sincere sympathy to Freddy's family.
