Henry McKean Ingersoll ’51

Henry died Nov. 1, 1998, of cancer at his home in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Born Oct. 29, 1929, the day the stock market crashed, he was destined to follow a career in financial services.

Then came a career in stock brokerage -- first Merrill Lynch, then over 30 years with Smith Barney, where he became an s.v.p. in sales. He was a past president of the Philadelphia Securities Assn.

During the Korean War, Henry served in Germany with the 28th Infantry Division. Afterwards he became captain of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry.
