Henry S. Jeanes III ’52

Harry Jeanes, the son of Henry Jr. ’27, came to the class from St. Paul’s. He majored in geology, joined Cap, and rowed on the 150-pound crew. He was in NROTC and roomed with Sam Ewing.

After graduation, Harry served as a lieutenant junior grade (and stayed in the Navy Reserve to make lieutenant), then, following his dream of becoming a farmer, earned a degree in agronomy at UC, Davis in 1961.

He bought a farm near Mercersburg, Pa., where he raised sheep, livestock, and hay, as well as three children. He served as supervisor of Warren Township and as a vestryman and delegate to the Diocesan Convention of the Episcopal Church. As he reported in the Book of Our History, he read widely, kept in touch with classmates, and showed up for ’52’s reunions.

Harry died Jan. 9, 2014, in York Harbor, Maine, where he had spent many summers. He leaves his sister, Carol Hollingsworth; his brother Marshall; and his former wife, Shirley A. Jeanes, and their children, Grace, Amity,

and Henry S. IV. The class offers sympathy to them all and a salute to Harry for his service to our country.
