Body

MONTE DIED in Asheville, N.C., Nov. 8, 1993. He prepared at Montezuma School in Los Gatos, Calif., and Stony Brook (N.Y.) School. He withdrew from Princeton for the 192627 academic year, but returned the following year and graduated in 1930. His entire career, until he retired from the Foreign Service in 1961, was in the State Department, with service in a variety of posts in Europe, Africa, and Australia. His last position was as consul general in Yaounde, Cameroon. He was on the faculty of the Natl. War College in Washington. Genealogy was an absorbing interest through the years, and he was the historian of the John More Assn., making research trips to Scotland to study Morefamily origins there. He was a member of Sons of the American Revolution and the Scottish Society of Montreal. He married Elizabeth Love in 1942, and she survives. The class extends its sincere sympathy to her.
