Jacques Bramhall ’39

Body

JACK D1ED July 2, 1990, at Morristown Memorial Hospital after a long illness. Happily, he had been well enough a month earlier to attend the Princeton graduation of his grandson Jacques IV '90. We have a photo of him saluting the capandgowned graduate with happy pride. We recall him in our 50th Prade, his wheelchair propelled by that same Jacques IV, with a loving family marching along, among them Jacques III 67, granddaughter Catherine '92, and, of course, wife Betsy Jane

Until his retirement Jack had been public affairs director of the eastern division of the N.A.M. for 18 years, capping his long career as a public relations executive. A citizen of Morristown since 1922, he was an outstanding civic leader: trustee of MacCulloch Hall Historical Museum and the Washington Assn. of NJ., member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, volunteer for Meals on wheels, and a trustee of the Community Correctional Council, through which he was a volunteer tutor to Morris City. jail inmates.

To Betsy Jane, daughters Jane and Frances, sons Jacques III and Geoffrey, eight grandchildren, sister Frances, and brother George, we offer our sincere condolences.
