James Greeley McGowin II ’48

The class is saddened to record the death of Greeley McGowin on Feb. 18, after a brief illness at his home in Chapman, Ala. He and Ninette also had a residence in Savannah. Greeley was a loyal Princetonian in every way and attended all our major reunions from the 25th on.

He was a graduate of Episcopal H.S., Alexandria, Va. At Princeton, his major was history and he was in Cloister Inn. He graduated and went on to Pembroke College, Oxford for two years.

Greeley's business career was entirely in the lumber industry. He was first in the family business, W. T. Smith Lumber, until it was sold to Union Camp in 1966. He worked for Union Camp until he retired in 1991, the last 20 years in Savannah as v.p. for woodlands and wood products. He continued to be active in industry professional associations.

To his widow, Ninette, and daughters, Mary Alice '76 and True, the class extends its sympathy and shares in their bereavement.
