James Hartley King ’38
Jim died in San Francisco Oct. 25, 2001.
He came to Princeton from Harrisburg [Pa.] Academy, majored in politics, and was a member of the University choir, the band, and Dial Lodge. He earned a degree from Dickinson Law School and practiced law for many years in the Harrisburg area. He was active in local politics. He served on the Middleboro Airport Commission, played vigorous golf and tennis, and had a major role in a local production of Lady in the Dark. He and his wife, Elizabeth, joined several of the postwar class trips to Europe. Both he and Elizabeth donated their bodies to the U. of California for medical research. They have memorial markers at Elizabeth's hometown of Henderson, Ky.
Surviving are their three children, Will, Lisa, and James Jr., and two grandchildren, to whom the class extends its sympathy and warm regards.
