Jay E. Morehouse ’32

Body

After a long struggle with cancer, Jay Morehouse died at his home in Pomperang Woods in Salisbury, Conn., on July 22, 1996. He and his wife, Marie, had just celebrated their 60th anniversary.

Upon graduation, Jay went into the marketing end of the oil business. For 30 years he worked with the Shell Oil Co., mainly in marketing and personnel, and as administrative assistant to regional v.p.s. During WWII, he was in the Army Air Force from 194246, ending up as group adjutant of the 47th bomb group, and upon separation he was appointed major.

Jay was a loyal Princetonian and classmate, and in spite of ill health he made it to our 60th reunion.

Besides his wife, Jay leaves a daughter, Barbara, a granddaughter, and a grandson, to all of whom the class expresses its deep sympathy.
