John Barclay Jr. ’24

Jack died in his sleep in the early morning hours of Mar. 20, 1995, at his lifelong residence in Greensburg, Penn. "The Baron," as he was also known, would have been 95 within a month. Coming to Princeton from the Hill School, he developed his golf game, to which he became a lifelong devotee. He also loved skiing and knew many of the world's famous slopes. As a member of Colonial Club, he greatly enjoyed playing pool and billiards.

Jack succeeded his father as president of the Barclay Trust Co. of Greensburg, the Barclay Westmoreland Trust Co., and the Barclay Branch of the Mellon Bank of Pittsburgh. He retired in the late 1930s but maintained an active interest in a number of leading charitable organizations and in polishing his golf game at the Rolling Rock Club.

Soon after graduation Jack married Josephine Eicher. One of their two children, John III, predeceased him. Their daughter, Rebecca Barclay Humphrey, survives, as do her three children. Jack also is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Brody Barclay; a stepdaughter; and four step-grandchildren.
