John H. Marter ’38

JOHN MARTER DIED Oct. 23, 1994, in his Port Republic, N.J., home, which was his base for hunting and fishing. His life had many facets, in all of which he excelled.

He won three letters on our celebrated lacrosse team and majored in economics, which he put to use as an organizational analyst for 19 years for Atlantic Refining Co. This was interrupted by Navy service in the 7th Fleet in ordnance.

In 1959, he returned to his hometown, Haddonfield, N.J., to become its first administrator. He put his stamp of integrity on its government for 20 dedicated years. His peers elected him president of the New Jersey Municipal Government Assn.

John loved the outdoors and raised English pointers for bird hunting and field trials. A loyal Princetonian, he was a friend of Lacrosse and worked for Annual Giving. In 1989-1992, he was v.p. for Annual Giving (class agent).

John met his wife, Elizabeth Scattergood, in the sixth grade. They were married in 1941; she died in 1993. He is survived by daughters Elizabeth Brown, Jane, and Sarah, brother Henry and his sister Eleanor Seely. Like them, we will miss his always cheery outlook.
