John Kephart Jr. ’35

Jack died July 15, 1990, in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Jack prepared for Princeton at Haverford School and the Hill School. While at Princeton he roomed with Palmer Hutcheson, John McCain, and William S. Cox, was a member of Elm Club, art editor of BricaBrac and a member of the Gym Team. He also majored in politics in his senior year, after honors in architecture in his junior year. After graduating from Harvard Law School Jack practiced law with several Center City law firms in Philadelphia, including Kephart & Kephart, with whom his father, a former chief justice of the Penn. Supreme Court, was also associated. A hobby, industrial material handling and package design, led to his association with Penna. Box and Lumber Co.

About 15 years ago Jack retired from law and turned to the arts, training at the Academy of Fine Arts and becoming a painter and sculptor.

Jack shared in the ownership of the Bar N Ranch, a dude ranch located near West Yellowstone in Montana.

He is survived by a son, John W. Jr., three daughters, Marcia K. McKeon, Cynthia K. Hendricks, and Leah Duftaine, nine grandchildren and his brother, A. Evans Kephart '27, to whom we send our deepest sympathy.
