John Preston Barnhart ’49
John Barnhart died Dec. 30, 1997, of an aneurysm of the aorta.
He was born Mar. 15, 1928, and came to Princeton from Isaac Young H.S. in New Rochelle, N.Y. He majored in architecture, was interested in music and the visual arts, and was a member of Court Club. He served in the Army during 1946-47, achieving the rank of T5.
Following graduation, John worked as a fabric sales executive for a number of firms over the years, covering the U.S. and abroad. He then became data services manager for the Cuyahoga County, Ohio, board of elections, and worked for the Associated Estates Corp. He lived in Shaker Heights, Ohio.
In addition to Geraldine, his loving wife of 39 years, he is survived by three children, Paul J., David P., and Lisa M. We extend to them all our most sincere sympathies.
