Knox Hudson Culley ’49

Body

Knox was born in L.A. in 1927. He attended the Adirondack Florida School in Onchiota, N.Y., Northwood School in Lake Placid, N.Y., and the Taft School in Watertown, Conn., from which he graduated in 1944.

He served in the Army during 1945 prior to coming to Princeton, where he was a member of the Bridge Club. He spent only one term at the university, following which he attended the U. of Arizona, and then graduated from the U. of Idaho in 1949 with a degree in forestry.

Knox had several career changes before going to work for the Family Life Insurance Co., headquartered in Seattle. He worked for Family Life from 1960 until his death in Apr., 1969. Knox was in charge of sales production for northern California.

He is survived by his wife, Marion, a daughter, Deborah, a son, David, five grandchildren, a brother, Peter, and a distant cousin, Donald M. Wilson '51, who only recently obtained this information for us. Knox's direct contact with Princeton ended in 1957.

To all his survivors the class extend its sympathy.
