MacKinnon Ellis ’24

Body

MACKINNON ELLIS DIED Oct. 25, 1993. Kin prepared at Culver. After graduating with our class, he attended the Univ. of Pennsylvania Medical School. He interned at the Bryn Mawr Hospital. He practiced medicine in that city for 23 years. During WWII, he served in the navy. He was discharged as a commander. While in the Solomon Islands, he injured his back. As a result of this, he decided to join the staff of the Veterans' Administration. He served as chief of staff at several V.A. hospitals until he retired in 1957. At Princeton, he was a member of the Triangle Club and the championship lacrosse team of 1923. He is survived by his widow, Kel; his son Matthew; his daughter Deborah Trumbull; a sister; six grandchildren; and five greatgrandchildren. To them we extend our sympathy.
