Paul Fortuyn John Schumacher ’46

Paul Schumacher died Sept. 21, 1995, in Hillsborough, Calif., where he had lived for many years. Paul came to Princeton from Andover, served in the Army in the OSS, and returned to graduate in June 1946. At Princeton Paul majored in art and archaeology, was a member of Dial Lodge, and station manager of WPRU.

Paul married Marietta Caldwell in the University Chapel in 1946, and after several short stints with the National Park Service, went to Harvard for advanced studies in anthropology. Paul joined the Natl. Park Service in 1946, after which various workstudy tours took him to the Netherlands and Iran. In 1953 Paul completed an MA in anthropology at Penn.

In 1956 Paul moved to California and became chief of archaeological investigations for the western states under the aegis of the Natl. Park Service. He retired in 1972 to become director of the Treganza Anthropology Museum at California State Univ.

In 1993 Paul received the Mark Harrington Award for Conservation Archaeology, and in 1994 he and Marietta together received the Award of Merit from the Society for Historical Archaeology in Vancouver.

Paul leaves his wife Marietta, sons David '70, John, and Paul, daughter Shirin, and several grandchildren. To all of them the class sends its deep sympathy. Paul was one of our most loyal alumni and he will be sorely missed.
