Philip R. Carsen ’30

THE CLASS REGRETS to report the death of Philip R Carsen after a long illness. Phil died Mar. 1, 1993, in Houston, where he was born and where he lived most of his life, a true thirdgeneration Texan. He belonged to a number of patriotic societies, including the Sons of the American Revolution. Phil attended the Hill School, and at Princeton, he roomed with Walter Lane Smith and was a member of Cottage Club. After graduation, he did postgraduate studies at New York Univ. He then began his lifelong work in the investment field, first on Wall Street and then back home in Texas, where he added management of estates to his other business interests. During WWII, Phil served three years with the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps on active duty in the Pacific, receiving an honorable discharge in 1945. Phil was in bad health for a long time. After a major heart attack in 1979, he stoically endured a difficult illness with the loving help of his faithful wife, Lucy Matthews, whom he had married in 1921 in Holly Springs, Miss., and who nursed him at home. He is survived by her, by a son Philip Brown and by a niece. The Class extends its deep sympathy to all his kin.
