Phillip B. Newman ’26

Phil Newman, a well-known resident of Louisville, Ky., died June 24, 1995, at his home after a short illness.

Phil came to Princeton from Lawrenceville and will be remembered as one of the mainstays of the water polo team during our four years of college. He was a member of Campus Club. After graduation Phil went to work with Brown-Forman Distillers Corp. and at retirement was secretary of the company. Phil was active in the Louisville Community Chest, the Louisville Ballet, and community affairs. Frances Powell and Phil were married in 1929 and enjoyed a busy life in which their two children, Frances and Phillip III, had a prominent part, along with time given to tennis, sailing, and fishing. Frances Powell died in 1987.

Phil is survived by his second wife, Emily, whom he married in 1988; his daughter and son; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren, to all of whom we extend our sympathy.
