Samuel Copp McCluney Jr. ’32

Body

SAM MCCLUNEY, a longtime resident of St. Louis, died in Bryn Mawr, Penn. on July 16, 1991. He came to us from St. Louis Country Day School, roomed with the late Bert Blanke at Princeton, and was a member of Charter Club. Before his retirement he had been president of McCluney & Co., an investment firm in St. Louis.

Sam had a strong interest in history and genealogy, reflected in a number of organizations of which he was a member: the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania, Sons of the Revolution, Society of Colonial Wars, the Baronial Order of the Magna Carta, and the Charlemagne Society. He was also a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd (Episcopalian) in Rosemont, Penn., where his funeral service was conducted.

Sam was widowed twice. He had retired to Florida, but on the death of his first wife, Dorothy Jane Leggett, in 1970, he moved to Chestnut Hill, Penn. where he married his second wife, Ann Graham. Following her death, he moved to Bryn Mawr in 1983. He is survived by three children of his first marriagea daughter, Mary Ann McCluney, and two sons, George S. McCluncy and Christopher B. McCluney and also by a sister, Louise M. Hamilton. To them all we send our sincere condolences.
