Samuel Stewart Mitchell Jr. ’41

SAM MITCHELL died Oct. 13, 1992, in Buffalo General Hospital, following a long illness. He had lived in Buffalo all his life. In addition to his widow, Martha Worrall, he is survived by two sons, Samuel S. III and John A.; a daughter, Margaret; five grandchildren; and a sister, Diana Sanford.

In the great war of '41s epoch, Sam was a "Flying Fortress" pilot who somehow lived through 35 bombing missions over Germany. He had left the Class before graduation to join up. When peace came, he worked for the J. W. Clement printing firm in Buffalo. It later became Arcata Graphics, where Sam was marketing director when he retired in 1982.

Through his own choice, Sam didn't provide the Class with data on his undergraduate activities. But it is a matter of subsequent record that he was a loyal dues payer and gave to Princeton over many years. In his home city he was a longtime supporter of the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Studio Arena, and he maintained active memberships in the Pundit Literary and Saturn clubs there.

To Martha and his survivors we extend deep sympathy.
