Taliaferro Anderson ’41

NEITHER PRINCETON nor the Class had known the whereabouts of Taliaferro Anderson for many years. Knowing that he had been in the Woodberry Forest school's Class of 1936, a letter was written which brought back the sad news that he had died May 27, 1978.

"Andy" was born May 20, 1919, in Galveston, Tex. Following Woodberry Forest, he spent a year at Lawrenceville, where he was active in football, wrestling, and track. At Princeton he was a member of Key and Seal, played 150lb. football, majored in politics, and was commissioned in the R.O.T.C.

Immediately following graduation he went on active duty as a second lieutenant assigned to the 43rd Infantry Division. Serving in the Pacific theater for 37 months, he earned a Silver Star and rose to the rank of captain. Andy's life as a civilian was not resumed until Mar. 1950 when he took up study of the law in Washington, D.C. During the 1960s he lived in Los Angeles.

We extend belated sympathy to his sister, Caroline.
