William C. Cartinhour Jr. ’49

Body

Bill died March 29, 2021, in Rockville, Md. Born in Lookout Mountain, Tenn., he lived in the Washington area since the 1950s.

Bill graduated from the McCallie School in Tennessee and came to Princeton intent to major in economics. He joined Terrace Club but left campus junior year. He went to work at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., possibly as a medical technician. He left the institutes in 1956 and moved to Lovettsvlle, Va., our directory listing him as “Doctor Cartinhour.”

In 1994, Bill was reportedly living in Rockville, Md., and his occupation was given as a trustee of the Century and Delta Trust. He described himself as an investment counselor.

Bill had sporadic contact with Princeton and the Class of 1949. As a result we have little knowledge of survivors or relatives, but we are nevertheless grateful that he retained his attachment to our alma mater.
