William Emerson Schroeder ’34

Bill Schroeder, retired head of Schroeder Bros., manufacturers of mining and hydraulic equipment in McKees Rocks, Pa., died last May after a short bout with cancer. He was at Princeton for only one year but kept up correspondence with classmates until nearly the end, especially with Flop Follansbee and Bill Rea, with whom he grew up in the Pittsburgh area.

Bill and his wife of 63 years, "Middie," the former Margaretta Oliver, lived year-round in Amelia Island, Fla., for the past several years. Not long ago he wrote a classmate, "Play golf twice a week. Can shoot my age - nine holes, 85."

Surviving, besides Middie, are two sons, William E. Jr. and Augustus O., two daughters, Margaretta and Mary, two brothers, Frank C. '32 and A. Reed Schroeder, seven grandchildren, and one great-grand. To them all we offer our sincere sympathies.
