A frugal, prosperous bachelor of 50 who daily carried his lunch -a cold fried-egg sandwich and a Thermos of iced tea-to the bank in a wicker bas ket, he was a tireless dabbler in civil affairs. He led the movement for the summertime Empire State Music Festival that attracted thousands of culture seekers and dollars to Ellenville, was a district president in 1953 of the State Bankers Association, head usher of the Methodist Church. In the quiet little summer-resort village...
