Du Memnrian JOHN JAY FRENCH 1930-1949 John Jay French was born December 17, 1930, in Evans City, Pennsylvania. When he was five years old his parents died and he was adopted by James and Grace Sutton. He attended Evans City High School, rated second in his class scholastically and participated in three sports, the school paper, the school play and the debating club. John entered the freshman class at The King’s College in the fall of 1948 as a chemistry major, and immediately proved himself to be a valuable addition to the student body, be- ing active in sports and the ‘‘Crusaders’’. He climaxed the year’s work by dividing honors for the Freshman Scholarship. John was saved in 1943 and consecrated his life to the Lord a month before his death. His death came suddenly on the morning of August 16, 1949, in the form of a coronary heart attack. He went to be with the Lord before the doctor arrived. His cheerfulness and industry will continue in our memories as an outstanding testimony ‘for the Lord. His memory will always be an inspiration to us! PAGE 15
