The Pittsburgh Press Wed, Feb 01, 1939
John Thomas Findley, one of the founders of the Boys Industrial Home at Oakdale,
and for many years its president, died yesterday in his home, 121 Centennial
Ave, Sewickley. Mr. Findley, born at Prospect, April 4, 1852, was the son of
William and Elizabeth Cunningham Findley. The family moved to New Wilmington
where his father became professor of Latin in Westminster College. There Mr.
Findley was a member of the class of 1873. He came of an old Western
Pennsylvania family, being a great grandson of William Findley, a member of the
Continental and the United States Congress. Having been interested in religious
and charitable affairs, Mr. Findley, at the end of his college course, entered
the services of the United Presbyterian Board of Publications, and for many
years was business manager of the board. Its present building on Ninth St. was
built under his direction. Mr. Findley also was active, notably as teacher of
the Men's Bible Class, in the United Presbyterian Church of Sewickley, and was a
member of the Query Club. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Kate Ella Oudry
Findley, daughter of Mrs. Catherine A. Oudry, of Ridge Ave., North St. and a
son, Paul B. Findley, who now resides in New York City and is an executive of
the Bell Telephone laboratories there. Funeral services will be held at his home
at 1:30 p. m. tomorrow. Burial will take place at New Wilmington, Pa.
