ROBERT J. PILGRAM

  The Rev. Robert J. Pilgram, 70, retired Lancaster minister and former alumni 
secretary of Franklin and Marshall College, died June 3 at the Mt. Gretna Inn 
where he was vacationing.
  Graduated from F & M in 1898 and, later, from the Easton Theological Seminary 
of the Reformed Church, he was ordained as a minister in 1901.
  Dr. Pilgram served a Pittsburgh pastorate until 1912 when he was transferred 
to a Lancaster church.  Twelve years later he resigned to accept the alumni 
secretaryship, a position he held until his retirement in 1945.  He was widely 
known throughout the state by the alumni of Franklin and Marshall College.
  For the past few years, he was supply pastor for the Zion Evangelical and 
Reformed Church at Marietta, Pa.
