Virginian-Pilot  August 23, 1949
John Prince McLaughlin, secretary of the Virginia ABC Board and one-time 
assistant to the Norfolk City Manager, died suddenly yesterday at his home in 
Richmond.
A native of Norfolk, he was employed by the Henry Walke Company until I. Walke 
Truxton, the head of the company, became City Manager in 1927. At that time, he 
followed Truxton to City Hall and served as his assistant until April 12,1934.
While in the City Manager’s office, McLaughlin’s duties consisted mainly of 
research work in connection with city finances and budgetary matters.
He resigned in 1934 to become secretary of the newly-created State ABC Board, on 
the recommendation of the first chairman, Maj. S. Heth Tyler.

Services praised

Chairman John Hardy and Board Members Hunter Miller and R. McC. Bullington, in 
Richmond yesterday, praised McLaughlin’s service to the agency and said his 
death “is a regal loss to the Virginia ABC Board, to the board members 
personally, to the State government and to alcoholic beverage control in the 
State of Virginia.”
A son of the late Richard F. and Mrs. Mary Ann Prince McLaughlin, he studied 
journalism at Columbia University.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Louise Frazier McLaughlin; three sisters, Sister 
Mary Bernard, of Wilmington, N.C., Mrs. J. H. Gregory, of Norfolk, and Mrs. Guy 
Webb, of Washington, and one brother, R. F. McLaughlin, Jr., of New York.
Burial will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Norfolk, today at 3 p.m.
