Obituary: From the Princeton Alumni Weekly: It is with deep regret that word has been received of the sudden and unexpected death of Wally Trapnell on June 9, 1943. After leaving college Wally worked in the oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas, dressing tools and roustabouting for various oil companies and contractors. He then worked in Venezuela for eighteen months as an engineer for the Lago Petroleum Col, but had to return at the end of that time because of ill health. He then became connected with the Elkhorn Coal Co. in Estill, Ky, and Fort Wayne Ind. For the past ten years, until enlistment in the Air Corps, he had been connected with Dowell Inc. at Midland Tex, and at Bakersfield, Calif, where he had charge of acidizing oil wells for various oil companies. In 1935 he married Georgina Crabbe of Toms River, N.J., who survives him. He enlisted in the Air Corps in 1942 and was stationed at the bombardier school in Midland, Tex. He was later transferred to the Radio School at Madison, Wis, and from there to Pueblo, Colo, where he was connected with the signal corps division of the Air Corps. He had been in Pueblo only a short time when he died suddenly of a duodenal hemorrhage. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his widow, his sister, Mrs. Evelyn McLean King, and his brothers, Nicholas Trapnell and Capt Frederick M Trapnell of the U.S. Navy.
