FRANCIS CAREY IS DEAD AT 60

Authority on Corporation Law Succumbs At Home Here

Francis J. Carey, an authority in Maryland on corporation and tax law, was found dead yesterday from a heart condition at his home and office, 34 West Twenty-fifth street.

With McKenny W. Egerton, Mr. Carey compiled a book on corporation law for the State of Maryland published in 1948 by the State Tax Commission.

For 30 years he had been legal advisor of the Potomac Edison Company, succeeding in that capacity his father, the late Francis King Carey who had been legal advisor for ten years.

Born in Baltimore 60 years ago, Francis J. Carey was one of the first pupils of the Gilman Country School for Boys which his mother was instrumental in founding. He was graduated from the Harvard College in 1910 and was graduated later from the University of Maryland Law School.

In 1911, associated with his father in the former law office of Carey, Piper and Hall, he went to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic with engineers and timber experts to investigate land in which Baltimore and New York financiers were interested.

Mr. Carey was a member of the Merchants Club, the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club, the Harvard Club of Maryland and a former member of the Maryland Club.

Surviving are two sons, Francis J. Carey, Jr., a student at the University of Pennsylvania and William Polk Carey, a student at Princeton University; two sisters Mrs. Carey Rosett, of New York City, and Mrs. Percy C. Maderia, Jr., of Philadelphia, and two brothers Andrew G. Carey, of New York City, and Reginald S. Carey of Sugar Loaf Col.
