A half‐century later, Mr. Lexow served on the committee for Greater New York's golden anniversary. The records of the Lexow Committee were presented by Mr. Lexow to the Museum of the City of New York.
He was a graduate of Princeton University, class of 1904, and the New York Law School. He established a law firm in Suffern under the name of Lexow & Jenkins. Mr. Lexow remained active as a lawyer until 1970.
