SIDDONS HARPER JR., 95, LONGTIME TEACHER: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
Philadelphia Inquirer, The (PA) - Friday, January 28, 2000
Deceased Name: SIDDONS HARPER JR., 95, LONGTIME TEACHER
Siddons Harper Jr., 95, who as an eighth-grade teacher shared his love for history with Haddonfield students for more than 40 years, died Tuesday at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, Camden. He had lived in Haddonfield for the last 67 years, and he was born and raised in Ardmore. Mr. Harper taught eighth-grade history, geography and civics at Haddonfield Middle School from 1931 until retiring in 1975. For many years, he also was the adviser for the school district's chapter of the Jerseymen - a student unit of the New Jersey Historical Society. As part of the chapter's activities, Mr. Harper arranged for students to visit historic sites and meet other students throughout the state. He organized many trips, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, to Washington Crossing. He also started the school safety patrol. "I do remember him to be challenging," said Bill Smith, director of curriculum and instruction for Haddonfield schools, who had Mr. Harper as a teacher in the mid-1950s. "He was a man who knew his subject and held you to high levels of accountability. I think all the things he did showed how much he loved being with kids and how much he loved history." Mr. Harper was a past president of the Haddonfield Education Association and the Camden County Education Association. In 1992, he was one of two educators honored with the Alfred E. Driscoll Service Award by the Haddonfield Civic Association. The award cited not only his dedication as a teacher but also his numerous other contributions to the community. Active in the Boy Scouts for 57 years, Mr. Harper was a scoutmaster, a camp staffer and a camp director. He was treasurer and committee member of Haddonfield Troop 65 as recently as two years ago. He received the Order of the Arrow, scouting's highest award for camping activities, and the Silver Beaver, its highest adult award. He also was honored by the Camden County freeholders in April for his years of service to scouting. In 1980, Mr. Harper was named volunteer of the year by the Camden County Department of Corrections Bureau of Parole, and in 1987 he was recognized by the Administrative Office of the New Jersey State Court System. In 1990, he received the Humanitarian Award for his volunteer work with Contact. After retiring, he volunteered with Literacy Volunteers of America, working several days a week teaching adults to read. An active member of Grace Episcopal Church in Haddonfield for half a century, he was Sunday school superintendent, a vestryman and a warden. He also cowrote an updated history of the parish for the church's 150th anniversary. Mr. Harper was active in the Camden County Historical Society. While he guided schoolchildren through the society's headquarters, Pomona Hall, his wife of 67 years, Annie Shank Harper, demonstrated colonial cooking there. Mr. Harper was a 1926 graduate of Haverford College. He was a graduate of Lower Merion High School. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters Ann W. Mauger, Jane H. Hughes and Mary L. Blake; six grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday at Grace Episcopal Church, 19 E. Kings Highway, Haddonfield. Memorial donations may be made to the Grace Episcopal Church Memorial Fund, 19 E. Kings Highway, Haddonfield, N.J. 08033, or to Boy Scouts of America Troop 65, 29 Warwick Rd., Haddonfield, N.J. 08033.
