IN MEMORIAM Warner Austin Finney ’37, 94, of Riverside, died December 16 at Greenwich Hospital. A retired banker at the former Greenwich Trust Company, he was the eldest son of Judge W. Stanley Finney and Margaret Boswell Finney. Warner’s wife of 64 years, Elizabeth Ann Vance Finney, predeceased him in 2008, as did his only daughter, Judith Ann Finney Seweryn, in 1990. After graduation from Brunswick School, he attended Dartmouth College, and graduated from Columbia University in 1941. He served as a noncommissioned officer in the 104th Infantry Division in Europe during crucial battles of World War II. After the war, he and his bride established their home in Greenwich, and
He is survived by a loving granddaughter, Laura Seweryn Markovich, and two brothers: E. Dean Finney of St. Johnsbury, Vt., and Graham S. Finney of Philadelphia. A memorial service was held December 20 at the First Congregational Church in Old Greenwich. Edward H. Bragg, Jr. ’49, 81, a former member of Brunswick’s Board of Trustees (1975–1981) and father of three Brunswick alumni — Philip ’84, James ’87, and Winston ’92 — died, October 21, at his home in Greenwich with his beloved wife and family at his side. He had also served Brunswick as chair of his 60th Reunion Committee in 2009 and as Class Agent for the Class of 1949. “Ed was a truly remarkable man and a deeply dedicated alumnus,” Headmaster Thomas W. Philip said. “It was a real honor and pleasure to get to know Ed during my first years here — and his steady good counsel will be missed by so many. During the course of nearly 65 years, his and his family’s continuing interest in Brunswick has made a tremendous difference for our school.” Born in White Plains, N.Y., he was a graduate of Brunswick, Princeton University, the Officer Candidate School at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and Harvard Business School. He served for two years on the Coast Guard Search & Rescue duty in the Atlantic and one year as Commanding Officer of a shore station in the Pacific, French Frigate Shoals, the smallest inhabited island in the world. He was a partner and managing director of the investment counsel firm Scudder, Stevens & Clark, with 35 years in the role of managing individual and institutional portfolios. At Brunswick, three courts in the Stephens Squash Center were named in honor of members of the Bragg family in 2001.
