ENGELKING, HESS

ENGELKING--Hess, died on Thursday, June 12 in Stamford, CT, two weeks before her 98th birthday. Hess Pringle Houghton Engelking was born on June 27, 1910 in New York, NY. She was the daughter of William Morris Houghton and Mary Motte (Hess) Pringle. The family lived in Plainfield, NJ where Hess attended The Hartridge School. She graduated from Radcliffe College and pursued graduate studies there in Anthropology. In the midst of the Depression, she moved to New York City where she worked at the New York Herald Tribune. There she met the soon-to-be legendary newspaperman, L. L. Engelking and they were married in 1939. The Engelkings, with three children, lived in Forest Hills, Queens and then Plainfield, NJ. In the 1950s, Hess returned to graduate school, earning a Masters in Library Science from Rutgers University. She was a Librarian at the Plainfield and Madison, NJ Libraries for many years. In 1977, the Engelkings retired to Cooperstown where L. L. Engelking died in 1980. Hess worked at the Cooperstown Library, and later volunteered there and at the Bassett Hospital and the New York Historical Association. She was a redoubtable Hiker on the back roads and trails of Cooperstown and all over Europe. In her 80s, she learned how to cross country ski and climbed Mt. Algonquin in the Adirondacks. She was always the consummate reference Librarian, never giving up on an explanation until she had the appropriate source material, and she possessed of an Anthropologists immense insight into human behavior. She was known for her grit and tenacity and realistic approach to life. An admirer said, ''If Hess dies, that means we all have to die.'' She is saluted, loved and missed by her children Elizabeth Mueller, Mary Motte Hall and Peter Engelking; their spouses David Barnes and Connie Engelking; her brother William Houghton and her niece Charlotte Houghton Friedman; her eight grandchildren William Teitler, Joseph Teitler, Sarah Teitler, John Teitler, Timothy Hall, Andrew Hall, Emily Engelking and Joshua Engelking; and by her eight greatgrandchildren. Contributions in her memory would be welcome at the Friends of the Cooperstown Library and the Friends of Bassett Hospital, all in Cooperstown, NY; the Wardlaw-Hartridge School in Edison, NJ; Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.9,10
