John Chester Backus Pendleton[1] (September 26, 1871 – February 12, 1938) was an American football coach and stockbroker from Baltimore, Maryland. He was the head coach of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team in 1891[2] and from 1896 to 1897. He later became a member of the Baltimore Stock Exchange in 1897 and was employed thereafter as a stockbroker in that city.
Early years and Rutgers
A native of Baltimore, Maryland,[3] Pendleton attended Princeton University.[4]
Pendleton served as the head coach of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team in 1891 and from 1896 to 1897. In three years as the head coach, he compiled a record of 16–19.[5]
Business and military career
At the time of the 1900 United States Census, Pendleton was living in Baltimore and working as a stockbroker.[6]
In the Quindecennial Record of Princeton's Class of 1892, issued in 1907, Pendleton was described as being "the stockbroking member of the '92 syndicate that runs Baltimore."[7] Pendleton wrote: "[T]he long, thing John, whom you once knew, is no more, as I now way two hundred and seventeen pounds in my birthday clothes. In the year 1897 I became a member of the Baltimore Stock Exchange, in which business I am still engaged, being associated with the office of H. A. Harrick. In January of this year I was lifted from the depths of single misery by being married, at which event Alf. Riggs ably assisted as my best man."[7]
At the time of the 1910 United States Census, he was living with his wife and mother-in-law in Baltimore and was employed as a stockbroker.[8] He retired from stockbrokering in 1914. He served in the United States Army as a first lieutenant in the Procurement Division at Washington, D.C. during World War I from August 20, 1918, to January 13, 1919.[9] At the time of the 1920 and 1930 United States Censuses, Pendleton was living in Baltimore with his wife Mildred and listed no employment in the census records.[10][11]
Personal life
In December 1906, The Washington Post announced as "one of the most important engagements of the year," that Pendleton, described as "a Princeton graduate and well-known clubman," had become engaged to Mildred Morris, described as "one of the best known and most accomplished girls in Baltimore."[12] The couple was married in Baltimore in January 1907.[13]
Pendleton died in 1938 after a long illness.[14]
