William John Logan (August 2, 1891 - August 29, 1977) was an American football player and banker, as well as a politician who served as the 2nd Mayor of Flower Hill, New York.
Logan was raised in Brooklyn, New York,[1] and attended Princeton University. In college, Logan played football for the Princeton Tigers and was a consensus first-team selection on the 1912 College Football All-America Team.[2] He graduated from Princeton as part of the Class of 1913.[3] He served with the United States Military between 1916 and 1918.
Logan later became a banker who served as senior vice president of Central Hanover Bank & Trust, a director of the War Production Board during World War II and director-general of the Allied Joint Export Import Agency in post-war Germany.[4] [5] He received the U.S. Army's Exceptional Civilian Service Award for his post-war efforts in laying the foundation for export programs in Germany and Japan that "sharply reduced their requirements for American assistance and materially increased their capacities for self support."[6]
In July 1946, his wife, Marjorie Church Logan, was murdered in their Flower Hill estate, and the ensuing trial drew extensive coverage in the New York press.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
In his later years, Logan lived in Middleburg, Virginia.[4] [12] [13]
Logan served as the 2nd Mayor of Flower Hill, New York, succeeding Arthur G. Elvin; Logan held that office between 1931 and 1937.[14]
Logan died in Middleburg, Virginia on August 29, 1977, at the age of 86.[15]
