Pew, Joseph N. (Joseph Newton),
The youngest son of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew (1848-1912), Joseph N., Jr. joined his brother J. Howard (1882-1971) and sisters Mary Ethel (1884-1979) and Mabel Pew Myrin (1889-1972) in starting the Pew Memorial Foundation. Meeting for the first time on April 3, 1948 the trustees capitalized the foundation with 880,000 shares of Sun Oil Company Stock priced at one dollar per share. They defined four areas of giving: science, charity, religion and education. By 1957 a rapid rise in grant requests led the trustees to dissolve the foundation and establish the Glenmede Trust Company to better administer the Pew family's charitable foundations.
