WHO WAS J. OWEN GRUNDY

J. Owen Grundy Dead at 73; Official Jersey City Historian

J. Owen Grundy, the official historian of Jersey City and chairman of the city's Municipal Historic Districts Commission, died Monday at Christ Hospital in Jersey City. He was 73 years old and a native of Jersey City. Mr. Grundy wrote ''The History of Jersey,'' published in 1976, and about 50 monographs on historic subjects in Jersey City and the surrounding Hudson County.

He was among the founders of the Brownstone Revival Committee in Jersey City and the Preservation and Restoration Association of Jersey City and had served five terms as president of the Jersey City Museum Association.

From 1946 to 1959, Mr. Grundy was a reporter and associate editor of The Villager in Greenwich Village, where he was a leader in the preservation movement. He is survived by his wife, Nanette Little Grundy, and two stepdaughters, Sheila and Deborah Little, both of Jersey City.
