Arthur M. Eastburn ’39

Art died Feb. 8, 2007, at his home in Delray Beach, Fla. The cause was congestive heart failure, which had been with him for the past 10 years.

From 1941 to 1946 he served as a captain in the Army's Ordnance Department at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. In 1946, shortly after he received a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, he started his practice in Doylestown, Pa. He was a partner in the firm of Eastburn & Gray until his retirement.

A director of Doylestown National Bank and Trust Co., Art was also a member of the American, Pennsylvania, and Bucks County Bar associations. As for recreation, Art told us of his elementary and incompetent golf and tennis, his swimming and snorkeling, and his volunteer work at the National Wildlife Refuge and in the emergency room at a local hospital.

Art's wife, Phyllis, died in 2004. He is survived by Jeffrey Eastburn, his son from his first marriage to the late Patricia Rhyne Eastburn; by Pamela Butler Jenkins, Phyllis' daughter; and three grandchildren. We offer them our sincere sympathy.
