Harry Rushworth Burton ’50

Harry died Jan. 13, 1997, at Brick Hospital in New Jersey. He was 68.

A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Harry prepared at South River H.S., where he played football, basketball, baseball, and golf--the sport at which he excelled. In 1945 he was the state junior golf champion. A psychology major at Princeton, Harry was captain of the golf team for two years and was on the executive committee of the varsity club.

After a three-year stint in the Navy during the Korean conflict, he obtained an LLB from Rutgers Law School and joined his family's law firm, Burton, Seidman & Burton, where he became engaged in the general practice of law. Since that time he was a member of various partnerships. Harry was a former president of the Middlesex Bar Assn. and a former director of Midlantic Bank and the Central Jersey Savings and Loan Assn.

Our deepest sympathies go to his wife of 45 years, Lydia; a son, Harry Jr.; two daughters, Nancy Snyder and Phyllis Tozzi; and six grandchildren.
