Lynn Evans Stuart ’50

Lynn Stuart died Dec. 14, 1997, at his home in Honeoye Falls, N.Y., after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 70.

Lynn prepared at John Burroughs School in St. Louis and spent 1945-46 in the Navy as an AETM 3/c. He majored in economics, was manager of the Triangle Club for 1949-50, and belonged to Tower.

Lynn began his career with Ralston Purina Co. in Kansas City, where he also was secretary-treasurer of the local Princeton Club. Back in St. Louis he became assistant treasurer of the company. Later, he became assistant treasurer of B. P. Goodrich in Akron and still later treasurer at Bausch and Lomb in Rochester, N.Y. This was followed by a short stint as v.p. of Security Trust Bank in Rochester; next Lynn started a farm-implement franchise in the same area.

He maintained a lifetime interest in scouting and was a member of the Otetiana Council, Boy Scouts of America. He was also a member of the Pennsylvania Advisory Board of Devereux and a trustee of Muslsingum College.

When Lynn's daughter Heidi was competing her horses nationally, he gave seed money that helped establish the Stuart Horse Trails in Victor, N.Y. The award-winning event continues to sponsor clinics.

Lynn is survived by his wife, Kyra, and children Sara, Barkley, and Heidi, to whom the class sends its deepest sympathy.
