Lytle Graeff Chambcrs ’30
"LYTE" DIED unexpectedly at his home in Brooklyn Heights Apr. 14, 1990. A memorial service was held at the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn Apr. 29.
After Princeton Lyte wore many hats. He received an M.A. from Columbia and completed most of the requirements for a Ph.D. In the 1940s the Marines took him from a post as natl. youth administrator for orange Cty. to teach at the Marine Corps Inst. and later serve in the Pacific.
Lyte was active in Democratic politics in N.Y. and was a candidate for the legislature and City Council. In later years he was a supervisor in the N.Y.C. welfare dept. and also served in the N.Y.C. Retirement System, from which he retired in 1975.
Lyte married Jane Brainerd in 1943. They had no children and divorced in 1985. Jane died in 1986. Mrs. R. Ridgely Lytle W`13 survives, and Lyte had three cousins: Scott H. Lytle '40, Jean Lytle Reynolds, and I Ridgely Lytle III. To them we extend our sincere sympathy.
