New York, June 19 (AP) -- Robert Scott Lovett, chairman of the board of the Union Pacific Railroad, died Sunday at the Medical Center after a brief illness. His age lacked three days of 72 years. Lovett, administrator of the late Edward H. Harriman's estate and former head of the Harriman railroad interests, was removed from his home on Long Island last week for a surgical operation. Private funeral services will be held at Locust Valley, N. Y., on Tuesday. He was born in San Jacinto, Texas, the son of a farmer, and attended the Houston High School. He was admitted to the bar in 1882 after studying privately and became one of the leading railroad lawyers in the Lone Star State. He was counsel for the Houston East & West Texas Railroad from 1884 to 1889, for the Texas & Pacific from 1891 to 1903, later serving all of the Southern Pacific lines in Texas. He attracted Harriman's attention in 1904 and became general counsel for his system, moving to this city. He is survived by a son, Robert A. Lovett, of New York City. His wife, the former Lavinia Abercrombie, died in 1928.
