Burt Zelotes Kasson (August 23, 1877 in Gloversville, Fulton County, New York – September 26, 1943 in Gloversville, Fulton Co., NY) was an American engineer and politician from New York.

Life

[edit]

He was the son of Harvey Zelotes Kasson and Ella (Dean) Kasson. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1897. He attended Harvard College, but left without degree during his junior year, and then became a mining engineer and surveyor.

On November 22, 1911, he married Grace Adams Martin (born 1882), and they had several children, among them John Martin Kasson (1919–2008) who was Clerk of Fulton County.

Kasson was a member of the Board of Supervisors of Fulton County from 1912 to 1915; and was Chairman of the Board for two years. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Fulton and Hamilton Co.) in 1916, 1917 and 1918; and a member of the New York State Senate (35th D.) in 1919 and 1920.

Later he was Fulton County Superintendent of Highways.
