Arizona Republican-Mar 29, 1904
J.L. BURROWS
 Arizona Republican Newspaper
March 29, 1904

John L. Burrows died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.  There 
had not been a time within the last five days when death was 
not imminent and there was no time when it could be said that 
he would live until morning.  Indeed last Thursday evening it
was reported on the street that he was dead and the report 
was not denied until late that night.  He was last on the 
street on Wednesday.

Mr. Burrows had suffered for a long time of an affection of 
the kidneys and it was for relief  from that ailment that he 
came to Arizona.  He first resided at Williams but he came 
to Phoenix several years ago.  He believed until last fall 
that he had been freed from his disease when it reoccurred.  
There was disclosed a tumor which in itself would necessarily 
been fatal.

He was known as "Jack" Burrows from one end of the territory 
to the other.  He was born in Philadelphia fifty eight years 
ago.  When quite young he went to Louisville Kentucky and 
became one of the most noted salesmen of the south, his 
territory extending over the middle states and the west.  
His health failed and he went to St. Louis where he engaged 
in business as a broker.  His still declining health 
compelled him to abandon that and he came to Arizona.  
About four years ago he established a brokerage business 
here. On coming to Phoenix he became connected with J.W. 
Owen post and held that of senior vice commander of the 
department of Arizona.  He served in the Third and Fifth 
regiments of the Pennsylvania Cavalry in the War of the 
Rebellion.

His funeral will take place at 4 o'clock this afternoon 
from the Christian Science Church and the interment will 
be in the G.A. R. Cemetery.  He leaves besides his wife, 
two children in Philadelphia, a daughter and a son by a 
former wife.  He also leaves a brother, William Burrows, 
a ship broker in Wall Street, New York.
