Payette Independent, Payette, Idaho, January 1, 1925
E. W. Burkes Dies

E. W. Burks, who in company with Mrs. Burks has been spending the winter with 
his daughter, Mrs. M. L. Lockhart, died at the Lockhart home Saturday afternoon 
after a brief illness.
Mr. Berks was born at Danville, Indiana, August 14th, 1841, and died December 
27, 1924, at the ripe old age of 83 years, 4 months and 13 days. At the age of 
twenty he enlisted in company A. 3rd Iowa Infantry and served from August 1861 
to February 1865, being a rebel prisoner in Texas for nine months of that time. 
He was married December 27, 1866, to Mary M. Quigley, and passed away on the 
58th anniversary of their wedding. He is survived by his wife and seven 
children, three of the children having preceeded him in death. He united with 
the Christian Church when about 18 years of age, and remained a faithful member 
to the time of his death.
Owing to the absence of Rev. Mitchell, pastor of the Christian church, funeral 
services were held at the Baptist church, Monday at 2 p.m., and were conducted 
by Rev. Dean, and interment took place at Riverside cemetery. A Christian 
gentleman, a faithful companion and a good citizen, one who served his country 
well, has gone to his reward.
