   DR. WILLIAM H. BURKE, Scotland, was born in Martinsville, Morgan County,
Ind., January 4, 1851. By the removal of his parents, William H. and Martha
(Dayhuff) Burke, to Putnam County, he was here largely raised. William H. Burke,
Sr., was an attorney and practiced his profession largely in Greene and Putnam
Counties, until his death at Bloomfield. Dr. Burke began the practice of
medicine at the age of twenty-two years, with Dr. A. J. Dunnington, of
Cloverdale, and March 4, 1881, graduated from the Fort Wayne College of
Medicine. In 1878, he became a resident of Greene County, and is now located at
Scotland, where he has acquired a lucrative practice and where he and family are
universally respected. Aside from his profession, Dr. Burke received but
ordinary schooling advantages. As was his father, he is a Republican in
politics. To his marriage with Miss Flora A., daughter of Dr. H. G. and Rhoda
Dyer, of Cloverdale, one child has been born—Elfleda,. born October 1, 1875, in
Owen County.
