Lyons Herald, 9 Feb 1911

Burton Wright McVeigh was born in Orange county, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1832 and died 
at his home in Carson City Jan. 30, 1911, in his 79th year.  At four years of 
age he came with his parents to Michigan, locating at Westphalia, Clinton Co., 
where he grew to young manhood.  On Nov. 4, 1857, he was married to Miss Mary 
Vance of East Plains and they made their home on the old homestead, north of 
Pewamo, until they moved to Carson City 33 years ago.  To this union were born 
six children:  Mrs. Sarah J. Ludwick of Carson City, John McVeigh, of Brittian, 
S. Da., Geo. McVeigh, of East Plains, Byron McVeigh, of Aberdeen, S. Da., and 
Mrs. Percie Eldredge, of Carson City, all of whom are left to mourn the loss of 
a kind and loving father.  The funeral services were held at his late home at 
twelve o’clock noon on Thursday, Feb. 2, and the remains were laid to rest by 
the side of his wife in the family plot in East Plains cemetery, just a stones 
throw from the old homestead where the happiest years of their lives were 
passed.  The death of Mr. McVeigh marks the passing of another of the old 
pioneers of the Plains; men who made glorious the first years of Michigan’s 
history.
