Obituary from St. Peter Tribune dated January 8, 1913

 "Death of Alderman Albert BURG"

     Friends in this city were sorry to hear last Friday morning of the 
death of Alderman Burg at Cobb hospital St. Paul.  His death was not 
entirely unexpected and his whole family was at his bedside when the end 
came.
     Mr. Burg was born in Germany in the province of Luxemburg in the year 
1844.  At the age of thirteen he came with his parents to this country 
settling in the township of Granby, this county.  He remained with his 
parents on the farm until he grew to manhood.  He obtained a position in 
the flour mill and followed this occupation for a number of years, later 
embarking in farming and in the business of buying stock.
     Mr. Burg has long been a man of influence in our municipal affairs 
and has been a member of our city council for the past nine years, during 
which time he has labored unceasingly for the welfare of our city.  For 
the past few years he has been in failing health and several weeks ago 
upon the advice of physicians he entered Cobb hospital for treatment and 
the end came at 2:35 last Friday morning.
     The city officials attended the funeral of their late colleague in a 
body and the doors of our business houses were closed during the hour of 
the funeral.
      The deceased was a quiet unassuming man, and a good neighbor.  He 
was devoted to his family, and was a great favorite among his 
grandchildren, of whom he was extremely fond.  His departure from the 
family circle will be sorely missed.
     He is survived by his wife and nine children: Mrs. O. A. Thro, of 
Mankato; Mrs. Jas. Craychee, of Fairmont; Mrs. W. A. Burke, of St. Paul; 
Mrs. Maud Seales, Mrs. Martin Klein; Mrs. J. G. Alexander, Ella, Eva, and 
son Clemence Albert.
     The funeral was held from the German Catholic church in this city 
Monday morning, Rev. J. M. Main officiating, and the remains were laid 
to rest in Calvary cemetery.  The pallbearers were M. A. Andersen, Ed. 
McGrath, Chas. Rost, (unreadable) Stark, Geo. T. Olsen, Chas. (unreadable),
Jos. Winthelaer and (unreadable)."
