The death of E.S. Burlingame, which occurred Wednesday November 13, 1907
at 8 o'clock a.m. caused a wave of universal calmess to spread over the
town that since its first appearance upon the map had been the scene of
his joys and his sorrows, his prosperity and his adversity, his sickness
and his health; had been his home in which he has always taken great
delight.

The hush created by the calm and peaceful departure of this good old man
was one of mingled sorrow and relief on account of the intense agony which
he was compelled to suffer during his conscious moments.  Death in
sorrowful only for the absence of his companionship, for the vacant place
in the home and community which it was his want and delight to occupy and
for the fact that his wife, children and friends have had to turn from the
face and form that was so strickingly familiar to all.  His death is a
relief to himself, his family and his friends in that his intense
suffering is at an end, he has paid the penalty for a human existence,
passed through the strange ordel of death into that Holy and Happy estate
to which he is justly entitled by our construcftion of the inspired word.
His long life is a direct evidence of his obedience to Divine instruction
and his consistant life a proclamation of his faith in Jehovah and a
right to claim the promises of a rich reward.

Mr. Burlingame was born in New York in 1928 and was at the time of his
death near eighty years of age.  He together with his family came to the
Panhandle in 1877; where he since has spent his life and where his son,
Milo and his daughter, Mrs. Travis of Montana grew to manhood and
womanhood.  His active career reveals one of the most remarkable instances
of human endurances that we have ever known.  Up until quite recently hed
has been able to get around more but as the end drew near, he had to give
up and death came as his last only relief.

Funeral services took place this morning from the Presbyterian Church of
which he was a faithful member and officer, conducted by the pastor Rev.
M.H. Frank and his former pastor and close friend Rev. N.J. Geyer,
Interment in the Canadian Cemetery.

Cheyenne Star, Cheyenne, OK 21-Nov-1907
