  BURRALL, JOSEPH T., was born in Devoran, Cornwall, England, on March 
21, 1849, and died in Scranton, Pa., on August 22, 1887, after a long

lady who became his wife, and who with four children survives him.
  He sought the kingdom of God when about eighteen years of age.  When

ministry was successful in the building up of the building up of the 
Church and the salvation of souls.
