DIED.

  In Tipton, Blair Co., on Monday morning, Feb. 10th, '68, at the 
residence of M. G. McCleland, Samuel Burket, aged seventy-seven years.  
He served in the war of 1812.  He took an active part in the Temperance 
movement in Antis Township, when temperance was publicly advocated.  He 
also was a very consistent member of the Lutheran church, declaring 
plainly that he was seeking a home beyond the Jordon of death, unto 
which we have no doubt he attained by faith in the Redeemer.

Tyrone Herald, Tyrone, Pa., February 21, 1868
