Alban C. Burton, aged 68 years, well-known colored resident of this place, died 
yesterday after a long illness with a complication of diseases.  He had been an 
inmate of the Soldier’s Home at Hampton, Va., but recently left that 
institution when he was placed upon the pension roll at the $1 per day rate, 
returning to his home here, where he had lived for fifty years.  He leaves 
three sons: William T., Clifford A., and J. Fred Burton.  Burton served in the 
Civil War in Company D, Twenty-sixth Colored Troopers, and  had a fine record, 
being mustered out as a First Sergeant.  Since the war he had followed 
huckstering as an occupation in this place until incapacitated by illness and 
was quite successful.
