Burkholder, J. Wesley

J. Wesley Burkholder, who was one of the most widely known men in the southern 
part of Somerset County, died January 21 at his home near Nicolay, aged 60 
years. He had been ill for a long period. The deceased took a deep interest in 
local politics, and for a long time was a power among the voters of his 
district. He was a unique character, but had many friends. Interment took place 
in the Jersey Cemetery on Sunday following his death when the Rev. W. L. LePage, 
pastor of the Confluence Methodist Church officiated.
