Burk, two miles east of Cumby of consumption, and was buried there. Bro. Gibbins of Miller Grove conducted the services. He went to New Mexico a year ago and took up homestead and was probably exposed more than he should have been. He also worked in a morgue part of the time and handled consumptives a great deal. A severe case of lagrippe kept him down for some weeks and he finally reached home, broken in health. He was the oldest child of the family (Cumby Rustler, Fri., Jly. 31, 1908)
