    • Burrows Dead

      The grin reaper, death, has again visited our community, and verily he has no respect of persons.  This time he has chosen from among us a young man just entering the prime of life.

      This morning, January 27, 1899, Johnny Burrows died of pneumonia at the home of his mother on the corner of Grand and Railroad avenues.

      Johnnie was twenty-three years of age last Wednesday.  He has lived here since a child, attending the public school where, on account of his kindness and willingness to be of service to his schoolmates, he was a general favorite.  He will be missed by his many friends, as he was always full of life and ready to enter with zeal into any sport which might be on foot.  He had a very amiable disposition and was not often provoked.  As his schoolmates used to remark, Johnny was never heard to say a word of harm against anyone.

      He leaves in our midst a widowed mother, a sister, and four brothers to mourn his loss.

      The funeral will probably be held tomorrow afternoon, and the interment will be at Rio Vista, where his father is buried, but as yet arrangements are not completed.
