IA tribute TO the departed published by reqeustl
In the passing beyond Of our friend
and townsman, Frank Olmstead Burton,
we loose a generous citizen, and a per-
son who will be most greatly missed by
those that knew him best.
He was born in Shelby, North Caro-
lima, March 22nd 1857, and the warm
southern nature, always so quick to re
spond to sorrow or injustice with SYM
pathy and assistance was the control ing
element in Franks entire life. Gener-
Gus and kind, he was eve ready to serve
his friends even at sever cost to him
self. For the last nine months he had
been a great sufferer from ~inflamatory
rheumatl sm, and on June 10th, '9S, was
taken suddenly and alarmingly i'll. lie
was taken to the home of his brother
in law, r. S Lewis, where he received
every care from loving and devoted re-
latiyss. At times his spasms of pain
were most sorrowful to witness, but he
never forgot, even in his agony the
efforts of his friends to relieve his suf-
ferings, and when the trembling lips
refused to form the word of thanks, the
eyes still gave the sign that every effort
was appreclatcd-and as the quiet OF
the grave began to gather about him,
we could not feel to bring him back to
the tortuous pain he had endured. He
closed his eyes to this world at noon on
June DIST, quietly and peacefully, sur
rounded by his wife, Bessie Sanders
Burton, whom he married in Custer on
Feb. 18th, 1888, an adopted son, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs. Sanders. He had
been a resident of this couaty for twenty
years and leaves many friends. He was
buried with the solemn and impressive
honors of a Masonic burial, having been
a member of the Custer lodge many
years.
''1hink that with him the strife is DER
Lies st Drmy, struggling battle endet
Hope that his soul has gained that shore
TO which, though weak, his footsteps tended /;
Breath the dear hope above his sod
And leave hint to his reSt-and Cod"
A FRIEND.
