Death Of Lloyd Burger

- oy u AA1 XVI
The news of the sudden death
OF Lloyd Douglas Burger came
like flash of tightening out of
clear sky. Only those very in
timately associated with him
were aware of his dangerous
condition. He was taken sick
with pneumonia on Wednesday.
August 2Sth and passed away
about ten O'Clock on the evening
of September 1st. The deceased
was born in Sidney. Nebraska,
Oct, 2Sth, 1898 and only lacked
about two months of being nine
teen years of age. When he was
seven years old his parents
moved here and have since re-
sided. The funeral services were
conducted first at the home in
the presence of the immediate
members OF the family at 1. 30 D. m
and at the Episcopal church at
o clock Wednesday 1t was very
largely attended by sympathizing
friends. The students of the
High School turned out to show
the high esteem in which he was
held by the student body. Sur
wing him are his paren,s, Mr..
and Mrs. S. L. Burger, a sister,
Miss Carrie and brother, Ronald
In the death of Lloyd, the family
has lost loyal son and a loving
and beloved brother. His numer-
Gus companions are thus deprived
otan associate whose genial ways
and accommodating nature will
be sorely missed. He seemed to be
the personificatiou of health and
robustness and his sudden removal
from our midst is beyond compre-
hension. He was a membe of
the class of 1913 and would have
graduated at the next commence
I ffTent. After this it was his pur-
pose to attend the University at
Boulder and enter upon a law
course. Everything in his intel
lectual and physical makeup indi-
dlcated very successful career
in life, a career of the most man.
ly nature. The passing out of life
of one in the prime Of youth
with all the attractions of success
before him and gifted with ability
push and circumspeclion, is a
cause for the saddest regret.
Those attending the funeral from
a distance were an aunt,
Mrs. Bassett and son Kenneth of
Sidney, Nebraska; Mrs. Carrie La
Munyon, two sons and daughter
of Denver; an uncle, Mr.. George
Burger, of Pierce, Colo; Mrs.

the part of all our citizens to lend

for our community to show ltseif

kindest remem brances. 1t IS an
opportunity to emphasize the en-
