LITTLE ANECDO7E
ABOUT BURDETT7E
RECENT, DEATH OF FAMOUS
HUMoRlsT RECALLS TIME he
WROTE FIRST LECTURE.
TRIED OUT AT KEOKUK
Man Who Made Burlington Hawk-Eye
Famous Many Years Ago Com
posed Initial Work at Instance
of His Wife.

The death of Robert j. Burdette,
which occurred last week, recalls
among other things that his first lee
ture was written at the instance of
his wife and tried out at Keokuk. The
reason for his coming to Keokuk,
however, was disclosed by a writer
for Pasadena, Calf, paper The
clipping was sent to some friends in
keokuk and is given as follows:
Robert j. Burdette began cultivat-
ing good humor obscurely in Peoria,
ILL.,, forty years ago, when he spent
part of his days at desk on the
Peoria Transcript trying to think"
as he himself once related, "of pleas
ant things to tell the folks when 1
went home at night"
His audience of folks" then was
Carrie Garrett, the Peoria girl he had
married a short time before while she
lay supposedly on her death bed, but
who lived and, though an invalid for
life, became immortalized by her hus-
band as Her Little Serene Happi-
ness''
1t was she who encouraged him to
SOW his humor in wider fields. At her
bedside Burdette became prolific with
fun-making contributions to the Bur
lington Qowa) Hawk-Eye, and through
these he became famous the country
over as ''The Burlington Hawk-Eye
Man."
Invalid Wife Aided Him.
The little invalid wife encouraged
him, too, to try the lecture field.
''She kept me at it," said Burdette,
"and in due time we had lecture on
our hands-'"The Rise and Fall of the
Moustache' Burdette insisted on try
ing the first lecture in Keokuk, "for
Keokuk hated Burlington" and If he
succeeded there he would know it was
good. Even Keokuk applauded. The
whole United States later did the
same. He became sort OF itinerant
preacher.
At 60, ten years ago, Mr.. Burdette
was called to the permanent pastor
ate of the Temple Baptist church OF
Los Angeles, Calf.
Although Burdette's original home
was in Greensboro, Pa, where he was
born in 1874, the latter part OF his
life was spent in California. At Cliff
ton on-the-Sea and at Pasadena, he
had spacious homes with broad veran-
das His first wife had died after
fifteen years Of encouragement to him,
during which she had travelled all
over the country with him. In 1899
he married Mrs. Clara B. Baker OF
Pasadena.
