FUNERALOF
THONASBURIRl

The funeral services of our OLD re-
spocted townsman, Thomas Burr, took
place Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o.
clock at the Congregational church
Rev, R J. Locke, pastor of the church
officiating. A large number of the
members of the G. A. R. attended the
services in 2 hoay. His remains were
laiG al rest in Forest Hill cemetery.
Thomas Burr was born Sept Il, 1881
at Jamestown, New York. He came
to Dane county, Wis, in the spring
Of 1850, From there he went to Mer-
ill, Wis, and remained there until
the fall Of 1855, when he came to
Grand Rapids and worked at Seneca
Corners until 1861, when he moved to
Grand Rapids and has resided here ev-
er since, except the short while he was
at the Soldiers Home in Milwaukee.
Mr.. Burr comes from that sturdy
stock that has always been evident in
the frontier conditions Of our country
He was a good man, a good husband
and father, and a man who was highly
in the community in which
he lived the most of his lifetime. His
daughter Miss Celia Burr Of nilwau-
kee, a teacher Ill the public schools
there and mis- son Elmer of Detroit,
Mich, accompanied the remains to this
city and attended the funeral His
wife preceded hin in death only
few weeks ago. A good man has
gone TO his reward.

granted a full pardon to Mark n. Fen
ner, who was sentenced to Waupun
penitentiary in 1888, on a charge of
murder in the first degree for the cold
blooded murder of Mr.. Hessler, ali
old man near Sherry's mill in Wood
county for the price Of a team of
mules, The people of Grand Rapids
and Wood county who were living
here at that time will recall the par
ticulars Of this murder as it was pre-
meditated, cold blooded and for the
price Of a team of mules which he
sold for $500. We hope that Mr. Fer
ner is entitled to this consideration
at the hands of the Governor, but those
who knew the facts and particulars
connected with this killing can hardly
overlook the Governors full pardon
of this man.
