Burk after a severe illness of two weeks passed away on Tuesday, July 17, 1894. He has not been well for years, but his illness did not assume a dangerous character until within the past few weeks. Mr. Burk was born in Adams county, Indiana, in the year 1819, making him near 75 years old. He lived there with his parents for several years but finally, when a mere lad, the family moved to Pike county, Illinois, where soon both his parents died, leaving him an orphan when yet a boy. He struggled manfully to get along, and grew up to manhood and conducted himself that willing hands were ever ready to help him. In the year 1850 he was married to Miss Margaret Smith, who has been the constant companion of his life, and who survives him. In the year 1870 they moved to Kansas and settled on a farm, which he owned at the time of his death and is located between here and Pittsburg. In the year 1881 the family moved to this city where they still reside. Mr. Burk was converted and joined the Methodist church in the year 1848 and has been a constant attendant at its services and has filled many offices and positions in that body. We have known Mr. Burk for years. He was a good man, a kind husband and father, and one whom his neighbors respected. Funeral services were held in the M.E. church by his pastor, Rev. A. Cullison. The choir rendered such favorite songs of the deceased as "Asleep in Jesus," "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," etc. His remains were followed to the Cherokee cemetery by a large procession of his neighbors and friends. He leaves a wife, one son and five daughters. He was the last of his father's family as all his brothers and sisters had preceded him, their deaths occurring at about his own age.
