Sr. Benjamin Franklin Burr was born in Illinois, July 12, 1858, and after a lingering illness passed away at the Methodist Hospital in Mitchell on September 15, 1928, being past seventy years of age. Mr. Burr as a pioneer in SD, coming to Charles Mix County from Lone Tree, Iowa in 1883, He located on a farm in Lake George Township, which has since that time been his home. In March, 1883, he was married to Miss Susie Shephard who died in May, 1884, leaving an infant daughter whom he and Mrs. Burr's mother, Mrs. C. W. Shephard tenderly cared for during her infancy. This daughter is Mrs. Maude Wicks, now living in Hebron, Nebraska. On April 30, 1888, he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Colton, who with the five children born to them, survive him. The five children are Benjamin F. Burr, the youngest, living at Academy, SD: Mrs. Bonibel Rindels, of Bijou Hills, SD; Mrs. Winifred Glidden, of Mitchell, SD; Harvey C. Burr, of Bijou Hills, SD; and Leona L. Burr, who is at present is in Ahmedmagar; India. Leona having been a missionary since 1919, the greater part of her missionary work having been in Shaowu and Kienning, China. Mr. Burr was one of those men on whom his neighbors and friends could always depend. One of his friends not long ago said of him, "Ben Burr is one of those splendid characters of Western men, quiet, sober, industrious, always on the job and has hewn out for himself a home-farm, raised a good family that the community can be proud of and helped to hold Charles Mix county together. Until about two years ago he had been in good health and since then has borne his illness with patience and fortitude. In his passing townsmen will miss a loyal, useful citizen; his neighbors a kind friend, and his family a husband and father who devotedly loved his home best of all places. The sympathy of old neighbors and life long friends is extended to the family in their bereavement. The funeral was held at the home, his neighbors and friends from long distances coming to attend the services which were conducted by D. L. E. Camfield. Among the numbers sung by a male quartet, consisting of Ralph Burton, Fred Burton, Will Shepherd, and Silas Stowe, was a song which Mr. Burr especially loved, "When the Mists Have Rolled Away." The pall bearers were Hugh Parish, Hiram Dimick, Frank Burton, William Sly, Lyman Graves and George Boyden.
