Burket, for fifty-five years a well known resident of Sioux county, passed away about 2 o'clock Saturday morning at his home in this city from heart trouble. Mr. Burket had not been in good health for several years and during the past year had failed perceptibly although he was rarely confined to his home for more than a few days at a time. The week of his death he was down town on several occasions although he was clearly very much indisposed. He retired as usual Friday night but during the night became very much distressed and decided to get up. He arose and dressed himself, called his wife and then went down stairs and sat in a chair. Seeing that he was in great pain Mrs. Burket summoned their son, G.F. Burket, who resides next door. A physician was summoned at once and after attempting to give some relief he departed in company with G.F. Burket for the drug store to procure some medicine. They had not been gone to exceed a minute when Mr. Burket suddenly expired in the chair where he sat. Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 Monday afternoon at the Ross Funeral Home with Rev. J. W. LaGrone, pastor of the Methodist church, in charge. Interment was made in Grace Hill cemetery. Members of the Modern Woodmen of America, of which organization Mr. Burket had long been a member, acted as pall bearers. A large number of citizens were present at the funeral to pay a final tribute of respect to the memory of their long time friend and neighbor. Clinton St. Clair Burket was born in Henry county, Indiana, June 8, 1851, so had passed his 75th year. He was a member of a family of twelve children, all but one of whom have preceded him in death. In 1854 the family moved by covered wagon to Iowa and settled on a farm near New Sharon, in Mahaska county, where they lived until 1871. His parents then moved to Sioux county and the following year Mr. Burket joined them in their new home. On Dec. 15, 1878, he was united in marriage with Orpha D. Stafford and they moved onto a farm south of Ireton where they lived until 1886 when they moved to Ireton where Mr. Burket engaged in the implement business in partnership with his brother. After quitting the implement business Mr. Burket established himself as an auctioneer and for a period of twenty-five years cried nearly every farm sale which was held in this section. He developed a wide acquaintance while engaged in this work and between sale seasons devoted his time to the sale and installation of lightning rods and there is scarcely a home or farm building in the surrounding country, equipped with lightning rods, which Mr. Burket did not install. In the spring of 1898 Mr. Burket moved his family from Ireton to Hawarden where he resided continuously until his death. Due to failing health he had not been actively engaged in business during the past ten years. Besides his widow he is survived by three sons, LeRoy K. Burket of Alton, Dr. John A. Burket of Los Angeles, Calif., and Guy F. Burket of Hawarden. He is also survived by one brother, William B. Burket of Spokane, Wash., and six grandchildren. Clint Burket came of the rugged stock of pioneers and honesty of purpose, true neighborliness and strict business integrity were inherent features of his character. He was a philosopher in a way, did his own thinking, possessed a real sense of humor, was outspoken in his convictions and had the courage always to stand by them, yet was ever tolerant of the opinions of others. He held the good will and esteem of hundreds of citizens of this community who extend sincere sympathy to the widow and sons in the loss of an ever considerate and affectionate husband and father.
