They settled in Mad River Township, Champaign Co, where the father and mother both passed away. Joseph grew to majority on his father's farm and nobly assisted in opening it out. His primary education was acquired in the common log-hut schools; but through his own exertions he has since greatly improved it. In that early day, the windows in schoolhouses were greased paper, pasted over openings to admit the light while today we have glass, clear as crystal. Joseph's boyhood days were often spent in company with the Indians, frequently seeing wild animals of different kinds but both Indians and animals have long since disappeared from these parts. About 1838, Joseph commenced teaching school, and in March two years later, he married Catherine Snapp. Afterward he settled on his farm in Johnson Township which he cultivated in connection with the duties of his office of Justice of the Peace; thus he continued until the erection of the Columbus, Piqua & Indiana Railroad, the construction of which he was greatly interested in. Shortly before the road was finished, he in company with his father-in-law John Snapp, erected the first warehouse at St Paris. They were the first grain buyers and shippers of that place. In connection with this, Joseph was appointed as ticket, freight and express agent. This position he filled several years, meanwhile turning some attention to law. Then he opened an office in St Paris, devoting his time totally to the profession a number of years. In the meantime, he purchased his present farm Sec 15, and for the purpose of raising his sons to farm life, located on it in 1873. Five years later he moved his office to his residence, and is still enjoying a reasonable patronage in the practice of law. St Paris -July 29, 1909 Joseph Buroker died yesterday, a pioneer of this county and one of the most highly respected citizens of the village.
