D. Burroughs Funeral Monday

The funeral of David Burroughs, 85, was held Monday morning from Lycurgus Catholic church, with the Rev. Father Robert Moran officiating. Rites were not held at St. Patrick's because of the forty hours' devotion in progress at that time. Burial was at Mt. Olivet, Waukon, with Bakke and Hanson funeral service in charge. Pallbearers were Carl Burroughs, William Burroughs, Gale Burroughs, Dale Radloff, Edward Helgeson and Norbert Helgeson.

Mr. Burroughs died at his Waukon home early Friday morning following a two weeks' illness caused by the infirmities of age.

He had lived in the Dorchester area until four years ago when he and his wife moved to Waukon. He and Mary Moller, who remains, were married at Dorchester Nov. 5, 1901.
