Dora Burroughs (1868-December 14, 1878)
Arthur Burroughs (June 23, 1877 - December 23, 1878)

December 18, 1878 Maple Valley Era, Ida Grove, Iowa
The terrible diphtheria found two more victims in Silver Creek, last week. A girl of about 15 years old of Mr. Shephards, and another, making the fourth child of Jas. Burroughs. Mr. Burroughs children were supposed to be out of danger, but on Saturday of last week their little girl Dora, age ten years, was taken on December 14th. This leaves Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs but with a babe, from a family of five children. If the sympathy and friends is of any value in their bereavement, they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have this in the fullest measure.

December 25, 1878 Maple Valley Era, Ida Grove, Iowa
Died on the 23rd of December, Arthur, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Burroughs, aged one year and six months.
