OXFORD JUNCTION--Funeral service for Donald LeRoy Buresh, 19-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Buresh, was held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. from the Hayden Funeral home.

The infant died Friday evening of congenital heart disease at Wyoming where his parents had been attending the Wyoming Horse show. He had been sleeping in the family car and died in his sleep. His parents were with him at the time and took him immediately to a Wyoming physician but treatment was futile.

Rev. W. A. Wolgemuth, pastor of the English Lutheran church, was in charge of the funeral service and Mrs. Wolgemuth sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "Jewels" and "God Will Take Care of You." Casketbearers were four small boys, Arnold Zaruba, Richard Fritz, John Brady and Wayne Benhart. Burial was in Mayflower cemetery.

The baby was born three miles south of Oxford Junction at the home of his parents on Feb. 22, 1940. He is survived by his parents, two small sisters and the maternal grandmother, Mrs. Nettie Jones, Wyoming.
