Henry H. Burd, a well known Winterset citizen who for the past 30 years had been caretaker for the Winterset cemetery, died Tuesday night. He was 77 years of age.

He is survived by his wife; four children, Cap Burd of Minnesota, Mrs. Bessie Miles of Winterset, Mrs. Daisy Karous of Des Moines, and Clair Burd of Winterset; and one sister, Mrs. May B. Bacon of Des Moines.
