KINGSLEY JEWELER SUCCUMBS TO DEATH
E. E. BURRIS, WATCHMAKER, DIES AS RESULT OF PULMONARY CONGESTION AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Kingsley News-Times: Our people were greatly shocked last Saturday afternoon when it became known that E. E. Burris, who for the past year had been conducting a jewelry and watch repair shop in Kingsley, had died.

On Wednesday evening of last week Mr. Burris phone to the store from his home, that he was not feeling well, and asked that Larson & Mahon look after his jewelry, etc., as he would not be down that evening.

He was no better Thursday morning and a doctor was called, who found him suffering from a slight congestion of the lungs, but it was not considered dangerous.

On Friday he became rapidly worse and on Saturday a doctor was called from LeMars, who, after examination informed the relatives and friends that there was little hope for the recovery of the patient.

Mr. Burris’ parents, who reside in Cherokee, were notified and arrived at the bedside of their son, and only a couple of hours before he passed away. Mrs. Burris, also, was at the bedside of her husband when the end came.

A short service was conducted at the home Sunday by Rev. J. F. Hutchinson, after which the remains were taken to Cherokee for interment.
