Clayton County Register, 14 Feb. 1957.

Funeral services for Mrs. John Burrack Sr., 64, were held at Emanuel Lutheran church in Strawberry Point on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 13, with the Rev. S. J. Meyer officiating. Burial was in the Strawberry Point cemetery.

Mrs. Burrack had apparently been in her usual good health on Sunday afternoon when her husband left about four o'clock to go to Chicago with a load of cattle. Later in the evening she complained of not feeling well and a doctor was called. He suggested that she should be taken to a Manchester hospital but she died in the ambulance before arriving there. Death was attributed to a heart attack.
