Thomas O. [sic] Burks, age 86, who was employed here for a number of years as a janitor at Indiana University, died Sunday at 5:00 a. m. at the Odd Fellows home in Greensburg, Indiana from a heart attack. Mr. Burks had suffered several heart attacks during previous months, but had always rallied. When he was first stricken, his condition was not believed to be serious and his family was not notified until his sudden death.
Survivors include two sons, Ollie E. Burks, 715 East Fourth Street; and Frank, 620 South Lincoln; seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. His wife, Sarah, passed away in 1913 [sic].

He was a member of the South Union church and the Odd Fellow's lodge.
Funeral services will be held at two o'clock Tuesday at the Clear Creek church with Rev. Frederick Sears officiating. Interment will be in the adjoining cemetery. Music will be furnished by the church. Pall bearers will be members of the Odd Fellows lodge.
The remains will be left at the Day funeral home until the hour of the service.
