GEORGE BRIIX DIES
George Briix, formerly of White City, died at his home at Burlington Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. He had been in poor health the past two years, having suffered two light strokes during that time. A severe heart attack suffered on Thursday caused his death.

Two daughters and one son survive. They are Mrs. Luella Ek of Dwight, Mrs. Louise Zscheile of Burdick, and Robert Briix of Kansas City, Mo. He also leaves 10 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, a brother, Robert Briix of Oklahoma, and a sister, Mrs. Elsa Ninneman of Herington.

Briix was held at 9 o'clock Monday morning from the Mann Funeral home in Burlington [KS], and the body was then taken to White City, Kansas for services at 2:30 P.M. at the White City Methodist Church and the Rev.

George Frederick Briix, son of Robert and Hermina Briix, was born near Dresden, Germany on November 8, 1877. In 1884 at the age of 6, he came to the United States with his parents who settled on a farm near White City, Kansas, which was his home except for eight years in which he lived in Hope [KS] and Delavan [KS] and until he retired and moved to White City, Kansas in 1942.

Although he regularly attended church in his own community, he always kept his membership in the Lutheran Church, which he joined at an early age. In August, 1951, he moved from White City, Kansas to Burlington, Kansas where he made his home until the time of his death on November 7, 1953 at the age of 75 years, 11 months, and 29 days. He is survived by his three children: twin daughters, Louise and Luella, and a son, Robert; ten grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; one brother, Robert Briix of Vici, Oklahoma; one sister, Mrs. Elsie Ninneman of Herington, Kansas; and one cousin, Mrs. Mary Glynn of Enid, Oklahoma, who has always been very close to him.

GEORGE BRIIX DIES
George Briix, formerly of White City, died at his home at Burlington Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. He had been in poor health the past two years, having suffered two light strokes during that time. A severe heart attack suffered on Thursday caused his death.

Two daughters and one son survive. They are Mrs. Luella Ek of Dwight, Mrs. Louise Zscheile of Burdick, and Robert Briix of Kansas City, Mo. He also leaves 10 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, a brother, Robert Briix of Oklahoma, and a sister, Mrs. Elsa Ninneman of Herington.
