Married Roxey Jane Carter, Pella, Boulder County, Colorado, November 14, 1867. Children: Henrietta; Lettie; Frank Henry; James Arthur; Mary Molly; Elizabeth Pearl; Annie Jane; William Jay; and Robert Clay Burch.
DIED - Another one of the old settlers has passed away. This time it was William W. Burch who died last Sunday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. J. [Etta] Broughton. The cause of his death was a cancerous growth in the throat. He was aged 66 years on the day he died, July 31, 1910. He was born in Van Buren County, Iowa. In the year 1862 he, with others, freighted with ox teams across the plains to the Rocky Mountains. Having spent some time in this state, he then returned to his old home in Iowa and in 1864, in company with W. P. Johnson, he once more crossed the plains, this time on foot. He spent some time mining and freighting. On Nov. 14, 1867 he was married to Roxie Jane Carter and located on a farm here, where he resided up to a few years ago when he invested in a large tract of land near Nunn, Colo., where he spent most of his time, although he still owned property in Hygiene. His wife preceded him in death Feb. 2, 1908. He was the father of nine children, seven of which are living. Four sons and three daughters: Mrs. C. J. [Henrietta] Broughton; Mrs. J. F. [Mary Mollie] Kelly; and F. H. Burch, of Hygiene; Mrs. E. A. [Elizabeth Pearl] Teter and Robert Burch of Nunn; James Burch of Boulder; J. W. Burch of Arborville, Nebraska. He leaves one sister and brother, H. H. Burch of Longmont and Mrs. Martha [Burch] Hegwood of Knoxville, Iowa. They were all present at the funeral which was conducted by the Rev. O.E. Baker in the M.E. Church on Tuesday at 2 p.m.
Mr. Burch had been a member of Longmont lodge No. 29, I.O.O.F. for a number of years. The lodge at this place attended the funeral in a body and took charge of the services at the grave. He had a large circle of friends and was well known and respected by everybody who knew him, which was shown by the large number that attended the funeral.
