After her marriage she moved to the place known as the Burr farm, two miles northwest of Lone Tree, where she resided for thirty years. She moved to Lone Tree in 1913.
Mrs. Burr was the mother of three children, all of whom, with their father , survive, they being as follows: Charles(should be Glenn) and Clarence, who live on farms near Downey, and Glen (should be Charles), who lives on the home place near Lone Tree. Nine grandchildren, as well as two brothers and two sisters also remain. The brothers and sisters are: Wm. Matthiesen and Julia Wiese, Arnolds Park, Iowa: Gus Matthiesen, Lake Park, Iowa; Mrs. Emma Carl, Lone Tree.

Before leaving Germany Mrs. Burr was confirmed in the German Lutheran church. On Oct. 7, 1906, she became affiliated with the Reformed church in Lone Tyree. She was a faithful and devout Christian and always devoted much attention to work in her church and Sunday school. Mrs. Burr was also a member and officer of the Women’s Relief Corps.
Mrs. Burr was a kind and loving wife and mother, as well as a true and faithful friend and neighbor. During the months which she was ill she bore her suffering with patience. Her many excellent qualities, so often revealed in her association with relatives, friends and neighbors, will long be remembered by the large circle of acquaintances who mourn her death.
