The other four children died in infancy. The mother is also living, but in very feeble health. In 1870 Mr. and Mrs. Burton moved to Pleasant Hill from Indiana and remained here until "Grasshopper Year", in 1874. Then the country being stripped bare by the plague of insects, they returned to their old home in Indiana and spent three years, thereupon once more returning to Pleasant Hill, residing here or in this vicinity until some 12 or 13 years ago when they located at Adrian, there to live until failing health induced a third return to Pleasant Hill some weeks ago where they could be in the kindly care of their children. Mr. Burton's illiness had been known to be hopeless for several weeks, but until very recently, at that, he was able to be up and around the house. He realized his condition, but faced the inevitable calmly and with resignation. His son Edward, says, "Father was a big-hearted man and always ready to do his part," and that, we should say, is highest praise.
