Death of Frank M. Burbank, Last Remaining Member Bearing Family Name – Funeral Today
Frank M. Burbank, the last remaining member of the once numerous Burbank family, died Monday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, at the home of his niece, Mrs. J. W. Griffin, No. 128 South Boyle avenue, after only a few hours' illness.
Death resulted from a stroke of apoplexy sustained some time during Sunday night. Mr. Burbank was in his usual robust health on Sunday, and dined with the Griffin family about 5 o'clock, when he was in the best of spirits.
He was discovered seriously ill in his room Monday morning by Mr. Griffin, and lived only a few hours afterward. As in the case of all other members of his family, his death was sudden and unexpected.
The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at No. 618 South Spring street, and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Thompson. The interment will be in the family plot at Rosedale Cemetery.
Frank M. Burbank was in his seventy-third year, and had enjoyed a rich and varied experience in the development of the great South and West. He was born in Portland, Me., and in his young manhood went to Wisconsin, and he engaged extensively in the handling of cranberries, being one of the first to put the enterprise on a commercial scale.
Later Mr. Burbank spent several years in Kentucky as a civil engineer, and for several years he held the position of purchasing agent for the commissary departments of army posts in the Southern States.
Twenty-six years ago Mr. Burbank came to Los Angeles. His brother, Dr. Burbank, who built the Burbank Theater on South Main street, had preceded him here several years; and together they purchased large tracts of land in the Providencia rancho, now known as the Burbank ranch.
Several years ago the townsite of Burbank was laid out on his land, and named in honor of the deceased.
Mr. Burbank was unmarried, and for twenty years he made his home with his niece, Mrs. J. W. Griffin, at No. 528 South Main street. Only a few months ago Mr. and Mrs. Griffin built a new home on Boyle avenue, and Mr. Burbank accompanied them there, where his death occurred.
He was a man of generous impulses, companionable and with hosts of friends, and was noted for his business integrity and uprightness. Of recent years he had disposed of most of his real estate holdings, and had retired from active business. He was the last remaining member of a large family bearing the Burbank name.
