Notes for Henry Smith (Spouse 1)
H. S. BURKE died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Ramsey, Sioux Falls, S. D., a few days since, at the ripe age 82.

Mr. Burke was well known to many of our citizens as he for much of the time for several years made his home with his daughters, Mrs. Elser and Mrs. Robins.

Mr. Burke was for many years a member of the M. E. church and a man of the highest integrity. The body was taken to Harlan, Iowa, for burial.

The bereaved family have the sympathy of many friends.

I will tell their story. I will remember them for I am the result of the very love, struggle, sacrifice and journey of thousands.”
