                          ERNEST BURSON, AGE 26 YEARS, DIED AT STORMANT HOSPITAL, TOPEKA

Ernest Burson, age 26 years, died at Stormant hospital, Topeka, on Sunday night, of pneumonia.
 He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. V. Burson of Howard, who survive him.  He also leaves a wife and a three year old daughter to mourn his early death.  He leaves the following brothers and sisters Will and Pearl Burson of Elk Falls; Mrs. W. L. Flickinger of Topeka; Mrs. Will Keltner of Auburn, Kansas, and Ralph and Leslie Burson of Howard, all of whom were present at the funeral.
 Ernest was a kind and indulgent husband and father, always a dutiful son and a loving brother.  His friends were legion and to know him was to be his friend.
 His death leaves a vacant chair at the family gathering, and a kindly, yet a sad remembrance, in the minds of his wide acquaintance.
