Frank Newburn

The remains of Frank Newburn arrived on the Sunday evening train from Kansas City and were taken straight to the cemetery where Rev. C. E. Tingley conducted a short service before the body was laid in its last resting place. He was attending a dental college down there and he would soon have graduated when death stepped in to claim him. He suffered a paralytic stroke on Thursday evening and the next morning he died of a hemorrhage of the lungs. He leaves a wife and two children. They will go to Long Pine to live with Mrs. Newburn’s mother, Mrs. B. Gray, whose husband died but a few weeks ago. Frank was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Newburn, of this city. Burt being the only child now left them. Three months ago he took out a $500 policy in the W.O.W. lodge but the family will get but one-fourth of it as he was not a full year.
