In the death of Edward M. Buracker, in Baltimore, on Tuesday night, Luray lost a son who reflected honor on the place of his birth.
He was born in the old homestead on the corner of Main and Hawksbill street 65 years ago. His early life was spent here, though he had been living in Baltimore for a long time.
For many years he had been associated with the well known firm of Rouse, Hempstone & Co. He is survived by a widow and four children - Edward, a civil engineer who is in the U.S. Navy; Walter, Miss Ruth Buracker, and Mrs. William Nicholson, the latter living in Baltimore. Only two sisters- Mrs. Lena Weaver, of Luray, and Mrs. Flora Buracker, of Baltimore, survive him. The funeral was conducted from his late home in Baltimore on Friday of this week.
Many facts of interest regarding Mr. Buracker are given in the following article from yesterday's Baltimore Sun:
"Edward M. Buracker, vice-president of Rouse, Hempstone & Co. Inc., died yesterday morning at his home 2800 North Calvert street, from apoplexy after a prolonged illness.
"Mr. Buracker was born September 13, 1853, at Luray, Page County, Va., and was the son of Samuel and Caroline Buracker.

Fishing and duck shooting being his favorite diversions, he was a member of the Baltimore Country Club, the Baltimore Whist Club and the Pond Point Duck Club. He was also a member of Beauseant Commandery, Knights Templar and of Boumi Temple, Mystic Shriners.
