Graham Burnham, aged 65, died at the family home, 1724 New Boston Road, Texarkana, at 11:25 Friday night, May 22, following a month's illness. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ida C. Burnham, one son, Robert Burnham of Sabinal, Texas; three daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Eason, Misses Edith and Barbara Burnham, all of Texarkana.
Funeral services were held at East Funeral Home Sunday morning after which the body was brought to Glenwood by East Funeral Home Directors, Travis Owen and John Malaby and burial was in Glenwood Cemetery at 12:30 Sunday following a brief funeral service in charge of the Rev. W.H. Harvey.
Mr. Burnham was born in Lyons, Iowa in 1861 and moved to Arkansas in 1906 and resided in Glenwood until six years ago, when he moved to Texarkana and established the Texarkana Map and Blue Print Company.
Mr. Burnham was perhaps the most widely known resident of Glenwood or Pike County. Having engaged in the newspaper work before coming to Arkansas, he published the Hound Dog, an "occasional" humorous, literary and booster publication started in 1921. He was also a poet and many of his poems have been contributed to various press programs and he was one time publisher of the Glenwood News Press and gave to Glenwood the publicity that had made it famously known as "Glenwood on the Caddo". No resident of this section has worked harder for the development of the county's resources or to tell more of the possibilities than he. He owned much lad in this section and often entertained many people in fishing and hunting here. He was host to the Arkansas Press Association here several years ago and that meeting is still talked about in press meetings by many of the older members who were in attendance. Mr. Burnham established a name in the newspaper world that will remain as long as time, and no mention outside the State that it does not call to mind Graham Burnham and the Caddo River.
