FUNERAL SATURDAY AT BRUNSWICK FOR VIRGIL FORT BURTON
BRUNSWICK, Mo., May 24---Funeral services were held here Saturday afternoon for Virgil Fort Burton, 70, prominent Chariton County farmer and stockman who died Thursday at the home of a son, Earl Burton, near Brunswick. The services were conducted from the First Baptist Church by the pastor, the Rev. C. D. Finfrock.
Mr. Burton had been ill about four months. Following a short period of treatment at Woodland Hospital, Moberly, recently, he was returned to his home. His condition had been critical for several days.
