Henry G. Burson, resident of Valley county for more than 55 years, passed away suddenly at his home in north Ord Thursday evening at 5: 15, as the result of a heart attack. He was apparently in about his usual health and his sudden passing came as a distinct shock to all who knew him. Until his retirement from the farm in 1924 he was always an ambitious and hard working man, and he always found work to keep employed after he had moved to town. He will be sincerely mourned for by his old neighbors and friends who knew him best.
