"Henry T. Burley falls dead in a Chicago street, the cause of death, heart disease. At the time of his death, Henry was working for the Sleeping Car Company."
The news of Burley's death reminded local residents of the Underground Railroad, the Abolition movement and many of the people involved in all anti-slavery actions. The following statement was written along side Burley's obituary: "To the survivors of the original Abolitionist, who first organized the party amid taunts, persecution and division on all sides, they have lived to see their own government take the abolition society into their hands, carry it out, and give the black man not only freedom, but his elective franchise and equal rights. They stood then alone; now the Government and nearly the whole world is with them. They have lived to see their wishes carried out, and will receive their rewards."
The Erie Weekly Gazette, February 27, 1873. "The Abolition Party"
"Henry T. Burley enlisted as a landsman in the Union Navy. His dates of service: September 5, 1864 to June 23, 1865. Burley served on the Moose, a wooden sternwheeler steam gunboat built at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1863."
