DEATH OF DR. BURROUGHS.
He Was One of the Most Prominent Physicians.
Houston, Tex., May 4. — The remains of Dr. J. J. Burroughs, an honored and old-time citizen of Houston, were interred this afternoon in Glenwood Cemetery after a solemn ceremony conducted by Dr. Granville T. Storey from the late residence at No. 911 Milam street.
Dr. Burroughs is survived by his widow and three children, Lieut. J. M. Burroughs of the United States army, John J. Burroughs and Mrs. Xerline Huey, all of whom were at the bedside of their father when death came to him at the advanced age of 79 years.
The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: F. A. Reichardt, A. E. Peden, John Stewart, L. R. Bryan, Baker Armstrong, James Welsh and Joe Wiggin.
Dr. Burroughs was a physician of more than local recognition. He was a graduate of Bellevue College of New York, and also of the Jefferson Medical College of Medicine and Surgery of Philadelphia. Deceased had acquaintances among the leading medical men of this country.
Dr. Burroughs was born May 1, 1831, at Tuscaloosa, Ala., and was at the time of his death in his 79th year. He received his literary education at the University of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and shortly thereafter moved to Texas, settling in Newton County, where he read medicine and attended lectures in the New Orleans school. He graduated in medicine and located at Milam, Sabine County, where he was married to Miss Anna E. Bush, only daughter of Gen. D. B. Bush. After a brief practice at Milam, Dr. Burroughs moved to Woodville, Tyler County, where he soon received a very Urge practice. He remained at Woodville until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the confederate army and was made first lieutenant of Capt. Jack Bean's company in Col. J. R. Burnett's regiment. He was afterward promoted to surgeon, and while acting in that capacity was taken a prisoner at the Arkansas River post and sent to prison at Fort Delaware, where he was confined until the close of the war, being then liberated to return to his home. He moved to Houston in the fall of 1865, where he soon acquired a very large and successful practice both as a physician and skilled surgeon.
∼BURROUGHS, J. J., 2nd Lieutenant (1833 - 1863?) Born in Alabama,
J. J. Burroughs studied and was licensed to practice medicine about
1855, prior to moving to Tyler County, Texas. Burroughs was a close
neighbor of C. H. Jones and M. L. McAlister in Woodville. He
volunteered and served as a lieutenant in
Company F "Woodville Rifles", 1st Texas Infantry Regiment, Hood's Brigade
, until he was discharged for poor health in late 1861 or early 1862.
He returned to Woodville, where he volunteered for Company K

wintered at Camp Nelson, Arkansas in 1862-1863, where
1,500 soldiers died from epidemic illnesses and exposure
