Ananias Burd, 72, died Saturday at 11 a. m., of the cumulative effect of four strokes of paralysis which he has received during recent years, the last being received just prior to his death. His wife, nee Sarah E. Long, died nine years ago and he is survived by his children: Annie L., at home; Samuel W., tinner, this place; William H., principal of the Central Grammar school, Altoona; Edward H., connected with the new Silk Mill firm, Huntingdon; also by the following sisters and brothers, Mrs. Alice Albright and Mrs. Mary Meisenhelter, Harrisburg; Joseph Burd, Walnut Grove, Juniata township; Wesley Burd, Denver, Lancaster county; J. W. Burd, Mechanicsburg. Seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive. He was born in Juniata township April 2, 1847, being the son of Joseph and Annie (Stricker) Burd. He was a hard working man and held in high esteem by many. He resided at Donnally Mills until 12 years ago, when he and his family removed to this place, building a comfortable dwelling in Juniata Heights, Oliver township. He was a member of Lieut. Arnold Lobaugh Post No. 297, G. A. R., this place, by virtue of his services in the Union army during the Civil War. At that time it was necessary on account of his tender years to use an assumed name in order to enlist and his name appears in the roster as Jonas Burd, who enlisted February 19, 1864, and was mustered into the United States service at Harrisburg, to serve three years as a Private in Captain Joseph G. Tilford's Co. K, 3rd Reg., United States (Regular) Cavalry. The Regiment formed part of the Cavalry Corps Army of the West and detailed for service on the frontiers against the operations of guerrillas and Rebel Cavalry; also engaged in numerous fights in Missouri and Mississippi, their duties being of a trying and arduous nature, entailing great hardships and privations. Comrade Burd shared the fortunes of his Regiment in all its movements and engagements from the time of his enlistment until he was finally and honorably discharged March 3, 1865, by reason of disability and order from the Secretary of War. He was in hospitals at St. Louis and Little Rock, Ark. Funeral services were held at his late home today at 10 a. m., Rev U. O. H. Kerschner of the Newport Reformed church officiating. Interment was in Newport Cemetery at the side of his wife, the late Mrs. Burd, the G. A. R. burial ritual being used at the grave.
