FLNLEY BURKE PASSES AWAY

Flnley Burke, senior member of the law
Arm of Burke, Harle & Tlnley, who under
went an operation for appendicitis Thurs
day, died a few minutes before 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at Mercy hospital.
Ills wife and children and a few Intimate
friends for whom he had asked during
his last hours were at his bedside when he
passed away.
But a few days ago Mr. Burke was ap
parently In the best of health and his death
came as a great shock to his many friends
and acquaintances in this city and especl
ally to the members -of the legal fraternity,
in which he held for many years a leading
position. He was taken suddenly 111 last
Wednesday and Thursday morning his con
dition became so alarming, that It was
deemed advisable to remove him from his
residence on Oakland avenue to Mercy
hospital, where during the afternoon he
was operated Upon for appendicitis. The
operation disclosed the fact that the caee
was a most serious one, and that the
chances for Mr. Burke's recovery were not
of the brightest. He held his own, how
ever, until Sunday night, when he began
to fall rapidly and the attending physi
cians did not expect he would survive
through the night, but It was a few minutes
before 1 o'clock in the afternoon when the
end came.
Flnley Burke 'was nearlng his forty
eighth birthday, having been born Septem
ber . L 1855.. . In Wheeling, W, . Va, His

law and was admitted to practice Novem
ber 16, 1874, after an examination in open
court before Hon. J. K. Reed, of this city,
now chief justice of the federal court of
ylvate land claims. For some time he en
joyed the distinction ot being the young
est lawyer In the state of Iowa. He was
married In June, 1877, to Miss Llxzle Cos
ady, whose death occurred within a short
time after their marriage. In the spring of
1881 Mr. Burke removed from Council Bluffs
to Orange City, Ia., where he" remained
practicing law until February, 1837, when
he returned to this city. . In February, issa,
he married Miss Parthenla Jeffries, daugh
ter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Jeffrie, who
with four children survives him..
Mr. Burke had been president for several
years of the Pottawattamie County Bar
Association until this year. He was also

o'clock from St. Francis Xavler's church.

C. E. Whitten and J. M. Morrow, owners of
a general store in Leando; W. E. Co wen, a
furniture dealer of the same town; Gilbert
McQill and George Rambo, owners of gen
eral stores at Douds; A. A. MeCrary, lum
ber dealer at Douds, and fourteen promi

opposite sides of the Des Moines river. It
Is the plan to effect consolidation of the
towns and to effect a complete merger of
the mercantile business of the towns. As
nearly all the leading farmers are stock
holders the experiment will be almost a
co-operative movement. The two towns are
to bear the name of both.

riages to the square Inch than any other
town In the surrounding country. This Is
the third couple to give their friends a sur
prise in the past six months.
