The Funeral Of John Burg

THE FUNERAL OF JOHN BURG

HELD AT THE BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE

Which He Had Enjoyed for so Few Years - Touching Tributes to a Good Man

The funeral of John Burg was held from his late residence, corner of Hill street and Oakland avenue at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and was attended by a large number of his old friends.

The casket was placed in the drawing room and was surrounded by a profusion of most beautiful floral tributes of the many friends of the deceased.  Around the cast was a rope of American Beauty roses intertwined with green and the casket was almost covered with the flowers of which Mr. Burg had been the fondest.

Rev. J. Mills Gelston spoke very consolingly to the bereaved ones and spoke in glowing praise of the one who had gone.  A quartet led by Prof R. H. Kempf and composed of Miss Liebig, Mrs. Kempf, Mr. Meyer and Mr. Muehlig sang several very beautiful numbers in German.

The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Forest Hill cemetery.
