Daniel Burkholder, who has been an invalid for some years past, suffering from a stroke of paralysis. but bearing his sore affliction with unfailing cheerfulness, without a word of repining or of impatience, who passed away after another attack of the disease from which he has been afflicted, last Wednesday, was a native of Canada, born April 10, 1837, in which country he made his home until 1870 when he came to Missouri, purchasing land in Enterprise township which he improved and farmed until two years since, when he removed to Brookfield. His wife, the faithful companion of many years, five sons and three daughters are the surviving members of his immediate family. The funeral will occur today, Saturday, at 1 o'clock p.m., the services conducted by Rev. Ben. F. Hill.
