Obituary - Elbert Burrows
Elbert Burrows, son of William and Emily Burrows, was born Dec. 22, 1876, in Jefferson, Henry County, Iowa, and died April 3, 1946, at his home in Gravity.
When about eleven years old he moved, with his parents, to a farm 3 miles east of Gravity. After he was grown, he and his parents moved again, this time to the home where he spent the remainder of his life.
For over thirty years he was in the harness business. To him farmers were not just customers, but real friends. This was evidenced by his unique practice of writing by hand, each spring, personal letters to one hundred of these farmer friends.
After retiring from business, Mr. Burrows spent a great deal of time reading. He was a thoughtful reader of the Bible.
He was one of eight children, only one of whom now survives, Mrs. Clara Kysar of Gravity. He also leaves a number of nieces and nephews.
The funeral services were held at the Gravity Methodist church, Saturday, April 6 at 2:00 p.m., conducted by Rev. C. W. Proctor of Sharpsburg.
