Mr. Burger was, at one time, inspector of fire plugs for the city, and was later engineer of the Dallas county courthouse. He retired from active work several years ago. He was a Knight Templar and formerly belonged to all Masonic bodies in Dallas. He was a member of the Uhland Lodge of the Sons of Hermann.
