The Cass County Pioneer - JOHN W. BURKE - Services were at 1 p.m. last Friday for John W. Burke, 65, resident of the Walker and Akeley area many years, who died April 21 at Bolivar, Mo. Services were at Olivar, interment in the National Cemetery at Springfield, Mo. John Wesley Burke was a retired engineer and a veteran of World War I.

Gale's note: I have linked "Daddy Jack" to Henry J. Burke because he is the only father he knew. His mother never told him who his father was. Daddy Jack was listed on the 1900 census as a son of his grandparents when he was actually the son of their daughter Anna.
Daddy Jack was a great Dad to my Dad and a great grandfather to me.
