  Died – On Monday morning John Burke, another of Calumet County's pioneer settlers, joined the silent majority. Mr. Burke was in his 80th years, and his death was sudden and unexpected. He had been in apparently good health for some time previous to his death. Monday morning while eating breakfast he complained of a pain in his chest. Shortly afterward he went to his bedroom and lay down, where he passed away without a struggle. Mr. Burke was born in the county Galway, Ireland. In 1846 he came to America and located in Pennsylvania where he was married. In 1853 he came to Wisconsin and located on a farm in the southwest portion of the town of New Holstein where he remained until 1868 when he moved into the town of Rantoul where he has since resided. In 1893 his wife died and the following year he disposed of his farm and took up his home with his daughter, Mrs. Timothy Harlow. He was held in high esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances. The funeral took place on Wednesday from St. Augustine's Catholic church of this city, of which he was a devoted member. One son, John, and four daughters, Mrs. T. Harlow, of Rantoul, Mesdames M. Connelly, M. Considine and F. Kehgel of Escanaba, mourn his death.
