OBITUARIES OF BURLINGTON PEOPLE

Bold print indicated obits that I copied personally, mostly in full. (compiled by L.Alderman, revised updated, 10-19-2006 These obituaries have been accumulated, hoping that they will be helpful genealogically. Also to provide some knowledge of earlier Burlington residents.

They have been obtained mostly from newspaper clippings in old scrap books. If the newspaper name was available, that also was included. Also I have added much more information to them over the years such as full dates, full names and relationships, etc.

There are bound to be errors. I would be glad to correct any to keep the record straight. Also would welcome more additions of Burlington people. Printed copy, $20.00

BARNES CHARLES L. of this city is best known to the public as "Barnes the Wood Man," a name revered by all dutiful husbands whose exacting wives required them to prepare breakfast kindlings ere the blessed name of Barnes became a household word. Barnes was born in Burlington, CT in 4-13-1859 and when 21 years of age was conducting a wholesale wood business in Unionville. In 1885 he sold out, came to New Britain and accepted a position in the Stanley Works, but gave this up to go to TX and engage in cattle raising on Eagle Lake.

9 Barnes had beautiful luck as a rancher. Almost his first nice experience was while riding about the prairie, watching the cattle one day, to draw a bead with his Winchester on a prairie hen. The report of his gun startled the horse, who threw Barnes off his back and started off. To see a man walking over the prairie was a new sight to the cattle and they crowded from all sides around Barnes and it was only by the hardest work that he escaped being trampled to death by them. Seeing no prospective profit in cattle raising, he conceived the idea of a geese farm and laid out $150 in procuring a fine flock. The first night the geese were on the ranch the wolves made a descent on them and carried off all but two. Determined to get even with the wolves he sprinkled meat with poison and scattered it in their way. Two of his best dogs, valued at $75 each found it before the wolves did, and promptly turned up their toes. Finally Barnes got sick, very sick, and had the closest kind of a call to sit somewhere on the edge of a damp cloud and twang a harp by moonlight. When he was able to sit up he had to get over into the health-restoring atmosphere of San Antonio and stay for several months and give up all ideas of cattle raising. Then he wandered from Dan to Beersheba through the western country, his Yankee ingenuity being taxed to its utmost by having to turn his hand to many occupations. We find him a teamster in St. Louis, a roustabout on a Mississippi steamboat, a lumberman in Minnesota, a miner and a homesteader at Bismarck in Dakota, an assistant in the government survey of the Bad Lands, a farm hand and a railroad brakeman, in Illinois, a contractor in an Ohio factory, and finally back again in New Britain in the Stanley Works. All this teeth-sharpening experience done Barnes good and laid the foundation for his present magnificent success as the "Wood Man". It is only a year ago in July that he bought out the wood business carried on for twenty years by Uncle Horace Booth in Lafayette street. He has extended the business and sells about ten times as much wood as Mr. Booth ever did. Few people suspect the amount of wood he handles. Just at present he has over 600 cords stored in three different places in New Britain. He buys much of his father, who owns a saw mill and 10,000 cords of standing wood in Hartford county. Barnes has added to the wood business he bought of Booth several kinds of kindlings, coal, charcoal, baled hay and straw and in all of these lines is gaining every day. The public is finding out that Barnes deals on the square and gives full measure, full weight of all he sells. Our advice to readers who do not know Barnes is to scrape acquaintance with him by patronizing him. Burial in Center Cemetery, Burlington, CT.

VET HAD PASSION FOR FLAG ETIQUETTE By Don Stacom, HC, 8-19-2003 When the American flag is displayed against a wall, do the stars go on the right side or the left? What's the proper procedure when two people are folding a flag? And how about tattered or tom flags -- is there a correct way to retire them? The answers to those questions were deeply important to the late John Cochran, a Korean War veteran from Burlington who spent many of his retirement years trying to educate people about flags and flag etiquette. In his memory, a -based American Veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam post will sponsor flag education programs in several New England public schools this year. Cochran, who died two years ago at 66, had been close friends with the commander of Am- vets Post 12 in Chicopee, Mass., according to his brother, Don Cochran of Burlington. Post 12 has been selling flags since April to raise money for a flag education campaign, and announced this week that it will sponsor a number of New England schools to participate in a training program by the National Flag Foundation. The goal is to educate young people about the correct way to display and care for an American flag. John Cochran, who was stationed in Japan during his service in the Air Force, later worked for the Farmington school system. He felt strongly that Americans should know the correct rules for handling their flag. "He had a need to spread flag etiquette. He went about it tooth and nail," said Don Cochran, a Vietnam War veteran who holds vigils to publicize the campaign to remember U.S. prisoners of war and servicemen missing in action. "John got interested in the vigils to keep people aware of the fact that sometimes people go to war and don't come back. But his real specialty was flag etiquette," Don Cochran said.

It is Jeffrey's wish that they be shared with everyone through this newsletter. Jeff continues on his way to renewed health as we continue to hold he and his family in our prayers. Dear Friends, Considering November 27 was the one year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis, I have spent this past week counting and contemplating upon the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me. ABOVE ALL else I am most grateful for the tremendous support system that has perpetually surrounded me every step of the way; many of whom are individuals and families of this congregation. Your phone calls, memos, letters, holiday cards, homemade cards and visits

31 ceased to ever halt at any point during this past year -I was forever reminded that I was never alone. Furthermore, I am thankful that I have continually been uplifted in prayer -and indeed, I have felt those prayers from all angles. I only ask that they continue as I am currently going through the biggest transition I have yet faced -the post Bone Marrow Transplant phase. I would like to share with you an experience that demonstrates God's awesome power, as it is our duty to share these events when we bear direct witness to them. On the day before I was supposed to start the initial medications in preparation for the transplant, I received news from my doctor that a CT scan reading taken that morning showed an image which appeared to be an unidentifiable mass -something that wasn't there on a previous scan. Although it could be a number of things, they obviously couldn't rule out it being cancer without doing a biopsy. My doctor was gracious but did indicate that the transplant would be on hold further until determination. Essentially, a new mass would indicate that my body had not fully responded to the chemotherapy I had gotten several weeks earlier. Other professionals in the office approached the situation rather solemnly as if preparing me for the worst. I had prepared myself psychologically for the transplant for weeks and now the rug seemed to be pulled right from under me. Additionally, I was given ample time to fret as the biopsy couldn't be performed for another four days due to tight scheduling problems. Of course, I freaked out a bit as us humans with challenging diseases should at times. I went home, had a good cry and decided that the only way to get through the next several days was to somehow revolutionize the approach to facing my fears and how this impacted my relationship with God. Although I had been the recipient of many prayers and had prayed during the entire extent of my illness, I had always regarded my situation with some ounce of old-fashioned skepticism. Translation - I trusted God's power but had never given my faith and fears COMPLETELY over to Him. But now, in the biggest decision that was ever to effect my life, I decided it might be worth a try to do this. During the weekend previous to the biopsy, I called a number of friends and family asking for their support and prayers. Instead of asking them to ask God to MAKE EVERYTHING PERFECT (i.e., please, please don't let it be cancer), I asked everyone to give me the strength to hand the situation completely over to God and to put MY FAITH in his ability to allow me to handle the reality of whatever was to happen. Once this was done, to grant me a sense of calm and peace. The next day, I felt as if giant weights had been lifted off my shoulders. Although I occasionally thought about the upcoming biopsy, my mind seemed more prone to contemplate other things. On the day of the biopsy, I felt remarkably refreshed. Still worried around the edges, however, I spent the 3 hours previous to the procedure (while receiving a plasma transfusion) in prayer. Having found in a special prayer book words that continually reminded me of God's everlasting presence and ability to renew the mind, bodying so - I repeated the following several times as if a mantra. INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY WHICH YOU HAVE CREATED, REDEEMED, RENEWED. O LORD, O GOD OF TRUTH, AS YOU HAVE CREATED AND RENEWED ALL THAT I POSSESS AND ALL THAT I LOVE, Never before had I felt so completely invigorated by anything, so much that it far exceeded what it insinuated, Often we hear the words but only half believe them. Resting quite comfortably on the biopsy table, I stared at the ceiling with a serenity that is quite inexplicable. I remember smiling as a little voice in my head said "Have no fear" you will be out of here before you know it". Within moments, one of the surgeons came over and asked (as if a joke) "what side of the abdomen is this mass supposed to be on, the left?" "No, the right," I responded, the other player

32 of our newly-formed vaudeville act, He went back over to the scanner and consulted for a few minutes with the other doctor. I continued to lie on the table fearlessly. "So, do you want the bad news or good news first?" he questioned, "The bad news," I responded quickly, "Well, the bad news is we have wasted your time today…The good news is whatever was there is now gone, or at least vanished from the scanner," Of course, there are not big enough words to describe how it is to be the recipient of such miracles but I will say this! When they do happen, don't forget to share them and forever praise God's abilities in thanksgiving. After all, that is an equal part of the giving it over to God theory. Czwercko, George, of Arch St. Burlington, born in Austria, 1899-1942. Was a polisher in that Collins Co. He leaves 3 sons, George Jr. Stephen and John; seven daughters, Mrs. Mary Stanulis, Mrs. Ann Krish, Mrs. Helen Bossardt, Susan, Ethel, Julia and Veronica Czwercko. Burial in Holy Trinity Cemetery.

KRAPPATSCH, MATILDA S. 75, (1847, 6-20-1923) died this past week recalls how one can live a considerable portion of ones life in the big city and yet come to love the country far better, for many years prior to coming to Burlington, Mrs.Krappatsch lived in New York City and yet she found life's happiest existence on a farm located on a back road, with no traffic, at least one-half mile from Whigville Center. She became exceedingly fond of this home surrounded by woods on all sides and could have told many that life's best is not to be found in the nervous frivolity of the city but in the quit of the country where one comes closest to all that nature's God has provided. So dearly did Mrs. Krappatsch love the town of Burlington that in her last years she often stated that she did not wish to be buried in Bristol where other members of the family had a burial lot, but in the Milford Street cemetery in Burlington, where she was laid to rest. Burlington truly had a loyal daughter in Matilda Krappatsch, one who loved the old town with a loyalty not often met with. Farmington Valley Herald-6-28-1923. The burial of Mrs. Krappatsch at the Lamson Corner Cemetery calls attention to the fact that there are but three vacant lots in the whole cemetery and there would not be that many but for the fact that families to whom they were assigned have moved away without ever making any use of the lots. The cemetery is kept in good condition for a country cemetery and is in charge of Sherman B.Scoville. The ancestors of several prominent families he buried here. At one time a Methodist Church stood near this cemetery but later it was moved to Burlington Center and when still later the Protestant population of the town was not large enough to support two churches, the Methodist Church was sold to the town and has been for many years the Burlington town hall. It is always a good sign to see a town interested in keeping up its old cemeteries. In these graveyards lie many who have made valuable contributions to the town's life in the past and they deserve in their last resting place the care and gratitude which coming generations can give if they but give a little thought to such matters. (The Methodist Episcopal Church stood in what is now that cemetery, was moved to the Center in 1836.-L.R.A.)

Burial in Center Cemetery, Burlington, CT. LOWREY, WILLIAM. The following is an exact copy of a clipping received by his brother, Mr. Hiram P.Lowrey in regard to the death of William Lowrey; Chehales, Wash. March 25. Begging piteously for his fellow workers to kill him and end his sufferings, William Lowrey yesterday afternoon died after enduring two hours and a half of the most awful agony. The frightful accident occurred at the logging camp of Ed. Eastman on Deep Creek. Lowrey was in charge of a donkey engine which was being moved across the creek. A

75 stringer of the bridge gave way, overturning the machine and Lowrey was caught underneath in such a way that it was utterly impossible for his companions to extricate him. With his back squarely against the boiler Lowrey was slowly cooked to death. He made a hard fight to drowned himself in the waters of the creek. When the accident first occurred, his head was under water for twenty minutes, but his companions succeeded in raising it above the water surface and held it there despite his efforts to free himself and drown. Every possible effort was made by the fifteen fellow workers to rescue Lowrey, but nothing they could do would budge the engine. Lowrey was conscious to the last and gave the men his dying requests. He was one of the best known and most popular engineers in the state. For a number of years he resided in Centralia and was engineer on the Northern Pacific on the main line between Tacoma and Ellensburg.

His physician, Dr. Spring was summoned, and in the meantime such remedies as were available were restored for they were of no avail and death came very quickly. Mr. Stone was 45 years of age, having been born in the town of Farmington, 4-25-1872, the son of Mark B. and Emily Stone. In early childhood the family moved to Whigville, living in the house which has since become the summer home of William L.Neubauer of this city. Here he received his education in the public school and lived until young manhood, when he obtained work in Bristol and took up his residence in this city. He was married in 1897 to Miss Jennie Lewis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis and thereafter made his home with ---. For a good many years he has been employed in the automatic department of the movement shop of the E.Ingraham Clock Company. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and an attendant of the Congregational Church. Having spent nearly his entire life in this section he was well known in Bristol. His quiet, genial friendly disposition won for him many friends will keenly regret his untimely decease. He was a faithful and devoted husband and father, and his fine qualities of heart and disposition combined with integrity of character placed him high in the esteem of all who knew him. Of his survivors are his father, Mark B.Stone, now residing in Plainville, his two brothers, Edward, recently moved to Morris Cove, and Hubert of Forestville; by a sister, Mrs. Chas. Norton of Forestville and a half sister, Mrs. Charles Gaylord of Burlington Ave. and Amy his wife and 12 year old son, George. The funeral arrangements are in charge of E.H.Funck. The service will be held at the house Thursday at 2:20 and it is expected in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Wismer, that Rev. Henry S.Still of the Forestville M.E. Church will officiate. Members of the Knights of Pythias will act as bearers. Interment will take place in West Cemetery, Bristol, CT. Card of Thanks; We wish to thank everyone for their kindness after the death of our father and grandfather, for the beautiful flowers sent, and to the Masonic Order for their presence at the funeral service.

They had six children, two died in infancy and three lived to survive him. They were Dennis and William of Cleveland and a married daughter, Mrs. Mary Upson Rose, also of Cleveland. Mr. Upson's remains were brought back to Unionville and he was buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Unionville. Two years later, his children had a huge monument placed on his grave. It was a twenty-five ton granite block, beautifully designed. It took the combined efforts of fifteen men, a steam roller and four large draft horses to move it from Plainville Railroad Station to Unionville, a distance of about eight miles. It required six hours to transport the huge stone over

128 the Farmington trolley bridge, which was used in preference to the traffic bridge as it was more substantial. This was accomplished after the midnight trolley had completed its run. The monument was quarried by the Presbrey Coykendall Company of Barre, VT. After arriving at the cemetery a roadbed of large timbers was constructed running into the cemetery. The huge monument was then taken from the truck and placed on large rolls and drawn up the hill, several hundred feet to the family plot, by the use of horses and tackle blocks. It took seven to eight days to get the stone located, it was afterwards inscribed and a statue placed thereon.

NOTES CREMATIONS December 9, 1997 marks the 205th anniversary of the cremation of colonial statesman Henry Laurens near Charleston, SC -- the first formal flame-out on American soil. These days cremation is all the , with 22% of Americans choosing it over burial. According to Jack Springer, head of the Cremation Association of North America; -- In ancient only the rich were cremated. Christians did away with the practice because of the doctrine of bodily resurrection. The Catholic Church only recently permitted ashes to be present at funeral masses. “When Hindus are cremated in America, the eldest son pushes the button on the crematory, just as he would light the funeral pyre.” Between 1875 and 1900 there were fewer than 5,000 cremations in the US. “Hardly anyone was cremated before 1930. There were few crematoriums, and it was looked on as bizarre.” Only 25% of cremated Americans have their ashes scattered; the rest are either buried (55%) or placed in a niche in a columbarium (20%) The ashes of Timothy Leary and “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry went into space on board a US satellite. Other fun ways to scatter: Pacific Memorials in Los Angeles mixes ashes into fireworks (818-704-0165); Canuck’s Sportsman’s Memorials in Des Moines stuffs them into shotgun shells. (515-244-8631). Earlier this year the ashes of Mark Gruenwald, an editor at Marvel Comics, were put into the ink of a single-volume comic series called Squadron Supreme. It’s available at comic book stores for $25.00 CREMATORIUMS Cedar Hill Crematory in Hartford has 3 retorts or furnaces. About 30 percent of people who die in Connecticut are cremated, although the national average is 26 percent. The Cremation Association of North America estimates that by 2025 more than 65 percent of the state’s deceased will be cremated, compared with 50 percent nationwide. Some reasons; it is cheaper, and a cremation takes up less room, the ashes can be easily transported, even by mail. The retort interior is long and skinny like a pizza oven. The cremation at 1,600 degrees takes about two hours including cooling. The remains, about 5 to 9 pounds of ash and bone fragments are then swept into a tray with a steel brush where a magnet is used to pick out any metal, sometimes, even a nail might be found, then they are pulverized, ready to be placed in an urn.

Papers were served on the man, who is about 60 years old, by Sheriff Morse today in a divorce proceeding brought against him by his wife, Effie Curtis. Intolerable cruelty is the charge and ex-senator N.E.Pierce is her counsel. "Mr. Curtis is one of the most respected men in the community," says a prominent Burlington man to night, "and if there is domestic intranquility I believe it arises from the fact that Mrs. Curtis is much younger than he and old age and youth do not always harmonize, you know."

He was born in Bristol 77 years ago, the son of Alonzo Elton of this place, who died many years ago(1896). He passed his early years here and developed early a strong liking for the sea. His parents were not particularly pleased with the idea of their boy becoming a sailor, but the call of the waves proved too much, so at the age of 18 he ran away to New London. He walked most of the way, and shipped out on the ship "New England". It was the first and last voyage he ever made, but it lasted 3 years. They visited the South Seas, crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. When they sailed into New London harbor they had 2,800 barrels of sperm & whale oil on board. This was secured on the co-operation plan, profits. These didn't turn out to be very heavy, for young Elton as his share of the three years cruise got only $76. The oil brought $2.00 a barrel, however, so somebody made quite a bunch of money out of the trip. GILLETTE, SAMUEL E. married Miss Myra Curtis 12-2-1903.

(1893) HANNA, GEORGE, his wife, and their two small daughters, had a thrilling escape from death in a fire which destroyed their home in Whigville. About 1 o'clock Mr Hanna was awakened by the roar of flames in the next room. He jumped out of bed and awakened his wife and littler daughters, 8 & 10 years old. By that time the flames had spread so that escape by the stairway was cut off. He smashed the glass from a window in their room, which was on the second floor, threw a mattress out, and jumped out on the mattress. Then Mrs. Hanna threw the two children to him and he caught them. Then Mrs. Hanna jumped, landing on the mattress safely, but she cut her foot on a piece of glass in the window sash. The wound was later dressed by Dr. Curtiss. The house, which was a large frame structure was entirely destroyed, with its contents. The barn, which contained the live stock and farming implements, was saved by the hard work of the neighbors. Mr. Hanna and his family, who were clad only in their nightclothes, were cared for by their neighbors. There was only small insurance on the house and none on the furniture. The loss to Mr. Hanna is more than $3,000. The house has been known for years as the old Mills homestead, was considerably over a century old, and was formerly the home of ex-selectman Dwight Mills.
