    • HAYTI MISSOURI HERALD OBITUARY ­ 03/20/1919
      Thomas S. Burch, a substantial farmer living near Hayti, died at the Baptist Sanitarium in St. Louis Wednesday night, [March 12, 1919] where he had gone for treatment a few days previously for some affection of the head, we are told - possibly neuralgia or some kindred ailment. His death was sudden and unexpected, very few in this locality having known of his visit to St. Louis, and while he had been known to have been in poor health lately, his illness had not been considered of a serious nature. Besides the widow the deceased leaves four children, one of whom, Romeo, is in the service in France, and one brother, Henry W. Burch, and a sister, Mrs. Greenwell, in this locality. The latter, in company with Mrs. Burch, went up to St. Louis yesterday, accompanying the remains home this morning. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church this morning at 9 o'clock, in charge of Rev. Mispagel, and the body laid to rest in the Catholic section of Little Prairie Cemetery shortly afterward. Mr. Burch, who formerly was the mail carrier on Route 1, out of this city, was a man of excellent standing, a good citizen and one who will be greatly missed here. The Democrat extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives in the sudden and severe shock of is loss --Friday's issue of Caruthersville Democrat.
