L.G. BURCH, 71 DIES
AT MAGNET

L. G. Burch, Magnet citizen for nearly 18 years, succumbed to a serious 
illness of nine weeks duration when he passed peacefully away at 1:45 
Tuesday morning. Mr. Burch’s last illness dated from March 28 when he 
took to his bed; previously he had suffered and was in frail physical 
condition to withstand the attack that proved fatal. A strong heart kept 
its steadily beat when watchers at his bedside often feared the end had come.
Chronic intestinal obstruction was the cause of death.

Loren Grant Burch was born May 20, 1861 on a farm in Jones County, Iowa; 
he attended the rural schools there and at Wyoming, Iowa and business 
college at Council Bluffs. He was married to Nell K. Patterson on March 2, 
1887 at Anamosa, Iowa and they began housekeeping on the farm that was his 
boyhood home. In December 1905, Mr. and Mrs. Burch came to Nebraska and 
engaged in farming two miles south and 1 ½ west of Magnet. Here they lived 
until failing eyesight made it necessary that Mr. Burch retire from active 
work. In the fall of 1914 he moved to Magnet where he lived until his death.

During his illness, his wife cared for him tenderly and faithfully, and was a 
constant watcher at his bedside. He was patient and uncomplaining through his 
illness and through the year of failing eyesight.
Deceased leaves his wife, his son and two grandchildren, also his brother, A.M. 
Burch of Minneapolis and his sister, Mrs. H.L. Peck of Randolph.
