Burden, pastor of the General Baptist church, died Thursday morning about six o’clock, near Marion, where he had gone to conduct a meeting. He was stricken with flux soon after his arrival, and his condition soon grew alarming. A telephone message was sent his family, but before his wife could reach his bedside he had passed away. Bro. Burden came to Earlington from Ohio county about seven years ago and conducted a very successful meeting at the Missionary Baptist church. He afterwards organized a church of his own denomination and was chosen pastor, so he moved his family here, where they have since made their home. It was largely due to his efforts that the General Baptist church was built in this city and the re-painting of this church a few weeks ago was perhaps the last manual labor he ever did. The remains arrived on the early train Friday morning and were taken to the church where an impressive funeral service was held, followed by interment at Earlington cemetery. The mother, wife and family have the sympathy of many in their bereavement. * * * * * DISASTROUS WRECK Two Men Killed in Head End Collision Near Mortons Gap. Slight Injuries to Others and Much Loss of Rolling Stock. The wreck of two freight trains which occurred between Mortons Gap and Barnsley last Thursday evening—the day of THE BEE’S last issue—was the most disastrous to life and property of any wreck that has occurred on this division for a long time. Two men were killed, Brakeman E. N. Corbett and Cleveland Harris, of Barnsley, who was with other boys stealing a ride. Arthur Wade had a leg broken. He was with Harris and Earnest Durham and the latter was also somewhat bruised. Engineers McGrath and Porter, Conductor Ingram and Brakeman Eastwood were hurt more or less by jumping from their trains.
