Once child was born to this union, Mrs. V.J. Clute, who departed this life May 15, 1903.

The burrows family moved from Wilton to Elroy and then to Janesville, where a greater part of their life was passed. In 1902 the family came to Greenwood and a few years later returned to Tomah, where Mr. Burrows died.

Deceased was a very hospitable and friendly elderly lady, whom everyone loved and though a great deal of. She was one of the charter members of the O.E.S. in this city.
