Burton went to the Commercial hotel, lay down upon a bed and was shortly found to be dead, having died suddenly of heart disease having an opportunity to speak to anyone.  He had been for a long time effected by heart troubles and undoubtedly thought he was liable to die at any moment.
 
Mr. Burton was a middle-aged man of good education and splendid information upon all subject.  He was born in Texas and came to Oklahoma shortly after the opening and locating in Frisco in business during the summer of 1889.  He was buried in the Frisco cemetery by the Frisco G.
