At about ten o'clock on New Year's eve W. T. 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. A. R. Post of which he was a member.
In losing Mr. Burton, Canadian County loses one of her
best-hearted and most enterprising citizens.
