Individual:
On his gravestone the birth date appears to be listed as 1865.
According to personal papers and family oral history:
William Henry Burrows was born on July 25 in either 1864 or 1865, probably in Fulton, Illinois (possibly in Polo, Illinois). He left home at the age of 14, and supported himself from that time on. When he was about 18, he opened a skating rink in Nebraska with Henry Martin, supposedly the first in that state. A few years later he was living in Belle Plaine, Benton County, Iowa and worked in J. D. Blue's store. He married the boss's daughter Iona when he was about 25. A year after their marriage, he and two partners opened a gentleman's clothing store in Belle Plaine.
Three years later the downtown section of Belle Plaine was destroyed by fire. Whereas his father-in-law gave up general merchandizing for the insurance business, William Henry reopened clothing store with one of his previous partners, L. T. Sweet. In 1897 William Henry and Iona, and their two children Lowell and Alice Iona lived at 36 North Maple Street, Belle Plaine. His store, W. H. Burrows & Co, was at 37 Main St., Belle Plaine. In 1898, W. H. Burrows & Co was moved to Oelwein, Fayette county, Iowa.
By 1900, the Burrowses had moved to Marshalltown, Marshall county, Iowa. Their address appears to have been 5 West Grant St., Marshalltown, Iowa. According to Catherine Cramer, William Henry's grandaugther, they had two houses in Marshalltown--one at 111 North First St., and one on Fourth St. In 1901, L.T. Sweet had died and the partnership disolved. At that time the business was located in Marshalltown. There is no record of when it moved there from Oelwein.
They lived in Marshalltown until 1906, when they moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where they lived at 1126 First Ave until 1917. In 1908 W. H. Burrows & Co. appears to have been located at 116-118 South Second Street, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. By 1916 William Henry was in the automobile business and his son Lowell was encouraging him to go back into the clothing business, which he apparently did in 1917, when he moved to Iowa Falls and purchased William Weldon's department store. According to Cathy Cramer, who lived with her garndparents for a year and a half when her mother was suffering from a spinal tumor, William Henry had two men's clothing stores--one in Iowa Falls and one in Eldora and between the two stores he put up little advertising signs each with a line of a jingle which he wrote, and which were spaced just the distance to read as one drove along the road. Supposedly the old Burma Shave signs were a copy of these signs.
In the mid-1930's Iona had a long bout with cancer. In 1934 she and William Henry moved to Pasadena, California to be with their daughters Helen and Iona. She died there in 1936. William Henry stayed on in Pasadena after Iona's death and lived in the Elks Club on Colorado Blvd. He died there in 1946.2 Sep 200211:03:23According to the 1900 census, Wm H. Burrows was born July 1864. He was living a 5 W. Grant, Marshalltown (Marshall), IA.17 Oct 199922:41:26Who were Mona (Moner) and Bunner?17 Mar 200212:43:55

- Title: Burrows/Blue gravesite Oak Hill Cemetery
Author: Jim Burrows
Text: I have twice been to the family grave site in Belle Plains. There
is one large central stone. On one side (the North?) is carved thename Burrows. On the other side the name Blue is carved above thename Noble. There are three smaller stones to the North? and fourin the opposite direction. All of the stones but that of Dr. Nobleare of the same style. His is larger and simpler.
The cemetary records indicate that there are two unmarked graves
in the plot--those of Thomas C. Blue and his wife Winnie TaylorBlue. It would appear that neither was cremated. Records indicatethat Lowell, Wm H. and Alice were cremated, but Alice's grave ismarked with wire as if her body were buried there.
The stones are arranged thus:
EPN ABN JDB EAB
Blue
Nobel
-------
Burrows
IBB WHB LAB (TCB) (WTB)
The inscriptions read:
Dr. E. P. Noble / 1868 - 1904 / At Rest
Alice Blue Noble / 1871 Peterson 1962
Father / John D. Blue / 1844 - 1930
Mother / Ella A. Blue / 1844 - 1939
Iona Blue Burrows / 1868 - 1936
William H. Burrows / 1865 - 1946
Lowell A. Burrows / 1891 - 1938
Iona's grave is also marked by two metal markers--one for the DAR,
and one for the PEO.
We have since buried my grandmother, Grace, in her husband
