BURTON WILLIAM TRIMBLE WAS BORN AUGUST 25, 1900, ON A FARM WEST OF TOWN WHERE HIS LIFE HAS BEEN SPENT.  BY HIS GENIAL SPIRIT HE WON A LARGE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHO SYMPATHIZE DEEPLY WITH THE BEREAVED FAMILY.  IN BOYHOOD HE WAS CONVERTED AND UNITED WITH THE MOUNT AYR BAPTIST CHURCH, WHERE HE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUPY A USEFUL PLACE.  HE WAS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES UNION AND OF THE YOUNG MEN’S BARACA CLASS WHERE HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED. JUST ENTERING YOUNG MANHOOD WITH SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, HIS PASSING SEEMS UNTIMELY. BUT HIS EARNEST CHRISTIAN LIFE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO MANY AND HE WROUGHT NOBLY AND WELL WHILE HE LIVED.
