Blurton, William
The late Wm. Blurton was born in Green Co., Mo., March 11, 1868. He came to Kansas in 1887. In May of 1887, he and Lauri Taylor were united in marriage at Marion. Two Children were born to them, Maude, Mrs. N Odell, and Ira.
Beside his wife and two children, there are left to mourn, a mother, two brothers and a grandmother, almost 90 years of age.
Brother Blurton was converted at
the age of 16 and united with a church
in Missouri. Later as he studied the
Word he became convinced of the
scriptural foundation of the Baptists
and two years after his conversion
united himself with that denomination.
He was zealous in defense of its doctrines
and it was thought perhaps that
he was sometimes over zealous. He
was ready to help in the Lord's work to
the extent of his ability and kind to any
that might need a friend. He made
mistakes but was willing to admit them.
Perhaps few knew how much be
mourned over some of his shortcomings.
For a long time he was very anxious
for a Baptist church in Cottonwood
Falls. On the human side it was due
largely to his importunity that last
spring the writer went to Cottonwood
and commenced meetings which resulted
in the organization of little band into
the Cottonwood Falls Baptist church.
His zeal did not seem to be that he might
lead but that the work might go on and
prosper. He has dropped out of life
while yet a young man.
Let him be
remembered for his kind words and
deeds. In his last days much time was
spent in reading the Word. Perhaps
he had little thought that he would so
soon know the realities of another world.
