BURK, LEWIS retired res ws Franklin, 1 door n Main, Richmond.


Mr. Burk was born near Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky, March 23, 1799, and eame, with his parents, to Indiana in 1809. In 1813 he returned to Kentucky on a visit, and remain- ed there to learn the trade of a blacksmith. He came back to Richmond in the fall of 1816. Among the first jobs of work he did after his return, was to cut a set of logs for a blacksmith- shop, for which he received seventy-five cents, doing three days' work in one. Twenty-five eents per day were all the wages he could obtain working at his trade, so he turned his hand to the work of a stone-mason, building chimneys, laying foundations for houses, &c .; and in the the season, he worked at harvesting; for mason and harvest work he was accustomed to receive fifty cents per day.


In 1817 he commenced business for himself by renting a set of tools, and opening a shop about three iniles south of Richmond, near where Bur- gess Chapel now stands. From there he went to Centerville to work as a journeyman at $15 per month. His employer dying soon after, he took the shop on his own account until the spring of 1824 or 5, when he returned to Richmond, having been married to Miss Maria Moffett Nov. 27, 1823. He continued blacksmithing in Rieh- mond until 1827 or 8, when he was obliged to give it up on account of failing health.


Mr. Burk had never received any education until he commenced business for himself, when he found it indispensible, and engaged the serv - ices of a Mr. White, who was teaching near his shop south of Richmond. With the assistance of this gentleman, he was enabled in a short time to keep his accounts properly. From the time he quit blacksmithing, he was engaged sue- cessively and successfully in the grocery, tavern, and livery-stable business until 1830, when he bought a drove of horses, and went to Philadel- phia. Returning in March, 1831, he again en- gaged in hotel keeping until 1835, when he went to farming and trading. In 1839 he was elected to represent Wayne County in the lower house cor of Pearl and Mill, Richmond.


of the State Legislature. In 1841 he was eleet- ed to the State Senate, and again in 1842.


In 1852 he commenced the management of the Wayne Bank for Mr. Beckel, of Dayton, Ohio, and in 1853 bought Mr. Beckel out, and went into the banking business on his own account, which he continued until July 13, 1863, when the First National Bank of Richmond was or- ganized. From 1861 to 1864, he was Post Quar- ter-master of Camp Wayne, Richmond. Mr. Burk has always been one of the most liberal public- spirited men, lending a helping hand to any and every movement calculated to develop the re- sources of the country, or to elevate the tone of society politically, morally, and religiously; and we may add last, though not least, his benefac- tions to the poor and needy have not been grudg- ingly dealt out, but have been well-timed, judi- cious, and liberal. He is now possessed of ample fortune, enjoys excellent health, and seems to be gliding smoothly down the stream of life. May his days be long in the land, and his end peace.
