Curtis Eugene Burks, oldest son of Charlie E. Burks and Bessie King. He passed away in November 1943...just before his 18th birthday...from injuries sustained in an auto accident at the Southern Railway underpass in Hurt, Va. He was working in a mill in Danville at that time and was probably preparing to be drafted into WWII. He worked as a young boy delivering groceries in Altavista, Va. He was buried at the family farm in Hill Grove, Pittsylvania Co., but, in 1976, was moved to Greenhill Cem in Altavista, Campbell Co., Va.
