BURKE, James, Liberty, Napoleon p.o., one of the prominent and successful
farmers of Henry county, was born in Ireland, in April, 1839, and was a
son of James and Bridget Burke.  The father died in Ireland, and the mother
in England, leaving only one son, James, who emigrated to and settled in
Lorain county, O., in 1855, and married Jane Fishburn, who was born in
Yorkshire, Eng., in 1861.  They were married in Loraine county, and settled
