Mr. Burress maintains that every thing for its time and proves his logic from the Bible. He says that Joel spoke of these modern inventions and innovations, mentioning the "wireless" and described the Fords and automobiles by another name, knocking the bulls eye as straight as an arrow. Mr. Burress has started reading the Bible through for the sixth time to determine if possible, if there may be other modern inventions hinted at of which we have as yet been kept in the dark.

Young Burress and some friends were celebrating just west of St. Clair's crossing, and by the careless handing of his revolver Burress recieved a painful though not dangerous wound just below the knee. Dr. H.B. Frazier, of Graham, rendered the nescessary medical attention. Burress was, until a short time ago, a fireman on the Norfolk and Western.

• Newspaper: 11 May 1915, Graham, Tazewell, Virginia, USA; Nearly Two Yenrs Since He Was charged With Attempting Assult The arrest Sunday of Connor Burress by Pocahontas officers caused considerable talk and comment in Graham yesterday. The charge upon which he was arrested was an alleged assault upon Mrs. Dale Martin nearly two years ago. Soon after the time of the alleged assault the accused left this section and was supposed to be somewhere in Illinois. It seems that for some months he has been coming to the home of his parents near St. Clair and would remain for a short time, but the reports indicate that his coming and going were kept a secret. It had been so long since the assault was supposed to have been made that tho local officers thought the matter had been disposed of. Some weeks ago it appears that a Pocahontas officer asked a Graham official if there was a warrant for Burress, but the Graham officer had no knowledge of such a paper being in existence. It now appears that the matter was taken before the grand jury at a term of court soon after the trouble came up and an indicment was returned against Burress. Saturday the Pocahontas officials phoned to Sergeant Havens that they had Burress and when it was found that there was a indictment against him Officer D. N Matthews went to Pocahontas Sunday and brought the prisoner to Graham and placed him in jail until yesterday afternoon when he was taken to Tazewell and lodged in jail to await trial at the next term of court. From all reports it seems that the defendant was intoxicated at the time he is charged with having attempted to commit the crime. He does not seem to have discussed the merits of the case with his friends in this section. (Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Aug 4, 1911)
• Newspaper: 12 May 1915, Graham, Tazewell, Virginia, USA; The Graham officials rather took the friends of Connor Burress by surprise by taking him to Tazewell Monday in an automobile rather than wait for the Clinch Valley train yesterday morning. It seems that it was the opinion among his friends that he would be held here a day or so and that a chance to procure bond would be given him, but when Sergeant Havens phoned to Commonwealth's Attorney Harman at Tazewell he was told to bring the prisoner to the county jail at once, as an indictment was there charging him with a felony.

Bluefield. Virginia Dear Mrs. Burress: On instructions of Harman Lodge, No. 222, A. F. & A. M.: and by appointment of the Worshipful Master, it is with deep sorrow and yet with full appreciation of the fine qualities of your late husband and our esteemed friend and brother, that we address to you these small and feeble words of regret at his early and untimely death. It seems most fitting that the members of this committee should have been appointed and directed to draft this expression of the regret of members of our lodge, as it was while the first named was Worshipful Master, and the second named an active member of the lodge, that your husband received the degree raising him to the rank of Master Mason. We regarded him as a fine Christian gentleman, one worthy of the esteem and love in which he was held by his Masonic brethren, and for them, each and every one, we send you our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy in this your darkest hour of bereavement. It is ordered that a copy of this letter be spread on the record of our lodge and a copy furnished the newspapers for publication. Wade H. Frazler, W. H. Bane, Committee.
