As a cabin boy on a whaler at the age of 13, Burr with the rest of the crew, was icebound in the Bering sea off Alaska for two years.

Returning to the states he joined the United States navy, and for 13 years previous to his retirement in December, 1930, was chief machinist mate. During his service Mr Burr was stationed for four years in China.

A resident of Miami, Florida, for the past two years and a member of the fleet naval reserve of Charleston, he is survived by his widow, Mrs Willie Mims Burr; a son, Warren Jr., and a daughter, Lorraine, of Boston, Mass; a stepson Charles Dickson, and a stepdaughter, Mrs Violette Bailey/Batley? of Miami.

Mr Burr was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. His body will be brought to Charleston for funeral services and nterment. The arrrangements will be announced later by Stuhr's funeral home.
