+Donald Samuel Burgess Born: 5/30/1913
in Panora, IA Father: Samuel Burgess Mother:
Ruby Burgess Married: 3/11/1933 in Panora, Ia.
Donald was the fifth and last child in his family. He attended Guthrie
County High School. When Don graduated high school he asked to
be the last student to receive his diploma so he could be the last person
to ever receive a diploma from the school under the name of Guthrie County
High School. After that year, 1931, the school was renamed
Panora High School. That fall Don enrolled at Iowa State College at
Ames. He had only attended one semester when the bank
at Panora went broke and he had to go to work. (These were The Great
Depression years.) During the summers of 1930, 31 and 32 Don attended
Citizens Military Training School in Des Moines. He married his wife,
Gwendolyn Culver, in 1933 so did not attend that fourth year.
(Had he done so he would have been called to service in
World War II. Instead, since he was farming, he received a deferred
rating. Donald farmed for forty years and, during the last
nineteen of those years also worked in Des Moines. He retired in 1975.
