"Harlan was born September 16, 1918, in Avondale, WV, a son of the late Harvey "Harry" Burroughs and Cora Roberts Burroughs. Harlan was a veteran of World War II, having served in the Army, and was stationed at the Panama Canal. After returning home he married the love of his life Dora Evelyn Toler and began a family. He worked for the Norfolk & Western Railroad for many years before joining his wife in the family business, a small grocery store at Avondale. They ran the store in Avondale for nearly 40 years before retiring in 1977. He spent many happy days throughout later years busy at this hobby, running his antique Frick Steam Engine and grinding corn each fall with his grist mill. Mr. Burroughs was a life-long member of the Protestant Episcopal Church; serving many years on the vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at Avondale and St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Welch. He was the last surviving member of his original family.

"In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his wife for 70 years, Dora Evelyn Toler Burroughs; one son, Gary Douglas Burroughs; his only sister Lillie Scaggs; a son-in-law, Elder Steve Horn; his grandfather Robert Burroughs; and one aunt, Verrina Burroughs.

"Survivors include two daughters, Ruth Dudding and husband Charles of Bluewell, WV, and Judy C. Horn of Iaeger, WV; three sons, Roger Burroughs and wife Sharon of Nashville, TN, Ronald Burroughs and wife Dean of Bluefield, WV, and Paul Burroughs and wife Wanda of Iaeger, WV.; a special niece, Dorothy Hagy of Daytona Beach, FL, great nieces Carolyn Sue Fitton of Daytona Beach, FL and Jewell Hagy-Ingramm of Cleveland, OH; eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. He is also survived by three special companions, his cats, Fluff, Tippi, and Spock.
