Steuben County News Service - "Couple Flees Burning Home"
Dairy farmer Shirley Burdett and his wife escaped to safety early yesterday with only the clothese they wore as fire destroyed their two story brick home on Route 70 at Big Creek, about four miles west of Howard. A lapse in telephone service delayed summoning fireman. Temperatures were below zero as Fremont and Howard fireman battled the blaze, finally reported at 6:45AM. A family spokesman said the couple was asleep in the downstairs bedroom and apparently was awakened by the roar of the flames. They got out of the house in their nightclothes through a front entrance, the spokesman said. Nothing was saved from the house, he said. The couple lived there alone. The Burdetts, after fleeing their home, drove to the nearby home of Stanley Drumm. Drumm, a son and son-in-law started for the Burdett place and encountered state police investigating an auto accident on Route 70. The trooper radioed for firefighters. The inside of the house was just one big ball of fire when we got there, said Fremont Fire Chief Richard Smith. He said cuase of the fire and amount of damages were not determined.

HORNELL-Herman M. Davis, 84, of 166 Leach Ave., passed away Saturday evening (Dec. 19, 2009) at Hornell Gardens surrounded by the family he loved so much. Herm took God's hand and peacefully walked away. His family has lost our beloved "Grandpa Herm."

He was born on June 1, 1925 in the town of Howard to Lewis and Mildred Burdett Davis.

Herm lived his entire life in the Hornell area and attended the one room schoolhouse his mother taught in and graduated from Hornell High School in 1942. After graduating from high school, Herm continued working on the family farm on the Big Creek Road in the town of Howard with his father. For many years he also ran a milk route.

On Nov. 14, 1964 Herm married the former Erla McGregor and together they raised five children.

In 1968 he began his employment at the Foster-Wheeler Corp. in Dansville, retiring in 1987 with 19 years of service. After retiring he was employed as guard at the former M-K Corporation in Hornell and later worked as the "handyman" at the former Maple Crest Manor in Hornell where the staff and residents lovingly called him "Mr. D."

Although he had stopped farming many years ago, you could never truly take the farmer out of him. After moving from the farm, for many years he continued to plant a garden there and always enjoyed helping his son, Earl, once he began running the farm again. Herm's love of farming was exceeded only by the love he had for his family.

For many years he was a member of the Big Creek Grange and the Howard Masonic Lodge. He was also a youth fellowship leader at the Big Creek Church and sang in a quartet with his father, his brother, Charles and his uncle, Elmer Burdett.

Herm's soft-spoken nature and gentle spirit made him a friend to all who knew him. He was a treasure to his family and a gift to anyone that knew him. He will be truly missed.

Besides his wife of 45 years, his family includes his five children, Earl (Chris) MacNaughton, Kay (Nathan) Cornell, Carl (Denise) MacNaughton, Laurie (Mike) Whiteman all of Hornell and Jeff (Jessica) Davis of Bath; his 12 grandchildren, Claire (Kevin) White, Shawn and Shad MacNaughton, Andrea (Chris) Muhleisen, Michael Cornell, Matthew and Mitchell MacNaughton, Josh and Madison Whiteman and Eli, Jonas and Catherine Davis; his four great-grandchildren, Arden and Adrianna White and Jaxson and Kenny Muhleisen; his brother, Charles (Laura) Davis of Etna, NY; his sister, Dorothy Smith of Hornell; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by his parents.

At Herm's request there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 23) at the Arkport Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Steven Jewell officiating. Private committal services and interment will be held at the convenience of his family at Rural Cemetery, Hornell.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations in Herm's name be made to either the Hornell Area Humane Society, PO Box 533, Hornell, NY 14843 or to the Arkport Presbyterian Church, PO Box 6, 15 Main St., Arkport, NY 14807.

Our family would like to thank Vicki Burns and the wonderful staff at the Hornell Gardens who so compassionately and lovingly cared for Herm in his final days.

-Artist Statement

The things that I find interesting about painting or what my paintings are about, is not something that I often think about. I just make them. When asked to think about it, I would say they are made of something that did not exist exactly like that before. They are perhaps a rearrangement of the 'ordinary' and 'usual' into another form of reality. A realm where I am willing to release, a spontaneous and intuitive picture of my feelings. If you will, an outward manifestation of those feelings. Probably most people do that when they are dreaming or describing something with great feeling.

My Paintings have evolved over time and now reflect my reactions to nature, pushed beyond, or in a different direction from a purely representational world. I am drawn to paint the forces and material things of nature which I have come to know and respect after many years of direct experience. This knowledge of nature, however seems not to be overtly, conscious when I am doing a painting. In an abstract and metaphorical way, it is more a sense of being a reservoir of energy which enables me to paint what I paint. It is seemingly a motivating force, which like all of nature, is full of image possibilities and offers, in addition, the chance appearances of key elements that go into making an interesting painting, if I am ready at that moment to recognize them and retain them.

I like to paint spontaneously, because it carries the freshness of chance and a deep, sincerity of expression. Plus, I never know for certain where it will lead and that offers real excitement and an element of surprise for me, as well. I work in a flurry of activity followed by periods of sitting and looking at what has just transpired, in contemplation of the next move. There are waves of opportunity, in which to make choices, and perhaps the most difficult moment in painting for me, comes when it's time to say, it is finished and to walk away from it. It takes a lot of doing painting, to know and to recognize, with a feeling of confidence, what that place should look like. I work on that problem regularly. It is the essence of painting.

My work is not intended to be at all linear, in the sense that this statement is a juxtaposition of various symbols. Symbols do appear in my work but they are by chance meeting of lines and images or only because they offer strong visual presence in a particular spot for no particular reason, except for having chosen it. In terms of my painting direction, I continue to work with the hope and goal of reaching my own peculiar level of simplification.

Alan Duncan Munro, recently of Keizer, Oregon lost his long battle with cancer and Alzheimer's disease, on January 30th, 2021. He was born on April 3,1952 in Shelburne, Vermont. He is survived by his loving parents, Alan and Constance "Connie" Munro, long time residents of Juneau, AK. He is also survived by his wife of 37 years, Melanie Munro and their only son Scott, currently of Keizer, Oregon.

He was a loving big brother to his siblings; Donald Munro of Seattle, WA, Peter Munro of Juneau, Carol Munro-Scribner of Pahoa, HI, Jean Munro of Des Moines, WA, and Meg Smith of Palmer, AK. He was preceded in death by his brother, Scott Munro and his life long friend and brother-in-law Frank Nowlin, who introduced him to his wife Melanie, 40 years ago. He also has a myriad of in-laws, outlaws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that he loved dearly! Duncan moved from Vermont, to New York City and then Nashville, TN in 1968, where he lived until he and his wife made the cross country trek to Juneau in 1984. He and his family moved to Oregon in 2010, where he resided until his death.

Duncan retired in 2007, after 22 years with the State of Alaska, starting in Community and Regional Affairs then moving to various positions at Fish and Game, Retirement and Benefits, and retiring at the Department of Labor. He had previously worked at the State of Tennessee for 13 years. While there he made the National Enquirer while attempting to enforce the new Highway Beautification Act and called "a pea brained bureaucrat", which tickled him immensely!

He was proud of his Scottish and Italian heritage. His mother and father were adopted by a loving Tlingit family, Duncan was proud of his Raven culture too. He loved fishing in Alaska! He prided himself on getting his limit each trip. Never had a bad day fishing! He was also interested in local, state and global politics and loved a good debate, especially with his parents! His family loved him dearly and are deeply saddened by his illness and passing. He fought hard for over six years and his family will miss him but are happy his passing was peaceful and faithful.
