Burke Resigns As
County Jailor
After over 22 years service Guy Burke resigned Jan. 31, 1963 as custodian of Rappahannock County jail. Mr. Burke became jailer May 1, 1940. For these many years he and Mrs. Burke have lived at the jail, cared for and fed the numerous inmates who come and go. Mr. and Mrs. Burke moved Thursday to their home “The "Pillbox’’ on Gay St. Ernest Lillard of Washington has accepted the position of custodian, and with his family moved into the building Saturday.
Also missing from the scene on Courthouse Square are the Burke’s two famous white geese (which chased all of the ladies). He moved them Tuesday to their new coop on Gay Street.
Mr. Burke said he went to the postoffice one morning since he has moved and as he left, from force of habit, he headed for the jail. Mr. Burke still reads the water meters for the Town of Washington and continues as courthouse custodian.
