Debbie,
I have a book of abstracts of death notices from The Macon Beacon. Page 51 has this abstract: "29 Feb 1908 - John Burrows died Feb 19 at Lynn Creek. Born in Illinois 19 Feb 1839, surv. by wife and two adult sons."
I believe the complete obit is in the Chancery Clerk's office in Noxubee County.
