Notes:

Note:
Richard T. Burrell was reared on his father's farms in Holt and Grove townships and in the acquirement of an education attended the district schools and the public schools of St. Joseph, Missouri. After putting aside his text-books he devoted his attention to general farming interests in Taylor county for a period of eight years, and now owns a tract of three hundred and thirty-three acres in Phillips county, Colorado. On retiring from the work of the fields, he edited and published the Gravity Independent at Gravity, Iowa, and subsequently studied law for three years under the preceptorship of A. D. Harris, of Gravity, and Flick & Jackson, of Bedford. On the 9th of October, 1902, in Des Moines, he was admitted to the bar before the supreme court, making an average of ninety-two per cent on all questions asked. He at once began practicing in Gravity and was prominently identified with the legal interests of that town until August, 1906, when he formed a partnership with L. T. McConn and removed (page 361) to Bedford, where he has since prosecuted his profession as a member of the firm of McConn & Burrell. The zeal with which he has devoted his energies to his profession, the careful regard evinced for the interests of his clients and an assiduous and unrelaxing attention to all the details of his cases, have brought him a large business and made him very successful in its conduct. He owns a commodious and attractive home in Bedford and has also invested to some extent in real estate in Gravity.
