James Craig Burnham, 71, machinist at Koppers Co.
James Craig Burnham, who had been a machinist and supermarket clerk, died of cancer Sunday at his Mount Washington home. He was 71. The lifelong Baltimorean attended Calvert Hall College high school and worked as a clerk at a Mount Washington supermarket from the early 1940s until he joined the Navy in 1943 during World War II. After he was discharged in 1947, he returned to the supermarket and worked there until 1956, when he joined the old Koppers Co. in Southwest Baltimore as a machinist. He was a member of the Catholic War Veterans, the Holy Name Society and the Roman Catholic Shrine of the Sacred Heart, 5800 Smith Ave. in Mount Washington, where a Mass of Christian burial will be offered at 10: 30 a.m. tomorrow.
He is survived by his wife, the former Dorothy Welsh, whom he married in 1957; three sons, William F. Burnham and Martin J. Burnham, both of Baltimore, and James C. Burnham Jr. of Philadelphia; a daughter, Mary A. Cutter of Baltimore; and two grandchildren.
