Burges Sr., an attorney, and Bettie Rust. His mother died six days after he was born, and he was raised by his father, his grandmother and his aunt, Nannie.〔(Isaac Maldonado, "Richard Fenner Burges: Renaissance Man," Borderlands, an El Paso Community College Local History Project )〕 He was privately tutored until the eighth grade, when he began studies with a German professor. He attended Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for a year, "where he excelled in rhetoric and oration."〔 In 1898 he was married to Ethel Petrie Shelton, and they had a daughter, Jane (later Perrenot). He died in El Paso on January 13, 1945. His home at 603 West Yandell, was donated by his daughter to the El Paso County Historical Society in 1986. His vast collection of "books, correspondence, photographs, scrapbook, articles, historical paper and other documents" can be examined there. A branch of the city's public library is named in his honor.〔〔
