John Dale Burman, son of Paul and Blanche (Fouch) Burman was born on June 18, 1926 in Paton, Iowa. Dale received his education in the Boxholm area and graduated from Lanyon High School in Lanyon, Iowa.

On June 18, 1947, Dale was united in marriage to Lucille Ott in Boxholm, Iowa. The couple resided and farmed near Boxholm until 1987. After retiring from farming they built a house in Ogden and spent time in Arizona in the winter. Lucille passed away on December 28, 1995.
