Burke was born August 23, 1917, at Ocheydan, Iowa, the son of Clarence and Millie (Zenker) Lambourn. They came to ND in 1925 and rented a place until 1927. His parents purchased the farm 8 miles west of Amidon. Burke graduated from Bowman High School in 1935. After graduation he worked in Idaho pulling logs with a team of horses then came back to work on the family ranch. He was called to military duty and served for 2 years. He was married to Myrtle Bahm on June, 1942 at her parent's ranch. On their wedding day, Burke and Myrtle had to drive to Marmarth to pick up the minister and take him home after the ceremony because the minister couldn't drive a car.
