I am looking for information about Franklin Buren and his father, William Henry Buren. Franklin owned a music shop in Tampico and his father William died in Tampico but I can't find an obituary for him.

Thank you so much. I found a picture of an advertisement for Franklin Buren, Optition and Jeweler in the historic photos on your website so there must be something about his store somewhere. I don't know what it was published in.

It looks like his store was a little bit of everything. Here are a few articles in our Tampico Tornado newspaper about him:
Music for the 1905 graduation was furnished by the Orchastra, Clio Quartette, A. E. Wimmer (solo), Mrs. Wiliams (Sign Singing), Misses Wylie and West (duet), and F. F. Buren (cornet solo).
Gossip Column, Tampico Progress, Dec. 21, 1905
REMEMBER, I can fit eyes, will test your eyes free of charge and if glasses are not entirely satisfactory after a few days trial will replace them with a new pair or refund your money. Call at P. O. Building. - Frank F. BUREN

Gold molded records and the famous EDISON phonographs for sale at F.P.[sic] BUREN.
April 12, 1907
F.F. BUREN sold William SHERE a fine piano this week which was presented by Mr. SHERE to his daughters. Mr. BUREN sold the piano in direct competition with two out-of-town firms and was considerably under their price, again demonstrating that Tampico merchants if given a chance will always make as good prices and often better than an outside firm.
