Pat Burling was a Spearfish Lake resident, a veteran of "D" Battery.

He was a Deputy Sheriff at the time of the 1955 polio outbreak.FK15

Allowing for discrepancies between The West Turtle Lake Club and other stories, this is possibly the same person as Pat Berlin, who had been in D Battery and was a deputy in 1954 when Sheriff Anthony Herman attempted to raid the West Turtle Lake Club. Following Herman's failure to get a warrant for the raid and having to leave the county, Pat was appointed to fill out the term and was subsequently elected sherrif. He held the job until he retired.WTLC32
