Thomas Burke (1849-1925) was born in Clinton County, New York, of Irish descent. He studied law and became the city attorney for Marshall, Michigan.

He also worked in the railroad business, establishing a railroad with Daniel H. Gilman. The railroad they built was called the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railway. Judge Burke stood up for racial tolerance during anti-Chinese riots in 1886. He was married to Caroline E. McGilvra.
