ing at five o ’clock at the local hospital,
following a surgical operation, at the
age o f 66 years. •
The funeral was conducted from the
Buxton Undertaking Chapel. Rev. J.
B. Holmes gave the memorial sermon.
The Christian Church choir sang, and

ering at the funeral rites.

Iowa, June 7, 1857, and her maiden
name was Mary Ettie Wayman. In i
1873 she was married to John A. Burk, I

the following children: Mrs. Emma
Russell, Edward, Arthur, Walter and '
Lawrence, in this city, and Alfred and
Alice at home, which is Centerville, \
this countv. She also leaves three j

number of friends to mourn the loss of
a faithful wife, a loving mother and a
kind friend.
