Mrs. Irwin Huntington Burton died at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Irwin, Oakleigh, George street, at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Burton had not been well since the death of her first child. She was greatly grieved when the infant died, and from this grief may be dated the commencement of the illness which terminated when she joined her first-born. A second child, born recently, remains as a consolation to her husband, Harry C. Burton.
Mrs. Burton was born in New Orleans and her relatives include a sister in this city, another sister in Denver, Col., and Mrs. T. K. Irwin is a cousin. those bereaved by Mrs. Burton's death have the sympathy of innumerable friends in this and other cities, deceased being very widely known in her lifetime through poetic and prose contributions to Southern newspapers. She was a dainty little woman, impulsive in her sympathy, poetic by nature and gifted with a personal charm and magnetism that delighted her friends. At various times, through the business demands of Mr. Burton, she resided at Moss Point and Meridian, Miss., and at Birmingham, Ala. and she endeared herself to a large number in each city.
Mrs. Burton's first effort in literature was a book of poems published under the nom de plume of "Frances Irwin." The verses had appeared from time to time in magazines and newspapers and the collection in book form was complimented by Southern newspapers, the volume displaying the femininity of the author in its sentimental delicacy.
The work in which Mrs. Burton took most pride was "For the Honor of the King," published in the early part of last year. Beneath the secular title the author wove a deeply religious romance portraying the life of a former pastor of the Catholic church at Meridian, whose death was deplored by all denominations in that city. Through her illness Mrs. Burton was compelled to stop work on another study from life which she had hoped to publish.
Mrs. Burton did not gain the distinction in literature which brings financial reward, but she communicated brightness to her surroundings and gave an example of patient effort worthy of emulation. With the sorrow that her death brings, there is the regret that she did not live to reach the goal of popular favor she earnestly strived to attain.

MRS. HENRY C. BURTON -- MOBILE, ALA.
This community was shocked yesterday when the announcement of the death of Mrs. Frances Huntington Burton, wife of Mr. Henry C. Burton, was received from their home at Mobile, Ala.
Mrs. Burton was generally known as Mrs. "Birdie" Huntington and was admired and beloved by hosts and hosts of friends and acquaintances. She was a native of Natchez and, though young in years, she had won a most enviable name in the world of literature, having written several interesting works, and filling the position of society editress of the Meridian (Miss.) Evening Star.
Her literary work was a labor of love, but her domestic tastes and the great number of her friends prevented a complete development of her rare talent in this direction.
Among the notable works from her pen, and which attracted more than ordinary attention were "The Wife of the Sun" and "For the Honor of the King." the latter being a history of the life work of the lamented Father Valley, of Meridian.
Mrs. Burton was a daughter of the late Benjamin and Eliza Wade Huntington. She was married to Mr. Henry C. Burton, a prominent lumberman, of England, in Natchez, seven years ago. For the last three years they have resided in Mobile, where she died yesterday morning of heart disease.
She leaves her husband and a baby girl three weeks old. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Howard, of Denver, Colo., and Miss Zelia Huntington, the latter was with her at the time of her death.
She was a sweet, gentle-dispositioned little woman of a noble Christian character, and with a heartfelt solicitude for the welfare of all mankind.
No information as to whether her remains will be brought to Natchez for interment has been received.
