MRS. BURNS DEAD
Estimable Woman Passes
Across the Great Divide
Mrs. Fannie W. Burns, wife of Frank Burns, died Monday night after a long and painful illness stretching over many months. Despite all efforts made to accomplish her recovery, she became slowly worse, and all hopes of prolonging her life ceased on the part of relatives and friends several weeks ago. Shortly after she first became ill, she was taken to Boise and placed under the care of the best physicians of that place, but gained no relief. She was brought home and everything possible done for her here by devoted friends and relatives. Her disease had been baffling to the most of the physicians attending her, some called it Bright's disease and others thought it possible a cancerous growth was on the brain ------UNREADABLE ------ several weeks ago, she lost her eyesight and became totally blind.
Mrs. Burns was born February 22, 1865, being 38 years of age at the time of her demise. She was married to Frank Burns at Boise in 1890, residing there for one year when they came to Nampa, where they have since lived. The deceased was a member of the Methodist Church, belonged to the local Rebekah Lodge and the Order of the Royal Neighbors, in which she had an insurance policy. She leaves beside her husband, six small children, the eldest being 12.
The funeral took place from the Methodist Church at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the services conducted by Rev. Mower. Beautiful flowers were in profusion and it was one of the most largely attended funerals in Nampa, which was a token of the very high regard in which the deceased was held in the community.
