The news of the death of Miss Birdie DURRETT, daughter of Luke DURRETT, Saturday morning came as a great surprise to our people. She was taken ill Thursday night, but was not considered in a serious condition, but failing to improve a physician was called Saturday, but she died before he reached her.
She was a young woman, but the hand of sorrow had been heavy upon her in the past few years. A little baby niece had been left to her care by the death of its mother, and her own mother, who had been a great sufferer died last season, and the responsibility of the home was born by Birdie. She was the home-maker for her three brothers and father.
The funeral service was held at the home Sunday and the remains were laid to rest in Rawlins cemetery. The Herald extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
