Obituary
Priscilla Ellen Gordon was born in Park [e] County, Indiana, February 24, 1846, and departed this life at her home in Blockton, Iowa, June 25, 1928, aged 82 years, 4 months and 1 day.
November 11, 1867, she was united in marriage to Francis Marion Burton in Bureau County, Illinois. To this union eight children were born, six girls and two boys.
About ten years after their marriage they moved to Taylor County, Iowa, where they have made their home for the past 44 years.
Mrs. Burton is survived by her husband, four daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Owen, of San Francisco, Calif.; Mrs. Eva Beaty, of Omaha, Neb.; Mrs. Della Bash, of Kansas City, Mo.; and Mrs. Nellie Ramsay, of Nichols, Ia., and one son, E. [dward] G. [ranville] Burton, of Kansas City, Mo.
She was preceded in death by two daughters, Miss Nettie Burton, who died April 9, 1890, and Mrs. Cora Whitcomb, who passed away March 7, 1922, and one son, William, who died in infancy.
When a young woman she joined the Baptist church in Bureau County, Illinois. After coming to Blockton the family became affiliated with the Baptist church here and about 24 years ago with the Christian Church.
Mrs. Burton's loving and Christian character has made for her a host of very close and dear friends in and about Blockton. They will miss her loving presence very much.
Words cannot express the deep sorrow of her children and husband, who have always cherished the love, devotion, and service that their mother and wife bestowed upon them. She was to them, the dearest of all mothers on earth.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church Wednesday afternoon, June 27, conducted by Rev. E. B. Osborn, of New Market and a former pastor of the Blockton Baptist church, assisted by Rev. C. Max Buck, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.
[Note: Illinois Statewide Marriage Index gives the marriage date as November 12, 1867.]
