MRS. ANGELINE J. BURT.
Mrs. Angeline J. Burt died at her home at 219 South Sixth street late Thursday afternoon. She has been sick for the past five years with heart trouble, but the end came without any warning. Mrs. Burt was in apparently the best of health all Thursday morning, and her sudden attack and subsequent death came as a shock to all.
Mrs. Burt has been a resident of Burleigh county for twenty-seven years, and held the respect and esteem of all who knew her. Her husband died seven years ago. She is survived by two sons, Peter and Weymouth of Bismarck, and by one daughter, Mrs. Fred Seims, also of this city. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved relatives.
Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock from the family residence. Burial will be made in the Glencoe cemetery.

**************************
For their 1870 US Census, she, as Adaline, age 24, and her first husband, Chas. D. Weymouth, age 25, a harness maker, lived in St. Charles, a small town in Winona County, Minnesota, with their two small sons, William and Frank, ages 3 and 1. Both boys were born in Wisc., so their move to Minn. had been recent. The boys' full names were William Henry and Charles Frank, but their parents called them Henry and Frank , using just their middle names. Julia Adaline believed or guessed that her birthplace was Penn., her husband's, as Maine.

Their 1880 US Census found them next-door, in Olmsted County, in the larger city of Rochester. Not much had changed, only that they were all a decade older and that she had spoken to someone, so learned her birthplace was actually Ohio.

Shortly before her death in 1912, she would again be counted with both sons, so we know it's them. She was called by her first name this time, as Julia, her married name changed to Burt, the house hold headed by the now-married William H., in Bismarck, N.D. The men may have been out of the house, as whoever answered the census-taker's knock, maybe a grandchild, maybe the daughter-in-law, did not know Julia Adaline's age or birthplace.

Her son William married in Montana, his birthplace given as Markesan, Wisconsin giving her full maiden name then as Julia Adeline Foster.

Her first spouse , Chas., was found with with his parents, Robert and Susan, with multiple siblings, in Green Lake, Green Lake County, Wisconsin. It was their 1860 US Census, the last before the Civil War.
Her second husband, a Mr. Burt, has a first name not yet found in the obvious records.

In the year of the big cyclone that killed so many in Rochester, 1883, her first husband died. However, his death had not been as quick as those of most cyclone victims, as "consumption" (TB) was instead his cause. A harness maker, like a shoemaker, could do his work sitting, could have have family help, so it was suited to his illness. Tuberculosis was a disease that often impoverished the family, due to the inability of victims to work as ardently when sick. A common affliction back in his native New England, the graves of infected families were often left without lasting markers, as the stonework was too expensive.

His name was given as Chas. A, with a column on the right side (giving his cause of death) easier to search amidst the cyclone victims. ("Cyclone" was their word for what we would call a tornado):
