Burge, died at the home of her son, 417 North Neosho, at 9 o'clock this morning. She had been ill but four days. There apparently was no suffering during her last illness. She retired early last Wednesday night, tired and worn out. She was unalbe to leave her bed Thursday and on Friday passed into a coma from which she never rallied. As the hours passed she became weaker until the end came this morning. Mrs. Burge would have been 78 years old on the last day of December. Her son, S. A. Burge and her daughter, Mrs. Mary Knoblock, came to her bedside from Burlington on Christmas day. The son returned home yesterday, but the daughter remained.
