OBITUARY
Mrs.George W.Burgess
Once more death's icy fingers have visited our community and claimed for it's own Eliza Gertrude,wife of George W.Burgess,of Linn's Mill,aged 28 years,7 months and 17 days.
She was married to George W.Burgess Dec.2,1891.To this union were born four children--three daughters and one son.The little boy and one little girl preceded her to the tomb of infancy.The deceased was stricken down with tyhoid fever Aug.30,1902.Notwithstanding all that medical skill and loving care of her husband,neighbors and friends could do,she rapidly grew worse until Sept.11,at 6 p.m.,she peacefully passed away to the great wprld beyond,where there is no death,no pain or parting,but all is peace,sweet peace and everlasting life,which is a gift from God and God alone.Funeral services were conducted at the home Friday eve,Sept.12,at 4 o'clock,by Rev.Major,of Troy,after which the remains were followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends to the city of the dead and tenderly laid to rest by the side of the two little ones who had gone before,only waiting to join her in that resurrection morn,where we all shall be gathered.She leaves besides her husband,two little girls,Mary and Lillian,a father John Dyke,one sister,three brothers and many other dear relatives and friends to morn her loss.It is true a mother of Israel hath fallen,for she was ever ready to make any sacrifice for her husband and children and was ever ready to lend the helping hand to those in need.She was a kind neighbor,a loving,helpful wife,a devoted mother and a friend to all,and we can say,Peace to her ashes. D.B.
