Sallie Ann Edwards, daughter of Martin Edwards and Malinda, his wife, was born Nov 15, 1855 and departed this life May 9 1928 making her stay on earth 72 years, 5 months and 24 days. She was married to Isaac Burnett March 9, 1871 and to this union was born 16 children; 8 living and 8 preceding her to the grave.
She was a kind mother, a good wife and a helpful neighbor, especially helpful in sickness always doing what she could to relieve her neighbor. She would divide her means with the unfortunate.
A mother who stood by her family as any true woman should. Working hard with whatever means she had, she did what she could.
In her last days she seemed to realize the end of her journey was near at hand and spoke of her children who had gone on before of coming to meet her and of wanting to be ready to greet them when they came. She spoke of seeing a beautiful Christmas tree.
She bore her afflictions with great fortitude. A wife, a mother, a neighbor, a friend is gone.
