BURNS, Isabel WOLFORD - Isabel Wolford was born in Salesville, Ohio March 29, 1831 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Adcock, near Hiwasse, April 2, 1915 at the age of 84 years and 5 days. She was married Dec. 8, 1848 to Samuel Burns, who in the following year made the long trip via South America to California, attracted by the gold rush. During the Civil war they moved with their family from Ohio to Iowa and settled in Wayne Co. There they lived and their family grew up and she saw the pioneer life of the new home give way to prosperity and comfort. She had made her home in Arkansas most of the time the past thirteen years and had been a widow 26 years. Never strong nor robust, her health had gradually failed and she was confined to her bed for nearly two years before her death. Her long pilgrimage on earth is ended and her passing away at a ripe old age seems natural and as intended but we shall miss her and her pleasant smile and her kindly greeting lingers in the memory of those who loved her. She was a Christian. The surviving members of her family in the state are her daughter, Mrs. Adcock, and grandchildren., R.W. and Miss Maude Adcock of Hiwasse and Mrs. Jas. Bank and Miss Letha Adcock of Gravette. G.B. [Gravette News Herald - Gravette, Benton County, Arkansas - April 9, 1915]
