Obituary in The ELLENDALE EAGLE, Thursday, November 19, 1903, Vol. III, No. 35
Mrs. John Burnes. The sad news was announced Tuesday of the death of Mrs. John Burnes, which occured at six o'clock that morning at her home at Beaver Lake. Mrs. Burnes had been an invalid for a great many years. She suffered a disease which baffled the most skilled physicians to name. The worst symptom was difficulty in swallowing when taking food, which increased from year to year till at last an opertion was necessary to provide a means to introduce food to the stomach artificially. This was performed at the Rochester hospital a year ago last March (1902), a silvertube being paced in the patient's side and since that time she has taken food by none other than this means. Mrs. Burnes has borne her affliction cheerfully. She was an intensely devout woman and took a great deal of comfort in contemplating the future existence which the Master had promised to such as she. Surrounded by children and her husband, who tenderly smoothed the pathway of existence more thoughtfully, with greater love, as each year drew it nearer to the end, her life was made as pleasant as her misfortune would allow. An autopsy was held by Drs. Andrist, Bahcelder and Adair and it was found that no organic disease existed, the trouble being from paralysis of some nerves of the throat. The deceased leaves behind her husband, seven children: Edward of North Dakota and J.S., Thomas, John Jr., William, Maggie, and Annie of this place; five brothers: Peter Hughes of Harvard, Ill., and Thomas, John B., Edward, and Michael Hughes of Tyndall, S. D.; one sister, Mes Tessie Seville, who lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The funeral was held from St. Aiden's church, Bath, today at 10 o'clock a.m., Rev. Fr. Fox officiating. Kate Hughes was born in Hartland, Ill., Nov. 20, 1849. From there she moved with her parents to Harvard, Ill. In that city she was married Feb 26, 1874 to Mr. John Burnes, and they at once left for Berlin, Steele county, Minn., where Mr. Burnes had perpared a home, and here she was living at the time of her death.
