Mrs. John Burrow died last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the home of her son, August Burrow, in this city following an illness of nearly three weeks' duration. She had been a sufferer for some time from rheumatism and of late symptoms of heart trouble appeared, the immediate cause of her death being rheumatism of the heart.
Mrs. Burrow was born at Kientz, Pommerania, Germany, Sept. 21, 1833, and was 75 years old last September.

Decedent was a lady much respected and esteemed by her friends and acquaintances. Her life of industry and perseverance and her devotion to her home and family appealed to those who knew her and her life was one worthy of emulation. In her native country she became a member of the Lutheran church and throughout her life was a consistent and zealous member.
