NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE RANDOLPH LEADER", Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama for SEPTEMBER 1901
NEWSPAPER issue of Wednesday, September 18, 1901
DEATH OF MISS ELLA BURDETT
After many weeks of long and trying illness, this excellent young lady quietly entered the realms of eternal rest and peace at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Until within a few minutes before her death she was conscious and talked to those around her.
The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.D. Burdett and in their home nothing was lacking, in sickness or health, to add to her comfort. And she contriubted her full share toward making bright and happy the home she adorned. All who ever spent even a short while within its portals were impressed with her cheerful disposition and the spirit of unselfish friendship she displayed toward all.
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church of which Miss Burdett was a member, in the presence of a concourse of sympathizing friends. Rev.H.C.Risner delivered a touching discourse. The pall bearers were Joseph and Robert Brown, Leon and Worth Stevenson, Toll Swann and Sam Faucett.
Most gently the beloved sleeper was lowered to her finally resting place, while many are the hearts that mourn. One of the saddest features of this untimely death was the fact that the deceased was to be married next month to
a prominent young attorney of an adjoining state, whose sad privilege it was to be present at the death and burial. To him and all so sorely grieved the Leader joins the entire community in offering sympathy.
