(The Pagosa Springs Sun March 4, 1931) Mrs. Amelia Burster. Hosts of friends in Archuleta county were sorrowed this week to learn of the death of Mrs. Amelia Burster of Piedra, who passed away in a Durango hospital Sunday evening following an extended illness. The remains were brought to Pagosa Springs Wednesday and the funeral services conducted yesterday afternoon at the M. E. church by Rev. G. S. Hatcher, who read the following splendid obituary: Mrs. Amelia Burster was born in eastern Kansas June 13 1864 and died in Durango, Colorado, Feb. 28, 1932, at the age of 67 years, 8 months and 15 days. She was married in 1880 to Otto Burster at Ft. Madison, Iowa, and came to Colorado in 1886, settling in the south eastern part of the state. Thence in 1890, with her family she came to Archuleta county, locating on the Piedra River, where whe had lived ever since. Her husband, Otto Burster passed away during the influenza epidemic of 1918. Her children consisted of three sons and one daughter, Ernest, Carl and Bonnie Burster and Mrs. Chas. Leavell, all of whom live in the community of the old parental home. Mrs. Burster was noted for her open hospitality and sympathy and helpfulness for the sick and needy. In a quiet, unassuming way she went about in her acts of mercy whenever and wherever there was a call for help. Of late years, on account of declining health, she had been compelled to desist from outside activities. She rests from her labors and her works do follow her. .
