MRS BURGOYNE EARLY PIONEER DIES SUDDENLY
Only sister of Hon. A.R. Potts, Rural
Ill only two days - the end was peaceful
Mrs Elizabeth Burgoyne died at her home on High Street, this city, just before noon, Monday, March 1, after an illness of less than three days.
Deceased attended the M.E. Ladies' Aid at the home of Mrs S.W. Johnson, Friday afternoo and there remarked that she had never felt better. Miss Avis Johnson called Saturday morning and found her ill and called a physician and Mrs R.E. Drazure. When the latter came she called her parents, Mr and Mrs A.R. Potts of Rural, who came at once and the latter remained to care for the patient who suffered during Saturday and Sunday, but seemed better Monday and was about the house only an hour before the end.
Elizabeth I. Potts, daughter of the late Andrew and Catherine (Bull) Potts, was born in Woolwich, eight miles from London, England, Feb 6, 1859. The family immigrated to America in 1863, and that year took up residence at Rural on the homestead which was the birthplace, and is still the home of her only brother, Hon. A.R. Potts and family.
Securing an education in the schools of pioneer days, the subject of this sketch taught school for a time and then remained at home until the time of her marriage, Sept 15, 1891, when her husband, the late John Burgoyne, she came to reside in Waupaca.
Before her marriage, deceased was an active member of Rural Presbyterian Church, but on coming to reside in Waupaca, she became a member of the Methodist Church, this city. Her faithfulness to the church, her loyalty in the Sunday school and her liberality in foreign missionary work will cause her to be greatly missed by those who know her in her church activities.
In May 1917, she was left a widow and since that time she spent much time in serving the children of her acquaintance including her little grandnieces and nephews.
The funeral was set for this Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at the residence, Rev F.C. Richardson officiating. Interment will be in Lakeside Cemetery beside the resting place of her husband.
