"Mrs Burgett Dies Suddenly
Mrs. Burgett, wife of H.A. Burgett, recently of this place, fell dead on the street at Antonito early Wednesday morning from a stroke of heart failure. The couple left here Tuesday following their auction sale Monday and were going to California. They remained overnight at Antonito, it appears, and were to take the train south from there.
