Daughter of Linsey Mabrey Burney and Mary Ann Thompson.
Wife of John Hudson Short.
Elizabeth Short (20391794)
The Lineville Headlight, April 30, 1909
Another Citizen Passes Away.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Short, nee Burney, died at her home five miles north of
Lineville Friday night April 23, 1909. Had she lived to the 26th of August
next she would have been 65 years old.
In her 15th year she was happily married to John H. Short. November 13th next
would have been the 50th anniversary of their union.
She professed religion and united with the M. E. Church, South, in her eleventh
year. The esteem in which she was held by those who knew her was attested by a
large congregation coming through a cold continuous rain to attend the funeral
service.
Rev. H. T. McKay paid a touching tribute to the memory of the deceased when he
said, "She was a Christian. We have been neighbors for forty years and there
was never an unkind word between us, and I never heard her speak evil of any
one."
A good woman has gone to make one more in the happy band of those who sing the
Savior's praise.
Additional Comments:
Elizabeth Burney Short is buried at Oak Grove Methodist Church, along with many
of her descendants.
