Mrs. T.B. Burnett passed away at her home southeast of town Tuesday morning. Being quite unexpected, it was a great shock to all of us. She, in company with Mrs. Harry Broughton, called on Mrs. Kessinger Friday afternoon and enjoyed a pleasant visit. She was taken ill that night and the family physician, Dr. Michener, was called. Inasmuch as she was subject to such attacks for the past few years, it was thought that she would so on be up
again. More serious symptoms developed Tuesday morning and before her friends could realize it, she was dead.
Elizabeth Lightfoot, was born in Wayne County, Ohio, February 19, 1844. With her parents, she moved to Cedar County, Iowa in 1856. She was married to T.B. Burnett, October 16, 1868. They resided on a farm in that locality until 1876 when they moved to southern Kansas and established the present home. Two daughters, Alice LaVerne and Ester Ruhama were born to this union, and they with their families unite with their father, in sorrow for the gentle and loving mother and faithful wife. In early life she united with the Presbyterian church and exemplified in her life the spirit of the Master.
The funeral was conducted in the home, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the writer, attended by a very large assemblage of neighbors and friends. Interment took place in Mulvane cemetery. Members of the family present at the funeral home were the husband and daughters, Mrs. John Newton and family of this place, and Mrs. Charley Foudray and family of
Beaumont; a brother, Mr. Luke Lightfoot, of Guthrie, Oklahoma; and two
sisters, Mrs. Ida Williams and daughter, Bessie, of Eddy, Oklahoma, and Mrs.
Mollie Farnsworth and husband of Arkansas City.
