At 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon May 13, 1910, after an illness of four months, during which she was a most patient sufferer, death came peacefully to Mrs. Harriett J. Burton, one of the pioneers of the township of Chemung. Mrs. Burton was a native of New York, her birthplace being Springfield, Otsego County, and the date October 22, 1828. She, being an only child, came west with her parents in the early forties and was united in marriage to Billings Burton in 1844. Three sons and nine daughters survive her.
