Died, Mrs. Josephine, wife of Edward Burt, of Harrison Township, on Sunday, February 13, 1898.
About 10 o'clock, Mrs. Burt was preparing to go to church and her husband had gotten the horse and buggy ready for her, when one of the children came out and told him mother was sick. Mr. Burt went into the house and found her very sick and vomiting. He immediately sent to Londonderry for Dr. Motter, but medical aid was of no avail, as she breathed her last at 2 o'clock, after an illness of only four hours. The immediate cause of death was paralysis.
Mrs. Burt had for some time been afflicted with heart trouble, and it is the general opinion that at least two or three times in the past, when attacked by that disease, she could not have possibly survived had she not been the recipient of most careful and kind treatment at the hand of a devoted husband, who kept remedies at hand and rendered every assistance in his power. had she been neglected she could not have possibly recovered, and the husband has the consolation of knowing he has done all in his power to make her life as long and pleasant as possible.
The husband and seven children survive her. Mrs. Burt possessed all the qualities of a good woman, was kind and affectionate in her family, hospitable to all, and a devoted Christian. The family have the sincere sympathy of all their neighbors.
