After months of suffering
Mrs. Elizabeth Burnett passed away on Thursday morning at the home
of her nephew, John G. Burnett.
The deceased was born in
England and came to Canada with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Sandham, when she was very young. They settled in Goshen and were
among the early pioneers of Middleton.
She was twice married, her
first husband being Nelson Anger, and after his death she married
John Burnett, who predeceased her a number of years ago.
Mrs. Burnett was 83 years of
age and was the last of eight children.
The funeral took place on
Saturday from her late residence and was conducted by Rev. J. W.
Silcox, assisted by Rev. H. D. Moore.
The pall-bearers were six
nephews, Will Burnett,
W. P. Ronson, Alex, Edgar, W. A., and Aquilla Sandham. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful. The interment was made in the
Baptist Cemetery.
