She left a husband and five children to mourn her death. The children are Mrs. Dallas Box; Mrs. Walker England; Mrs. Tom Keeling and Horace and Geo. Higgs, all residents of that vicinity. She had been a member of the Baptist Church all her life, was a true wife, an affectionate mother and an excellent citizen. She was a daughter of the late John Burton and a sister of Jesse Burton, and has some half sisters. The remains were laid to rest in the Burton Family burying ground on the 6th. Funeral services were held at the residence. Mr. Higgs and children will have the sympathy of all their relatives and acquaintances. Cassville Democrat Jan. 16, 1909 - Higgs' Notes |
