    • Winterbourne

      Obituary - Mrs. Robt. Burnett, an aged resident of this district, passed away on the 17th inst. Deceased who was 87 years old enjoyed good health up to three weeks ago. About that time she fell breaking her thigh bone and this together with a later attack of la grippe proved too much for a constitution already enfeebled by age. The remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery on Thursday.
