Pioneer at Rest.
Mrs. H.B. Burritt, wife of Justice Burritt, of our village, and one of our oldest settlers, passed away at her home Monday morning at 2 o’clock at the advanced age of 84 years, having lived to celebrate her 62nd wedding anniversary a few weeks ago, and little thought that the reaper death would soon call her to eternal home. Mrs. Burritt, although at this advanced age, attended to her household duties until about one week before her death.
Her death, while not wholly unexpected, came as a shock to the entire community. Mrs. Burritt, whose maiden name was Julia Ann Ford, was born in the state of Vermont, and having acquired a good education, after coming to Illinois was engaged in teaching for some years. On the 31st day of March, 1839, she was united in marriage to Mr. Burritt. Their union was blessed with seven children - four sons and three daughter. Their oldest son died in childhood, Olive is the wife of J.S. Pratt and resides at Spear Fish, S.D.; Reed, who resides in Glenwood Springs, Col., owns a ranch and is engaged in the butchering business; Fred D. died at the age of 7 years; Flora E. was the wife of Chas H. Lines, deceased, and resides at Barrington; Laura Ella is the wife of Everett O. Joslyn of Seneca, Ill., and Fred R. is married and makes his home in Delto county, Col., where he owns a ranch. The funeral was held from the Baptist church, of which the deceased was a member, at 1:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. Dutton officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Wauconda cemetery.
