Sister Burgess was born December 23, 1875. Died August 10, 1896. She professed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church at Hopewell, September 8, 1894, where she lived a consistent Christian life up to her death. While we mourn the loss of our sister we know the all wise and loving father has taken her to a brighter home, where sin can never enter. The sickle of death has cut down the purest, brightest flower to be transplanted in a happier world to bask in the sunshine of God's love.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given;
And thought the body moulders here,
The souls is safe in heaven.
