Obituary - Mrs. Geo. W. BURCHAM

Nancy Margaret CLUNY was born near Davis, June 8, 1883 where most of her girlhood days were spent. At the age of 17 years, she united with the Christian Church at Old Alexandria during the revival held by Rev. Hobbs. She was married to Geo. W. BURCHAM December 20, 1903. To this union five children were born, two dying in infancy. Mrs. BURCHAM departed this life February 1, 1927 at her home in Center, after an illness of about a month, although she had been in declining health for the past six years. She was at the time of her death 43 years, 7 months, and 23 days old. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, 3 daughters, Essy May, Bertha Frances, and Nellie Lee; also an aged mother, Mrs. S.F. CLUNE of Davis, 3 sisters, Mrs. J.M. JAMESON, of St. Louis, Mrs. Ira JAMESON, of Moscow Mills, and Miss Florence CLUNY of Camargo, Ill.; 3 brothers, L.H. CLUNY of Moscow Mills, E.E. CLUNY and B.R.

M.D. Dudley at Highland Prairie Union Church. Interment was made in the cemetery at that place. May her soul rest in peace in the eternal city of God, where she is united with those who have gone before her, and where she will await the coming of her loved ones. - M.R.C.
