The Lineville Headlight, April 30, 1909
Another Citizen Passes Away.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Short, nee Burney, died at her home five miles north of 
Lineville Friday night April 23, 1909.  Had she lived to the 26th of August 
next she would have been 65 years old.

In her 15th year she was happily married to John H. Short. November 13th next 
would have been the 50th anniversary of their union.

She professed religion and united with the M. E. Church, South, in her eleventh 
year.  The esteem in which she was held by those who knew her was attested by a 
large congregation coming through a cold continous rain to attend the funeral 
service. 

Rev. H. T. McKay paid a touching tribute to the memory of the deceased when he 
said, "She was a Christian.  We have been neighbors for forty years and there 
was never an unkind word between us, and I never heard her speak evil of any 
one."

A good woman has gone to make one more in the happy band of those who sing the 
Savior's praise.

Additional Comments:
Elizabeth Burney Short is buried at Oak Grove Methodist Church, along with many 
of her descendants.
