Death of Miss Emmie Burt

Miss Emmie Burt was born and reared in this county midway between Bellview and 
Pleasant Hill at the Burt Homestead.  For more than half a century this dear 
old home was the seat of hospitality and neighborly cheer.

A few years ago she mad her home with her widowed sister, Mrs. Mildred Butts.  
About a year ago the two sisters removed to Marietta, Ga. to live with Mrs. 
Butts daughter, Mrs. Luther Benson, where Miss Burt died on June 18th after 
several years of failing health.  Everything that devoted love could suggest 
or best medical skill could accomplish was done to prolong the life of this 
dear one but all in vain.

Death though inevitable is always sad, but when it takes from us one who has 
grown dearer with each passing year of a lifetime it is doubly distressing.

The death of Miss Emmie Burt brings sorrow to many hearts here in Talbot 
county where she lived so many years and where her name is a synonym of 
Christian greatness and grace.  Her ministering hands have brought comfort and 
cheer to many sick beds and her unfailing sympathy hope to the sorrowing and 
afflicted.  Wherever she went her noble unselfish nature was a proverb among 
her friends.

God bless her precious memory and consecrate it to the eternal good to those 
who love her and bring peace to the stricken hearts of her only sister and 
other near and dear ones who consider her loss irreparable.

She was buried by the side of her father and mother in the family cemetery 
near Woodland.

One Who Loved Her
