OBITUARY: Mrs. A. J. Burtch, --1925, Mitchell County, Iowa






                         SAINTLY LADY CALLED HOME
                     Mrs. A. J. Burtch Passed Away at
                         Her Home on North Seventh
                          Street Tuesday Morning

The whole community was saddened Tuesday morning by the news that Mrs. A. J.
Burtch had passed away at 3 o'clock at her late home on north Seventh street,
after an illness of only a little over a week.

Her's was rare, sweet character that blessed all who came in touch with her.
An ideal mother, a neighbor whose ministrations were never sought in vain,
and her church came next in her thoughts-and they, too, are sorely stricken.

She was always at her place in the church service and the Bible school, and
one of the most faithful and consecrated workers in the Women's Mission
society of the Ladies Guild.

Her strongest characteristic, perhaps, was the kindliness of her attitude
toward everyone, never criticizing, but always looking for the best in them.

She is survived by her three children -- Mrs. Ray Hudson, Charles and Judson
Burtch.

Funeral services will be held at the home Friday afternoon at 2:30,
conducted by Rev. Koster, and interment will be in our local cemetery.
