Death of Mrs. Burkart.

Last Saturday morning, at 11:25 o'clock, the soul of Mrs. Annie Moritz, wife 
of Capt. Casimer Burkart, an old and respected citizen of this town, left 
its tenement of clay and winged its flight to its eternal rest in the 
glorious realms above. She was 61 years, 11 months and 5 days old at the 
time of her death and had been ill for five weeks prior to the sad event. 
About two weeks ago she had recovered sufficiently to be able to sit up and 
move about the room, when a fire occurred in the home of her nearest 
neighbor and the shock she sustained from the excitement again prostrated 
her and she never recovered from it.

She was a kind-hearted, charitable, Christian woman and was loved and 
esteemed by all who knew her. Where there was sickness, sorrow or want, 
there she was found ministering to the afflicted, soothing the sorrow-
stricken heart and playing the role of the good Samaratan (sic). Distance 
nor time nor weather made no difference to her. Where a friend or fellow 
creature was in trouble or pain, there would she go and linger until the 
aching head or limbs had been eased or until the burdened heart had been 
relieved. Such as her are met with now and then. They are the noblest of 
God's creatures; angels on earth; laboring in the interest of humanity; 
doing the bidding of the Master. Surely of such must be the kingdom of 
heaven. She leaves a devoted husband, five daughters, two sons and seven 
grandchildren to mourn her loss, and to them, in this sad hour of 
affliction, we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
