The death of Mrs. Margaret Burrows, 84, wife of Charles Burrows, occurred

Ralph Moore, of Ionia township.  Mrs. Burrows was born July 10, 1852, in
Toronto, Canada, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Flath.  At the age of
two, she moved with her parents to Drayton, Ontario, where she lived until 1887
when she married Charles Burrows.  They moved to Drayton, North Dakota, and
lived there until 1903, at which time they moved to Ionia township where they
have lived ever since.

Mrs. Helena Dales of New Market, Ontario, and Mrs. R.G. Lawlor, of Norwood,
Ontario; three brothers, Dr. A. Flath of Stanley, N.D.; Fred Flath of Pontiac,
and Dr. Everon Flath of Toronto, Canada, and four grandchildren.

Mrs. Burrows has been ill for the past five years and when her condition became
critical she was taken to the home of her daughter.  Her sister, Mrs. Dales, has
been there for the last seven weeks caring for her and was with her last evening
when she died.

Plans had been made for a reunion to be held Sunday, October 4, with all her
brothers and sisters coming to see her.

Mrs. Burrows was an active member of the Methodist church since she joined in
