At the stroke of 12, mid-night, on Wednesday of last week Mrs. Carrie Walter

Obituary

Carrie Walter Burns, daughter of Malachi and Phila Burns, was born in Wichita, 
Sedwick county, Kansas, June 17, 1873, and died at mid-night Aug. 14, 1929, at 
the age of 56 years, 1 months and 28 days.

At the age of two she came with her parents to Michigan where they settled on a 
farm in west Odessa, now known as the Howard Klahn farm.  She lived there until 
she was united in marriage to Wilbur Walter, Sept. 28, 1892.  To this union 
were born two children, Clifford Walter, now living east of Lake Odessa and 
Elgie Curtis who lives northwest of Lake Odessa, at whose residence she has 
made her home the past two years until her death.

On June 24, 1927, she was suddenly taken with a stroke of paralysis from which 
she rallied and partially regained her health.  On July 18, 1929, she was again 
stricken by the same affliction and lived until the Lord called her away.

She was a kind and loving mother and will be greatly missed.  She leaves two 
children, seven grandchildren, and two sisters Mrs. Bessie Healey of Pontiac 
and Mrs. Jennie Russell of Lake Odessa besides many sorrowing friends to mourn 
her departure.
