LEVI B. BURGET

  Levi B. Burget died at his home just east of Martinsburg Monday evening at 
8:30 o'clock, of pneumonia.
  The deceased was the son of Adam and Catherine Bulger Burget and was born 
in North Woodbury township, near Henrietta, July 13th, 1841.  He was united 
in marriage with Mary Ann Smith October 20, 1864, at Martinsburg.  To this 
union six children were born, four daughters and two sons, all of whom, 
together with the wife survive to mourn the departure of a loving husband 
and an ever kind and indulgent father.  The children are Mrs. S. L. Haffly, 
Mrs. M. N. Bridenbaugh, Franklin and Elvin living in or near Martinsburg, 
and Nannie J. Dent, and Mayme living at home.  He is also survived by eight 
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.  Two brothers, Andrew, of 
Fredericksburg, and Adam of Henrietta, also survive.
  Mr. Burget was a lifelong resident of North Woodbury township.  He grew to 
manhood upon his father's farm, near Henrietta, and at the time of his 
marriage to the helpmeet who was to be the sharer of his joys and sorrows 
through a period of fifty-four years, they took up farming on the adjoining 
farm where they resided for many years.  About seven years ago they moved to 
the present home.
  Deceased early in life united with the Mt. Pleasant Reformed church of 
which he was a member at the time of his death.  He was a man of unassuming 
disposition, devoted to his home and family life.  He was industrious and 
content to attend to the affairs of his everyday life.  Mr. Burget was 
esteemed and respected by the people of the community in which he spent his 
life, and lived at peace with all men.
  Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his 
late home, services in charge of his pastor, Rev. E. S. Noll.  Interment in 
Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
