ELIAS BURKET DIES AT HIS HOME IN HENRIETTA, BLAIR COUNTY

  At 12.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon Elias Burket died at the Mineral 
Spring hotel, at Henrietta, of which he was proprietor, after an 
illness of two months.  His death, however, was sudden.  He was 66 
years of age and is survived by his wife, two sons and four daughters, 
F. S. and Elinor being residents of this city.
  The deceased was a member of company E, Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania 
volunteers.  He was seriously wounded at the battle of 
Chancellorsville, and from the effects he never fully recovered.  He 
was a member of the Church of God at Henrietta, an honest, upright, 
Christian man and held in high esteem by the community in which he 
spent the greater part of his life.
  The funeral will take place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, services 
being held in the bethel at Henrietta.  Interment in the Henrietta 
cemetery.
