MRS. LYDIA (WEYANT) BURKET

Widow of Professor John C. Burket, a former principal of the Tyrone and 
of the Gaysport schools, died at her home in Syracuse, N.Y., on Sunday 
morning at 2.30 o'clock, death being attributed to a heart condition 
following a short illness. She was born at Queen, Bedford county, the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zachariah Weyant. About twelve years ago 
Professor and Mrs. Burket went to Syracuse where the husband died in 
January 1930. Surviving are two sons, Earl of Minneapolis, Minn., and 
Ray, at home, and one sister and two brothers, Mrs. James A. Weyant and 
Albert Weyant of Queen and Samuel Weyant of Sproul. She was a member of 
the Reformed church. The body will arrive at the home of her sister at 
Queen, from where funeral services will be conducted in charge of Rev. 
Frank W. Montgomery, pastor of the Claysburg Methodist charge. 
Interment will be made in the Greenfield cemetery.
