  Mrs. Isabella, wife of Hon. Jacob Burley, who departed this life 
January 7, 1889, died at her home on Lincoln avenue yesterday morning 
at 1.50 o'clock after a short illness of la grippe.  Although not 
strong nor healthy for a year or so past, she was able to attend to 
domestic duties up until last Thursday.  Mrs. Burley, whose maiden name 
was Igou, was born in Antis township, then Huntingdon county, on the

death was aged 68 years, 9 months and 21 days.  On the 24th day of 
June, 1841, she was married to Jacob Burley at the home of her uncle, 
Jacob Igou, near Bellwood.  To this union were born four sons and one 
daughter, one of whom only survives, Henry C., a deaf mute, who with 
his wife, also a deaf mute, and their two children made their home with 
the mother.  She also leaves one brother, George W. Igou, of Lamoille, 
Bureau county, Ill.  Mrs. Burley was very domestic in her habits and 
her home at all times was a paragon of cleanliness and neatness.  Her 
only cares were that her husband and children might have a good 
pleasant home.  She was a devoted and conscientious Christian woman, a 
faithful member for many years in the Methodist Episcopal church.  
Funeral services to be conducted by Rev. R. H. Gilbert, will be held at 
her late residence on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Interment in
