Cecelia Burke Kaylor 

Mrs. Cecelia Burke Kaylor, relict of James J. Kaylor, died 
at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. William O'Neill in 
Cresson Monday evening.  Her death was caused by heart 
failure and followed an illness of about ten days from 
minor complications of disease incident to her age.

Mrs. Kaylor was born March 17, 1829, on the old Burke 
Homestead, five miles from Wilmore.  She was the youngest 
daughter of John and Esther Burke, among the earliest 
settlers of that section.  In 1854 Mrs. Kaylor was married 
in the old Catholic Church at Wilmore by the Rev. Father 
Tobias Mullen. Her husband died at this homestead on July 
27, 1894.

Mrs. Kaylor is survived by one brother, John Burke of 
Cincinnati, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Manse, who resides 
with her daughter at Dunlo.  Also by the following 
children:  Rose C., a professional nurse of Pittsburg; Ida, 
a member of the Order of Mercy at McKeesport; Raymond J., 
and Harold G., editor and associate editor of the Johnstown 
JOURNAL; Irene M., wife of William O'Neil (sic) of Cresson 
and Louis E., editor of the Cambria TRIBUNE at Ebensburg.  
All of these were with her when she died.

The funeral took place Thursday morning at 10 o'clock with 
solemn high mass of requiem in St. Michael's Catholic 
Church, Loretto, and interment followed in the church 
cemetery.
