Indiana L. Burdette Obituary, 1891 - Monroe Co. WV

Obituary from Monroe County Watchman, Union, WV, Monroe Co, WV 9 Apr 1891
(Vol 20, No 11) - At her home on Wolf Creek, Monroe Co, WV, on 22 Jan 1891,
Mrs. Indiana L. Burdette, aged 74 years and 9 days. She was the daughter of
Archibald and Nancy Crews and was born in Amherst Co., VA on 13 Jan 1817. At
the age of 8 years, she, with her widowed mother, removed to this county. At
an early age she accepted Christ and united with the Greenbrier Baptist
Church at Alderson. She was united in marriage with Madison Burdette on 26
Feb 1833. Together they became members of the Broad Run Church when it was
constituted and always took delight in doing their part in all the work of
the church, of which he was a deacon. He preceded her to his reward in 1881.
She had long been a sufferer from cancer in the face. Of their children, 6
sons and 5 daughters survived them, one son having died in infancy. These
and their descendants number about 90. She died as she had lived, calmly,
peacefully, hopefully; and may those she so faithfully consoled and blest
never forget her words, follow her example and meet her beyond the flood.
The Rev. P. L. Glover officiated at her funeral. A large number of friends
and relatives were present notwithstanding the inclement weather. Amid the
tears of sorrowing friends she was laid to rest in the silent tomb there to
await the call of the resurrection morning. May we all live so as to meet
her in the fadeless fields of God's eternal glory. (signed "J.P.B., Wolf
Creek, WV, March 23, 1891.")
