Funeral services of the late Mrs. J. Alvin Burch of Fulton will be held on Thursday afternoon, March 30th, at 2 o'clock at the family home on Fifteenth avenue. Rev. K. J. McAulay, pastor of the Presbyterian church will preach the funeral sermon and burial will be made in the Fulton cemetery.

Mrs. Burch was formerly Miss Ella May Rounds of Lyons. She was born in this city April 12, 1884, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Rounds. Mrs. Burch died at Agatha hospital Monday morning following an operation for a complication of diseases. She had enjoyed good health until about seven weeks ago, and last Thursday went to the hospital in hopes of getting relief and of being restored to health. She was operated upon Friday and withstood the ordeal well but began to fail the third day following and died Monday morning.

Surviving the deceased are her husband, two brothers, William H. Rounds, and one sister Miss Josie Rounds, all of this city.
