Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, August 13, 1874.

DIED-

BURNAP-At her residence near Baldwin, Iowa, July 23rd, 1874, Mrs. Ellen A. Burnap, wife of Clarence Burnap, daughter of Henry Ewers, in the 21st year of her age.

Her death was sudden and unexpected, and with it brings great sorrow. It seemed almost impossible that we should meet in the same room where we had met four weeks before to see her a happy bride, now to see her in her bridal dress, encoffined for the tomb.

Her sufferings were intense, but short. She leaves behind many that miss her, and three sad hearts-husband, father and mother-who have lost the joy of the late home and pet of the household. Look up dear weepers, there is a light in the window for you.
