On September 15, 1903 she was happily married to Samuel Arthur BURR and lived happily in this union till she passed away. Two children were born to them, both of whom survive.

She leaves to mourn their loss her sorrowing husband, her children, Margery EARHART of Fairfield and Carl BURR of Washington and her 3 grandchildren. Her father, three sisters and one brother have preceded her in death. Her mother, Mrs. Mary MOSS survives and lives in Ottumwa. Surviving brothers and sisters are W. E.

E. church, that being near her residence. She retained her faith until the end. She was sick for over four years and seriously ill over a month.
