DEATH OF A PIONEER WOMAN
Mrs. John C. Burgoyne Dies After Much Suffering

Kingsley News-Times: Hannah Adeline Barrett was born in Dayton, Ohio,
February 28, 1866, and died in Kingsley, Iowa, August 10, 1917. She spent
several months in intense suffering. Everything was done that could be done
to relieve the suffering. She was courageous and bore up to the last but
all to no avail. The call came and she answered the summons.

The deceased was well known throughout this part of the county, having spent
most of her life among us. The family came with Mrs. Julius Hanson to
Plymouth County about thirty-one years ago. They have lived in Kingsley for
the past twenty years. Seven of the children are living and were present at
the funeral service.

The deceased was united in marriage to John C. Burgoyne November 25, 1897.
Their happy married life continued only six years when Mr. Burgoyne was
killed by a horse while living in Kingsley.

The past fifteen years has been filled with useful work. She was constantly
employed serving humanity to the best of her ability. She was kind to
everyone and her many friends have only words of kindness for her as they
now reflect upon the deeds done in life. Kind deeds last long after we have
passed from the walks of life.

Early in childhood she united with the Baptist church in Sioux City.
Afterwards she united with the Christian church of Kingsley. She expressed
herself as being ready for the great change awaiting her and counted death
as a welcome release from the intense suffering she was compelled to endure.

The deeds of kindness sown along life’s way will continue to bear fruit as
the years roll on. Death does not end all. Our deeds follow after us.
“Blessed are they who die in the Lord. The name of the righteous shall be
hade in everlasting remembrance.”

The funeral service took place in the Congregational church on Monday
afternoon, August 13, at 3 p.m., Rev. Steele, of LeMars, officiating. The
body was laid to rest in the Kingsley cemetery.
