DIED.
The death of Mrs. George Burnight at her home west of Chatsworth, Iowa, on
Friday, November 22, 1918, was a very sad one. She was attacked by
influenza and a trained nurse was called from Sioux City to care for her,
and Dr. Roland, of Chatsworth, and Dr. Dorothy, of Sioux City, were also in
attendance, but despite everything that could be done, she succumbed after a
brief illness.

Elizabeth Celesia Bockelman was born at Chatsworth, Iowa, June 30, 1893,
being the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bockelman, well known and
highly respected residents of Chatsworth. On May 21, 1913 she was united in
marriage to Mr. George Burnight. Three children came to bless this union,
the youngest of whom is about six months of age. Besides the husband and
children, she leaves her parents, two sisters and three brothers to mourn
her death. One brother, Lawrence Bockelman, passed away only the week
before, being also a victim of influenza. The sincere sympathy of many
friends goes out to the sorrowing relatives.

Funeral services were held Sunday, November 24, at the Church of St. Patrick
in Akron, Rev. D. K. Hurley officiating. Interment was in the Catholic
cemetery here.
