- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, March 13, 1879 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - South Richland, March 10th, 1879 - Died in Holmesville, December 30, 1878, at the residence of her father, William Rockfellow, Mrs. Ann Eliza Burton, aged 43 years and 3 months. Mrs. Burton was born in Schoharie County, New York. When about two years of age she, with her parents, moved to Camden, where she lived until she was about eighteen. Then her father purchased the Isaiah Holmes fann in South Richland, and she, with the rest of the family, moved to this place. She was married the following year to Dr. J. M. Burton. About sixteen years ago he commenced practicing medicine in Redfield, where they remained until his death, five years ago. She with her two children remained in Redfield some two years, when she moved to her father's in Holmesville, and her daughter found a home with E. H. Walworth in Mexico, her boy finding a home with P. Davis of the same place. When her father's house was burned, two years ago, she was a great loser. She was taken sick last spring, lingered all through the summer and fall, and finally died in December. Her disease was scrofula consumption. Her funeral was held at the Methodist church, January 2d, the first day of that terrible storm. Only a few of the very nearest friends tried to get to the grave, and they only went as far as N. Minlder's. At L. Willis' the bearers left their team and went on foot, and by shoveling ahead of the hearse managed to reach the cemetery. Only Rev. Mr. Melotte and the bearers got to the grave.
