BURKHART.-At the residence of her
daughter, Mrs H Foster, il this city,
July 9th, 1884, Mrs. REBEccA b, BURK-
HART, relict Of John Burkhart, aged SO
years, months and % days.
Mrs, Burkhart was born in Frederick
Co, Maryland, Oct. oSth, 1900. In early
life she moved from that state TO Tenn, and
afterward to KY, ILL.,, and Iowa, and came
70 Oregon in ls47, settling in Linn Co.,
where she spent the remainder OF her life.
By old residents, she is said to be the trst
white woman that kept house in Albany.
Twenty eight years since, death came and
took her husband. Six of her children had
also passed on before her, while six others
remain. In early youth she became chris
tian aud united with the Presbyterian
church. During the past - years she has
been member Of the Congregational church
of this city. Although for several years af-
fiicted with lameness which deprived her of
the privilege of public worship, and conin-
cd her most of the time to the house, she
yet kept warm and strong her christian faith
and her hope grew brighter and brighter as
the end approached, until at last she sweetly
fell asleep in Jesus, and now peacefully rests
beside him with whom, in years gone by,s
walked the path of life.]
