OBITUARY..
Miss Marnaret Burke.

aFfiN~ u.s. 5-@A - -At Nes
The many friends of Miss Margaret
Burke, who for some years past has
resided at the home of her niece, Mrs.
James McGrory,Will be grieved to learn
of her death, which occurred at 11.30
o'clock Saturday morning. The cause

for a long time.
Miss Burke was born in Pallasgren,
Limerick, Feb. 29, 1928, the daughter
of Patrick and Honora Fitzgerald
Burke. She came to this country in
1850, and the fact that for the past
twenty-five years she has lived on the
money earned during those early days
speaks we'll for the way in which that
time was spent. She had travelled ex-
tensively, ard it was a source of great
delight, both to her and her friends, to
relate the experiences of those travels.
She was held in high esteem by her
host of friends, not only for her kind
and gentle nature, but also for her
charitable and Christian deposition.

ton, who died in this city April Is,
