An Appreciation

The Sandhill Citizen, Southern Pines,
N. c., has the following:
Mr.. Editor: Will you allow a little
space for a heartfelt tribute to one
who for many years has been an i'm
portant factor in the life of this city,
Miss Kate Halves Burleigh?
She was born in Fairfield, Maine,
was educated in the schools of that
town, and of Waterville, and was a
graduate of the Gorham Normal
school. She became a teacher, but on
the death Of her aunt, Mrs. Gilman S.
Burleigh, went to Iowa to keep house
for her uncle and to care for his two
small children. On account Of failing
health they came to Southern Pines
in 1905, where they have since lived,
going to Maine for the summer.
For IL long years she bravely
struggled with disease which mani
Tested itself in frequent severe attacks.
but through 1t all she never lost her
spirit of cheerfulness, and on recovery
would at once busy herself in many
forms of activity which were her de-
light She was woman of brilliant
mind, of great executive ability, born
to lead, a wise counsellor, Of boundless
energy, subject only to the limitations
of the physical, and a constant sur
prise to her friends who wondered how
she could accomplish SO much
She had also a poetic nature, as man.
Tested by many a graceful effusion
from her pen expressing sweet senti-
ment, and was not without fine sense
Of humor. as many of her writings
proved. though her modesty regarding
this gift prevented a general know
ledge of her ability in this direction.
I'm our early acquaintance. the writ
er remembers her in her favorite ex-
ercise horse back riding, and she was
truly a regal figure, dignified. self
possessed. with perfect control OF the
animal that seemed proud to bear so
charming a burden; a picture in mem
orv that brings pleasure and yet pain.
