It is also learned that she came to America about 1867 or 1868, and made the trip with her husband on their honeymoon. Mr. Burkhart passed away some 40 years ago. One daughter Anna, born in 1870, passed away 17 years ago, and since that time Mrs. Burkhart had lived alone until last fall in her old home on Cherry Street.
She leaves no relatives in this country that are known here, but she leaves many nearby friends in this vicinity.
