Burke, Alta #2 (25 DEC 1869 - 9 JUN 1916)

SISTER DIES

Fred CRAIG of this city was summoned to Thorpe Saturday morning on account of the death of his sister, Mrs. Alta BURKE. Mrs. Burke had been in poor health for some time but was confined to her bed for only about three weeks and the news of her death was very unexpected. She leaves three brothers, Fred Craig of this city and George and Albert of Thorpe, and three sisters, Mrs. L. M. FREEDY and Mrs. George AUGER [ALGER] of Thorpe and Mrs. Charles CHAMBERLAIN of Augusta, and five daughters, the Misses Lucile, Dorothy, Bernice, and Ruth BURKE, who live at home, and Mrs. Roy PIPER of Thorpe, besides a son, John BURKE, also of Thorpe. Mrs. Burke is an old resident of Thorpe and will be buried in the Irish Catholic cemetery at that place.
