The death of "Grandma" BURGER at the home of her son, A.H. Burger, five miles southeast of Glenwood, removed an old and respected resident from this community. Had she lived until March next she would have reached the remarkable age of 94. "Grandma," as she was familiarly called, was born in South Carolina in 1811 and was married to James L. Burger in Missouri in 1833. They came to Iowa in 1849, settling in the neighborhood where her last days were spent. Her husband died in 1868. Nine children were born to them, five of whom are still living. They are A.H. Burger with whom Grandma has made her home since her husband's death; G.M. Burger and Mrs. Thomas Young of this county, and W.J. and George A. Burger of Doniphan, Nebraska.

Mrs. Burger was a charter member of the First Methodist Church organized in Mills County and attended meeting in the first log schoolhouse built in Rawles Township near her home. This was the beginning of what is now known as the Waubausie Methodist Church. Although Mrs. Burger experienced all of the hardships incident to pioneer life, she has enjoyed the best of health until within the past fifteen months, being able to read and write readily, performing many household tasks. She stood as the senior representative of five living generations; her son, A.H. Burger being 68; her grandson, James I. Burger being 46; her great granddaughter, Mrs. Clemmie Turton of Woodbine 27; and her great-great grandson, Oscar Albert Turton being 2.

The funeral services will be held at her late home this morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by rev. Jos. Barkheimer of Hillsdale. Interment in Waubausie Cemetery.
