Funeral services were held Wednesday, interment at Montour cemetery. Mrs. Alex. H. BURNS, of Imperial, was called from among us last Friday morning. She was 91 years old and since the death of her husband had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. David HARPER. Mrs. BURNS was an unusually bright and cheerful old lady. She enjoyed young people and loved to talk about old time amusements, etc. Some years ago her husband served a term in the Legislature and they were always popular in political and social circles. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. HARPER Monday at 11 a.m. Rev. Mr. POTTER and Rev. Mr. ASDALE made addresses. Interment was at Clinton cemetery. In the demise of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. MCMURTRY, which occurred at Chicora, Butler county, both dying within five days of each other, the oil country has lost a well-known couple. Mr. MCMURTRY was a brother of Mrs. James CAMPBELL, Robb's Valley, and was well and favorably known among oil workers. He was a native of Venango county and went to Butler country during the first oil excitement there eight years ago. He was in his fifty-fifth year and his wife in her forty-ninth. The latter had been an invalid for a number of years and it is supposed that the shock of her husband's death hastened her own. Four children are left to mourn the death of kind and affectionate parents.
