Surnames: Burlingame Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wEC.2ACE/1328 Message Board Post: DIED On the 29 ult. Amanda Burlingame, daughter of Lyman Burlingame, living near this village; aged 17 years. Immediate cause of death was "Meningitis." She thus leaves a father and mother, a number of brothers and sisters, and a large circle of relatives to mourn her loss. The funeral services were conducted by Prof. Washburn on the 1st inst., who preached an approproate discourse from the words, " Set your affections on things above; not on things on the earth." The neighbors and acquaintances would unite in expressing sympathy with the bereaved in their loss of one whom we trust has been taken to a home on high. May the Lord grant that the whole circle of friends shall be admitted to mansions of peace above. Source: Elroy Plaintalker, dated 7 Dec 1877
