Obituary of Eliza Hasten Morecraft Lowell Burybile

 

From Clark County (IL) Herald

10 August 1904

 

Mrs. Eliza Burkybile died at her home in Walnut Prairie last night at 11 o'clock after a two weeks' illness from cholera morbus.  She received a fall while leaving church early in June, sustaining a fractured ankle, and has nevre been well since.

 

Eliza Hasten was born in Ohio Oct. 14, 1825.  In early childhood her parents, Peter Hasten and wife, came to this county, where our subject grew to womanhood and was married to Jos. Morecraft.  Two children were born to this union.  The husband died in the early sixties and a few years after the widow married Wm. Lowell.  The second husband, too died in a few years.  She was again married to Geo. Burkybile and he also preceded her.  The two children left to mourn her loss are Mrs. R. A. Ogle and Peter Morecraft.

 

Mrs. Burkybile was a kind mother a good neighbor and while her death did not come until far past her allotted three score and ten, yet she will be sadly missed.

 

The funeral services will be held tomorrow, Rev. Neal McClain officiating, after which the remains will be laid to rest in the Liberty cemetery.
