Notes

BURKETT, Matilda A. GIBSON - Matilda A. Gibson, only daughter of

John A. and Virginia Gibson, and wife of Geo. W. Burkett, was born in

Washington county, Ark. Oct. 27th, 1850; made a public profession of religion

in 1867 and connected herself with the Cumberland Presbyterian

Church of Cincinnati, where she remained a consistent member until her

death which occurred on Jan. 13th, 1889. She was married to Mr. Geo. W.

Burkett Oct. 30th, 1874 and was the mother of seven children, three of

whom preceded her to the land of rest. The last that died, a babe of one

year, she said she would not grieve after as she would soon follow it, for

well she knew that the dread disease, consumption, was fast eating her

life away. No one will miss her more than the aged mother. To the husband

and brother we extend our deepest sympathies in the great sorrow that

has come upon them. A Friend. [Fayetteville Democrat 1/25/1889]
