         Obituary
         
         In the sudden and unexpected passing away of
       MRS. FRANKLIN BURGE on Friday night, Nov. 22d,
       at her home in Shoreham, an unusual sorrow fell
       upon the community. Quiet and unassuming in 
       life, her sweet Christian grace of character
       and unfailing charity of spirit linked her to
       the affections of all who knew her. Unconsciously
       she had glided into the affections of people who
       scarcely realized, themselves, how strong the
       bond had become, until the sudden summons told
       them that they were bereft.
       
         MRS. BURGE, with her husband and her oldest
       daughter, now MRS. FRANK DOUGLAS, came to
       Shoreham forty-five years ago. She was born in
       Chester, N.Y., Sept. 3, 1832, her maiden name
       being HELEN KATHLEEN HIGLEY, and she was married
       to FRANKLIN BURGE in 1855. Her husband and three
       children, MRS. FRANK DOUGLAS, HOWARD BURGE and
       MRS. B. B. PEARSON, survive her.
