Miss Burke spent her life in Crawfordsville and of its usefulness and beauty all who knew her are witnesses. It was one of rare devotion and commended itself by its works. She was a consistent member of the Christian Church and her religion shone no less in the home than in the sanctuary. - and thanks to "S" for this one :)
