Edna Burton, beloved wife of Glen Burton, passed away at her home on Gospel Hill [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY], Saturday morning, Feb. 27, at 2:15 o'clock. Death brought release from weeks of intense pain and suffering, from which physicians gave no word of encouragement from the beginning. Edna Burton was the daughter of Louella Gardner and Charles Mathews and was born May 20, 1900, at Cooks Falls [Delaware Co., NY]. Mrs. Burton was of a retiring nature, yet made many lasting friendships. To be through with this world in the prime of life, 42 years, is very sad, but her years had been complete, filled with her home life, and devotion to her husband. She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Ralph Cook, of Sherburne; one sister, Mrs. Lester DeForest, of Afton; a brother, Claire Mathews, of Rochester. Final rites were held Tuesday afternoon at the Colwell Funeral Home in Bainbridge, the Rev. J.W. Bump, of Guilford, officiating. The body will be placed in the vault at Bainbridge, to await burial in the Spring. Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband and family. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Mar. 4, 1943]
