AGED ADAMS COUNTY LADY PASSED AWAY
Drucilla Burkhead, 74, Dead of Infirmities at Monroe
Drucilla Burkhead, aged seventy-four, widow of Jonathan Burkhead, passed away this
morning at six o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sadie Gould, in Washington
township, where she had made her home the past six months. Death was due to infirmities
of age. She had been an invalid for nearly six years but bore her infirmities patiently,
being an example of fortitude.
The deceased, a life-long resident of Adams county, was born June 25, 1845, her
parents, William and Elizabeth Engle, being pioneer residents of Adams county. In young
womanhood she was married to Jonathan Burkhead, who passed away a few years ago. Of the
seven children born to them, six are living. They are Libbie Headington, Blue Creek
township; L. N. Burkhead, Sadie Gould, Washington township; Minnie Gage, Decatur; Belle
Hocker, Lola Parrish, Monroe. A son, William, died at the age of four years.
The funeral will be Friday morning at ten o'clock from the Monroe Methodist church,
with the Rev. Krider officiating. Burial will be in the Ray Cemetery. - Decatur
