Mrs. Nora Hegg, wife of the late William Hegg, died at her West
Jefferson street home in this city (Covington), at 8:45 a.m.,
Tuesday,(December 13, 1918)aged 53 years, 8 months and 16 days, after
months of illness from cancer. She was one of a family of nine
children, two brothers alone survive her.
Mrs Nora Harris-Hegg
was the daughter of the late Rev. Francis and Suzanna Harris, a pioneer
Methodist preacher, and was born at Edenburg, March 27th, 1865, the
family later locating in Covington. Here October 11th, 1888, she was
united in marriage to William Hegg, a well known resident of this city,
who died September 7th, 1914. To this union were born two children,
Miss Lera, and Lyle, both of whom have reached maturity and survive
her. She is also survived by the two brothers, Rev. Mark Harris of
Vincennes, and Milo J. Harris of Bethel, Ohio, who is engaged in
journalism.
The funeral services were held from her late home at
2:30 p.m., Thursday, conducted by Elder Will Switzer, assisted by Rev.
Standforth, the male quartet furnishing the song service, interment
following in Mt. Hope cemetery.
Early in life Nora Harris united
with the Methodist church and it always remained her church home, in
which she was a diligent church and Sunday school worker, having taught
a class for years and until her declining health made such service
impossible. Her's was a beautiful Christian life, it always being a
pleasure for her to minister where needed and to lighten the burdens of
others. In her home her beneficent life and its sweet influences were
most strongly felt, and the bereaved daughter and son who attended her
last hours of suffering, with such filial love and care, who remain,
will most fully realize the power of her sweet life and the magnitude
of their loss. Mrs. Nora Hegg, her life work though done, will live on,
nor be forgotten

I am assuming "this city" was Covington since that is where Mabel
lived and almost every article in her scrapbook is about something in
Covington.
If anyone has any info on Eliza i.e. parents, birth date, death date, marriage, children, etc. please advise. I checked Danville, IL deaths and the only one listed by the name of Eliza Burnell was in 1941, but had her age at 79 years - not 50 as newspaper article indicates.
Thanks!
Mrs. John Burnell of Danville, Ill., formerly Miss Eliza Kercherville,
of this city, aged about 50 years, died at her home in Danville, Sunday
afternoon. The remains were brought to this city Tuesday noon, funeral
services being held at the Danville home, interment taking place in Mt.
Hope Cemetery, a large number of relatives and friends following the
remains to their last resting place.
