Again we are called upon to announce the death of another pioneer of Southern Indi ana, in the person of Mrs. Rebecca Burris, which took place Saturday at the residence of Rev. Wm. W. Daniels. Mrs. B. was born in Troy, New York, in 1790, and emigrated to Indiana more than a half century since where she has resided, honored and respected by a large circle of friends.

Daniels, who have been known familiarly to our people as among the most highly esteemed of citizens.

The eighty-seven years of her life had not been spent in vain, but for the greater part in illustrating the “beauty of holiness.’ At a ripe old age sake has been gathered to the throng of the redeemed, on the bright shores to which she had so long and patiently labored to reach.
