Notes:
--
Aged Citizen Dead.
Burdine Farmer, who would have been ninety years old on the 28th of next
November, and who had been a citizen of Navarro county since 1867, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Martha Ann Patterson, north of Corsicana, at
7 o’clock this morning, and the remains were interred at Zion’s Rest this
afternoon at 5 o’clock Rev. G. W. Sanders officiating.
The deceased was known to and greatly esteemed by the older citizens of
Navarro county.
His wife died many years ago, but he is survived by the following children:
I. M. Farmer, J. E. Farmer, A. F. Farmer, Mrs. Emma Tadlock and Mrs. Martha
Ann Patterson. Besides these there are many grandchildren and a number of
great-grandchildren.
The deceased had been very feeble for some time, and was nearly blind, but
his general health was good for one of his years. About a week ago while
trying to find his way through a door he fell down the steps of the house
and received a very severe hurt on one of his hips, and it is supposed that
this accident hastened his death.
Burdine Farmer was a native of Tennessee and a veteran of the war of 1845,
with Mexico. He was in many of the engagements of that strife and was with
Gen Zachary Taylor at the City of Mexico when that city fell.
He was a good man in all the walks of life and has left to his children and
other descendents the precious heritage of a good and honored name.
