Translation:
Mrs Gertrude Burhen, wife of Mr August Burhen, 345 New Str, died on the 4th of this month and the funeral was held last Sunday at noon. Rites were performed at the German Methodist Church on Adams Ave, where the deceased attended services with her family since the 60's; the turnout was large, a sign of how well respected she was. Reverend Hausser, who delivered the eulogy, mentioned that Mrs Burhen lived through some hard times during the 50's when being German here was difficult, which, thank God, seems to be in the past. Mrs. Burhen came to Slocum Hollow [Scranton] in 1841 and always liked to talk about earlier experiences.
