Della Mae Linder was born in Columbus, Ohio, January 18, 1870 and passed away at the farm home northeast of Palmer, on the afternoon of January 18, 1933, on her birthday anniversary, aged 63 years.
When eleven years of age she came to Nebraska with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Linder, who located at Ashland. Two years later they moved to this vicinity.
In 1893 she was united in marriage to Frank Burkman. they imediately made their home on a farm in Loup Valley, where they have since resided. To this union eleven children were born, three preceding her in death, the oldest, a daughter, died in infancy, a son in 1913 and Ethel in October of 1920.
She had been a kind and affectionate wife and mother, and was dearly loved by her entire family. She suffered much during her last illness, without complaining. She was always cheerful, and had a smile for her daughters and husband at her bedside, right up to the last minute when she slept peacefully away.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, eight daughters, Mrs. Bessie Hood of Rockville, Mrs. Grace Ferris of Boelus, Mrs. Ina Campbell of Central City, Mrs. Frankie White of Fullerton, Mrs. Alice Wymer of Loup Valley, Mrs. Lucile Engel of Central City, and Della and Elayne at home; six grandchildren; four brothers, Fred Linder of Palmer, Lewis of Dunning, Frank of Ewing, and Jeff of Central City, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.
As such a life was a blessing and a benefaction to all within the sphere of its influence, so is the death of such a one, an irreparable loss to the home circle, made desolate by her departure. No one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the desponding, sustain the weak, and to throw the mantle of Christian charity over the frailties of our race.
Funeral services were conducted by Robert Hansen at the Christian Church on Saturday afternoon, January 21st, at 2:30, and burial was made in Rose Hill Cemetery.
The sincere sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved relatives.
