Mrs. Burwell had been ill for about a year. Her passing was sudden. She united with the Free Methodist church in 1883 and was one of the charter members of this society. She possessed a faith and confidence in God and always gave in a definite testimony to the saving and sanctifying power of God to save and to cleanse the heart from all sin. She remarked in her testimony, "If the Lord should call for me any time I would be ready to go."
She was a practical as well as a spriritual christian. Her home was always open for prayer. We can say, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my end be like hers."
J. F. Mudd of Shenandoah preached the funeral sermon.
