Mrs. Lizzie Ann Burris, aged 60 years, died at her home on Kerr street early this morning after an illness of several weeks’ duration, her death being due to an attack of heart trouble.
Mrs. Burris was born and reared in Stanly County, moving to Concord 25 years ago. She joined Meadow Creek Primitive Baptist Church in early life, later moving her membership to the Concord Primitive Baptist Church. She was a faithful member until ill health forced her to discontinue her church activities.
She was married to J.F. Burris on February 5th, 1877, and to this union 12 children were born, eight of whom survive her. They are J.R., W.D., Lee and B.C. Burris, Mrs. J.A. Cauble, Mrs. W.L. Bost, Mrs. Willie Dorton and Miss Ada Burris, all of this city.
Funeral services will be held at Meadow Creek Primitive Baptist Church on Wednesday at 1 o’clock, Rev. Robert Helms, pastor, conducting the services.
