BURDETT ECCLESTON

  Burdett Eccleston, who occupied the Frank T. Corbin farm in McDonough, died Sunday from pneumonia, aged 30 years.  The disease attacked him some three weeks ago and was particularly severe from the start, which it was hoped his strong constitution would withstand.  But it was a long and fatal fight, the young man laying unconscious for many days before death ended the struggle.

   Deceased was well known in this section and had many friends.  He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Lewis Eccleston, who with four brothers and two sisters survive him.  He is also survived by his wife, the daughter of Mrs. Harriet Martin of this village, and four children.
