Jeffersonian Republican. (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911: June 20, 1872 & July 11, 1872
Eliza Burnett, wife of D. Britton Burnett, and daughter of Jacob and Francis
Biedleman, was born in Bucks county, Pa., February 29th 1809. She professed
conversion to God in the year 1828, under the labors of a holy devoted Presbyterian
minister named Carpenter... A large number of the inhabitants of this town were
added to the Church under his ministry, and among them Eliza Burnett. Shortly after
her conversion she joined the M. E. Church here, and for many year was doubtless as
consistent as its best members. Then sickness and other troubles intervened and the
shadows crept over her soul. About the year 1861 she was deprived of the use of both
hands and otherwise severely afflicted. Still we believe that she struggled toward
heaven and strove to be a devoted Christian, notwithstanding her many troubles and
hindrances. Shortly before her death sickness, she told the writer of her endeavors
to be a Christian and of her hope of everlasting life. She spoke definitely and
cheerfully to the praise of God's grace. On Saturday June 15th, (17th?) 1872, she
quietly departed this life, we trust to live forever in the brighter and better
world. How great were her afflictions and disadvantages here, how sweet to her now
must be the rest of heaven to which she looked forward. We hope to meet her at last
amid the joys of the Eden above.
