#2-11 Nov, 1903 - The Pilot - Cornelia Brunton

The Pilot regrets to be called upon to announce the death of Miss Cornelia Brunton, the twenty two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Z. T. Brunton. She had been employed at Omaha until sickness entered the family when she returned home to help in caring for those stricken. Others of the family improved, but disease overtook her and the best medical attention could not stem the tide and on Tuesday morning she passed peacefully away. Only a few days ago she was among us, apparently in the best of health and her death is a severe shock to her many friends here. She was educated and refined and won the close friendship of those she had the pleasure of meeting. The funeral will be held today at 2:30 from the Christian church. Rev. Young, pastor of the church, will deliver the sermon.
