Burgamy, Lulla 65 Mother-in-law B: Georgia Athens Weekly Review, Thursday, April 17, 1924 I have been requested by friends at Murchison and the Murchison correspond ent to write the following: On April 4th, 1924 at 3 P.M. the angel of t he Lord carried away the soul of Mrs. Lula J. (Gordon) Burgamy, of Murchis on, Texas. Mrs. Burgamy, who was born, March 17, 1854 and was marri ed to Emory G. Burgamy December 8, 1870, in Spalding County Georgia, w as a woman of strong Christian character and a devoted member of t he M. E. church since 1869. She endured much suffering during her last il lness, but patient, and wanted to go, brave to the last moment. She was b uried in Larue cemetery by the side of her dear husband, who had gone on s ome seventeen years before. She made her home with her only surviving dau ghter, Mrs. Porter Luker of Murchison. They had 10 children, 16 grandchil dren and 9 great grandchildren. Only three children survive her, Marvin B urgamy of LaRue, Eustace Burgamy of Athens and Mrs. Cora Luker of Murchiso n. Mrs. Essie Martin, the wife of a prominent business man of Murchis on is her granddaughter whom she raised from a six month old girl when h er mother died. She loved Essie as her own and Essie had the opportuni ty to return a part of this great kindness in her last days. Rev. J oe B. Wells, Methodist pastor of Murchison was visiting in Texarkand wh en she died, but came at once to attend the funeral services. I have known this good woman for years have been in her home; she has be en in our home; have heard her testify for her Lord and Master. She w as a good woman and her children know where to find her. Emulate her go od example and meet her in the great beyond. Mrs. Burgamy was known all o ver the eastern end of the county and those who knew her best loved her mo st, for she always met them with a smile. B. C. Hall There is a listing for Lula J. Burgamy in the Morrison Chapel (This is al so known as Larue Cemetery) Cemetery along with other Burgamy names.
