          MRS. FLORENCE HELEN MAUDE BURNETT
     It is with regret that we record the death of Florence Helen Maude Burnett on December 3, when the flag hung at half-mast over her home.
     Mrs. Burnett was a member of an old Leek family. Born at Dieulecresse Abbey on February 1868, she was the eldest daughter of Henry and Mary Brunt. Her first lessons were given to her by a much loved governess Miss Pilkington, later she went to Miss Milliner's school at Ford House. She completed her education at Bedford College, London. Thereafter she spent several years in Texas. She was an excellent horsewoman, and throughout her long life her inbred love and understanding of animals were among her greatest rewards.
     In due course she came back to Leek, and lived at the Manor House in the Market Place where she met and married Reuben Burnett, who was assistant to her step-father, Dr. Edgar Gailey. She had 32 years of happy married life, on which she always looked back with thankfulness.
     Her charecter was steadfast and her interests wide; no unkind gossip was ever heard at her table. She was glad to have enjoyed the graciousness and ease of Edwardian times, and to have ended her life surrounded by the love, comfort and kindliness of her neighbours in Regent Street.
     The funeral took place at the church f St. Edward the Confessor. The service was conducted by the Venerable George Youell, vicar of Leek, aided by his assistant clergy, the Rev. David Morris, B.A. and Rev. Alan Paice, A.K.C. The lesson, read by Mr. Nigel Brunt, was taken from 7th. chapter of the Relevation of St. John. The 121st. psalm preceded this reading, followed by the hymn "Sun of my soul." Mr. Youell said prayers and the hymn "Hark, hark, my soul angelic songs are swelling" was then sung. The choir sang the 23rd. psalm as a recessional while the coffin was carried from the church.
     The family grave was lined with anemones when the body was laid to rest in love and reverence.¹⁹
