Mrs. Boher (now spelled Burr) widow of Fredrick Burr, deceased, died at her residence

 

Mrs. Boher (now spelled Burr) widow of Fredrick Burr, deceased, died at her residence by Mr. Dear Huntersville on the 3rd instant, aged about 85 years. She was a native of Rock- bridge county, Va., her maiden name being Skirting Lowman. She was married in 1822 to Fred- rick Burr, who was a Hungarian lately emi- grated to this country. Her husband was conscripted by Napolean the Great, and was in the disastrous Russian campaign and at Waterloo, and was said to have been most suc- cessful in his career. They had a con- siderable family, the male portion of which bore strong marks of their German ancestry, but none of the boys (of whom there were four) survive their mother.

The text is from a newspaper article that was published in the Pocahontas Times on February 10, 1883. The article is about the death of Mrs. Boher, who was a resident of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The article includes information about her age, birthplace, maiden name, marriage, and children. It also mentions that her husband was a Hungarian who had been conscripted into the French army and fought in the Napoleonic Wars.
