William C. and Elizabeth Stoll Burton were early Bronaugh residents. Their daughter, Nettie was among Bronaugh's popular young ladies of the time.

Here is the obituary for Lizzie Stoll Burton Thompson from the Bronaugh Journal. She died November 22, 1933. After the death of William C. Burton, she remained single for many years. In 1924, she married Charles Thompson of Bronaugh.     Below is the grave marker for William and Elizabeth at Worsley Cemetery.

Somehow, I missed the last couple of lines when it was scanned. She is buried at Worsley Cemetery at Bronaugh as you can see from the photo.

This is Nettie Burton. She married Clarence Starr. Nettie and Clarence are buried at Worsley Cemetery. Her dates are 1886 - 1949. The June 15, 1949 Bronaugh Journal gave the death notice of Nettie. She and Clarence had lived at Arcadia, Nebraska for many years. She died at Ord Hospital in Ord, NE on June 12. Her funeral was at the Bronaugh Methodist Church with burial at Worsley Cemetery. Part of it is shown on the right. Clarence and Nettie had two daughters, Helen and Lucille. This photo is from the Haverstic collection. Thanks to Lindell for sharing it.
