By the relatives and friends she will be remembered as a faithful
companion, a devoted mother and a kindly neighbor and friend. She was a quiet and unassuming woman who never spoke ill of any one, and will be missed in her home and the entire community.

About a full century ago a young man, Hizer Burnell, and his, wife, who was from what was then a well-to-do family, entered from the Government a homestead near Dundas, ILL. and established there in the wilderness their home. On the 7th of March, 1853, a son was born to them, whom they called Quintes. When this boy was two years old, his father died, a victim of that strange, but deadly malady of those pioneer years, milk fever. Within a short time, the young widow married a man who had a large number of children from a former marriage. Into such circumstances and influences, this boy was taken, and was reared, receiving from them, normally and naturally, marks that left their permanent impress upon his life. At the age of twenty, he was married to Anna Burkholder, and with her established their home on the homestead entered by his father. Here they lived continuously, excepting for a part of one year, for over half a century, or until her death in 1928. Here their eight children were born and six of them reared. Here they made their contribution to the life of their community. In 1890, he united with the Mt. Gilead Christian church, in which fellowship he remained until his death. For many years his influence ranked with the stongest in the church's life. For about the last three years he lived with the youngest child, Mrs. Maud Elliott of Gambier, Ohio. It was at her home where he quietly laid aside his earthly house on the morning of October 18, 1932.

Abraham Hiley is my 1st cousin 4x removed. The only information on the location of the graves is given by account in Abrahams Bio. I had to use Rome as findagrave demanded a city?? I feel that by the contibution
that Abraham gave to our Country, we should take the extra step. If this location of his grave can be found it would be a credit to Perry County, Indiana and to us.
Thank you for your efforts.
