Ethel Blanche Burt

Notes:

Mrs. Lucy A. Hunt, 75, widow of Harry Hunt, and her granddaughter, Mrs. Ethel Fairbank, 30, wife of Edmund R. Fairbank died within four hours of each other yesterday afternoon at the family home on the Peck Hill Road in the town of Dewitt. Mrs. Fairbank was stricken about 1 o'clock, after a brief illness, and while Cornell & Clements, undertakers, were at the house at 5 o'clock to arrange for her funeral Mrs. Hunt passed away. Mrs. Fairbank's mother, Mrs. Arthur T. Burt, is seriously ill. It was while caring for her mother that Mrs. Fairbank became ill, and it is believed that her death and worry caused by the illness of Mrs. Hunt's daughter hastened the death of the elder woman. Besides her husband and mother, Mrs. Fairbank is survived by her father, Arthur T. Burt; one son, Wilbert A. Burt; two brothers, Harry O. Burt and Frederick A. Burt, and three sisters, Mrs. Howard N. Moyer and the Misses Marion E. and Georgia M. Burt. Mrs. Hunt, besides her daughter, leaves one son, Dr. Frederick A. Hunt of Pompey. Owing to Mrs. Burt's illness a double funeral will be held privately at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon with services for friends and relatives at 3 o'clock in Oakwood chapel.

Ethel married Edmund Roy Fairbank in 1915. Edmund (son of Arthur Ray Fairbank and Jennie Cobb) was born on 13 Mar 1891 in Dewitt, Onondaga County, New York; died on 16 Jan 1954 in Dewitt, Onondaga County, New York; was buried in Fayetteville Cemetery, Manlius, Onondaga County, New York.
