What is the year of the Union newspaper clipping? Am I missing it?

Sadly most of the newspaper clippings that were compiled in a binder are missing both the date and publication. If it is present, it will be included in the posting.

Frances Burton was well known for her fine needlework on canvas, using silk thread instead of oils. Her father (Fred Jones) was the town's physician. Her brother was also a physician. The Jones, the Gibsons, Chandlers, and Appletons were all related by marriage. At one time there was a Frances Burton annual lecture. Frances at one time owned land at Gibson Four Corners. In 1935 when town road workers earned $3/day Frances donated $3000 to the Stearns Lecture Fund.

Any relation to Maude Burton? I see a resemblance.

That's quite a head of hair in that first picture. Must be a hair extension?
