Burnett, for forty years one of the foremost citizen of Yell County, died at his home here at 11:00 Saturday night, following an illness of many months' duration. Mr. Burnett, who was 63 years of age, was born in Warrensburg, MO., and came to Dardanelle when quite a young man. Three years later he was married to Miss America Cotton, who died in 1890. To this union was born seven children, five of whom, survive; Mrs. Robert Cowger, Danville, Fred C. Burnett, of this city; Mrs. H. C. Scott, Chickalah; Mrs. H. L. Mauldin, Butler, Okla. In 1892 Mr. Burnett was married to Miss Meekie Hatfield, and to them were born four children: Mrs. H. O. Murdock, Red Oak, Okla.; Roger, Bryan and Robert. Mr. Burnett served two terms as Sheriff of Yell County, from 1898 to 1902, and made a most honorable and efficient official. During the height of the Southern Cotton Association he served as President of the Arkansas Division and played an important part in the fight for betterment of the condition of the farmers of the Southland. Mr. Burnett was a member of the Woodmen of the World, the Knight of Pythias and the Masons, in the latter fraternity being many times Worshipful Master of his lodge. Funeral services were held at Brearley Cemetery at 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, a brief funeral discourse being delivered by Rev. F. M. Tolleson, after which the solemn and impressive burial rites of the Masons were conducted. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, every section of the County being represented. In the Death of Mr. Burnett we feel that not only this community, but the entire State has suffered a great loss. He was a man of strong convictions and ever found battling on the side of right. He was a devoted husband, a kind and indulgent father and a generous, honest helpful friend. The P-D joins the many friends of the grief-stricken, widow and children in extending its deepest sympathy.
