Mr. Burt was born in Essex County, N.Y., Aug. 17, 1811. In 1836 he married Miss Jane Rogers, a very worthy lady, and the mohter of his five children, three of whom are living her and Mrs. R. Schofield, of Arizona, and Mrs. F.S. Turney, of Plankington, D. T. He made a very pleasant home in St. Lawrnece County, N.Y., where he lived with his family thirty one years, when the circle was broken by the death of his wife. He then came here, and in two years married Mrs. Laura Wilkins, who has been a very devoted wife and still survives him.

He loved his children and was especially fond of his grandchildren. He enjoyed religious services and believed in a merciful God. His funeral was held at the M.E. Church on the 19th of March, Rev. J.D. Brothers officiating.
