Mr. BURT has been in failing (health) for some time,
but just the last two weeks his condition became serious, although he was able to be up until the last two days. Mr. BURT had a wide acquaintance, who were sorry to learn of his passing.

He came to Kansas with his parents when he was ten years old. The family settled on a farm near Haddam, where he grew to manhood.

On Dec 25, 1887 he was united in marriage to Miss Annie CONGLETON. To this union three sons were born; Ralph of Haddam, KS, George of Rice, KS and
Frank, Haddam, KS.

After Mr. and Mrs. BURT's marriage they moved to
their farm located five miles south and one mile west of Haddam, where they lived for half a century. Mr. BURT was a prominent man in his community.

He was a member of the Howard School board for many years and served a number of terms as trustee of Grant Township. In 1928, Mr. BURT was elected as a county commissioner, in which capacity he served for four years.

During his life time, Mr. BURT was an extensive land owner, farmer and stockman. He was a large cattle and hog raiser, and his greatest pride was his good horses. He was an ardent admirer of fine saddle horses and saddles. During his most active years, he took great pride in his well-kept stock, his yards and corrals.

The past few years, Mr. BURT's health has been failing an about two years ago, they moved to Haddam. After a brave fight he failed rapidly the past ---weeks. Even though he apparently knew his days were few, he was quite cheerful, telling his family that he was alright.
