Charles B. Burnett, familiarly known as "Jack" Burnett died at half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. R.C. Burnett at Cross Anchor. He had been ill for several months.
Mr. Burnett's home was a Beaumont, TX, but when the physicians in that city were unable to do anything for the malady which resulted in his death, he came to his parents, his wife, who was Miss Julia Noble of Beaumonth, and young daughter, Corinne, accompanying him. The disease left him a cripple and he had to be carried to his parents' home in an ambulance of the Bobo Undertaking Company.
Mr. Burnett is best known as the captain of the Wofford College baseball team, which in 1899 and 1900 defeated all other collegiate teams in this part of the country.
He was 35 years old and was born in Spartanburg county. He graduated from Wofford in 1900. Soon afterward he went west and amassed a fortune in the oil and lumber fields of Texas and Oklahoma. Buesiness reverses came, which swept away his earnings, but with the indominable courage which characterized the man he went to work and accumulated another fortune.
Mr. Burnett is survived by a widow and daughter, his father and mother and several brothers and sisters. He is a nephew of J.J. Burnett, recently elected probate judge.
The funeral services and burial will be at Cedar Shoals Church at three o'clock this afternoon.
