The Burgner homestead is one-quarter mile down Horse Creek below the John Sevier Highway on Route 107. It is on the West side of Horse Creek about one hundred yards away from Horse Creek that runs through the property.

On their homestead is a private family cemetery known as the “Burgner-Snapp Family Cemetery” in which are buried Daniel F. Burgner (1817-1902) and his wife, Camola Snapp Burgner (1829-1881). Also buried there is the mother of Camola Snapp Burgner, who was Elizabeth Cook Snapp (1792-1874). The cemetery today has more or less been abandoned as all the tombstones or memorial stones are gone and nothing remains of the cemetery.
