The Lawrence Co. Gen. Society, Inc. has obits for 1886, and John Burchett is one:
"January 21, 1886
Our community was saddened to hear that John Burchett, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Lawrence County has departed this life. Uncle John, as he was familiarly known, had been a sufferer for many years from a combination of physical ills, and his death was therefore not unexpected. He began several days ago to fail rapidly, and Tuesday morning at three o'clock he quietly breathed his last, surrounded by his sons and daughters-his venerable wife having some years ago preceded him to the Land Beyond the River. At this moment we know so little of his early life. He was born on the 6th day of November, 1806 in the spot now occupied by the drug store W. T. Evans, and has always lived in this county. At the time of his death he had so far as we not remember, four sons and three daughters.
Uncle John was a man of very decided character, with him to like a man was to like him, to dislike him was to hate him. Consequently he had some enemies but his friends far outnumbered the latter. To men he was firm and unyielding, and to women and children, he was gentleness itself, and at hie home his hospitality was unbounded. We do not know whether Uncle John was a member of any religious body or not, but we do know that he was the soul of honor in all his relations with his fellow man. His word was indeed his bond, He was buried Wednesday, at the old homestead where so many years of his life were spent. To the family of our dead friend we tender our warmest sympathy."
