Doctor William Marion Burdett was the son of William Burdett, Jr. and Sarah (Lowe) Burdett. He attended Medical College in Nashville, TN and practiced in Pulaski, TN. He later moved to Nashville where he established a large practice.

He and his wife had only two sons: Dr. William P. Burdett (also buried at Mount Olivet Cem.) and John B. Burdett.

"Doctor William Marion died suddenly in is buggy one night, while returning from a professional call. His faithful horse brought him to his home. He is buried, in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Nashville, Tenn. I found no tombstone at his grave, but in the administration office of the cemetery, the following is recorded:

His wife
