William Henry Burt moved with his parents from New York to Michigan when a child, and later enlisted in the 4th Michigan Cavalry.
On October 27, 1866 he was married to Sarah Maria Cortright in California, Branch County, Michigan.
To this union were born five children, one having died in infancy, the other four being with him to the end.
Those surviving her are; Mrs. Carrie Gunn, Mrs. Mabel Enterline, John Tyrell Burt, and Bruce Levi Burt.
With his family he moved to Oklahoma at the opening of the Strip, homesteading the place where he lived until his death, which occurred July 20, 1918, age 79 years, 4 months, and 13 days.
He told us he was ready to go.
He was an active member of the G.A.R., also an Odd Fellow, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He leaves to mourn his loss 4 children, 8 grandchildren, 1 brother, 1 cousin B. B. Tuttle, and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, Rev. H. E. Hogan preaching the sermon, as Rev. J. L. Bardy was taken quite ill and was not able to preach the funeral as had been requested.
The Odd Fellows had charge of the services at the cemetery, assisted by undertakers Mill and Lee.
The NEWS joins a host of friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved.
