Death of William Burnett
Obituary
Once more we are called upon to record the death of one of Ray county's most worthy and highly esteemed citizens. On Friday, August 6, 1897, at 10 o'clock a.m., William Burnett, aged about 70 years died at his home near Ovid, Grape Grove township, after many years of affliction from palsy.
He was at one time, one of the stoutest, most robust and industrious men in Ray county, a farmer by occupation and during those days of health, he accumulated sufficient of this world's goods to make him comfortable in old age, but disease came and robbed him of the promised ease and his last days were burdened with affliction but he was a patient sufferer.
He was a true man and stood by his friends under any and all circumstances and his word was as good as his bond.
He leaves a wife and six children, all grown to maturity. They have the sympathy of all in the loss of a husband and father.
Funeral services were held Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, by Rev. W.J. Parvin of the M.E. church, South, of which he had been a worthy member for years, after which the body was buried at New Hope cemetery.
He was a member of the Masonic order and was buried with Masonic honors.
