| Text | For seventy years Jesse Burton of Shoal Creek Township awaited the summons from a better land, and on Feb 1, 1909, he bade adieu to friends on earth and his spirit went to him who gave it. He was an old and highly respected citizen of this country and enjoyed the esteem of all his acquaintances. He was a member of the Baptist Church. He left a wife, a son, Ollie, and a daughter Miss Josie, who is very sick, to mourn his death. He was buried Tuesday afternoon in the Burton family grave-yard. He was a Confederate soldier during the civil war. |
