FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 2, 1911 IN MEMORIAM Entered into rest on Friday, January 20th, 1911, at 10 o'clock p.m., Lewis M. Burnett, at the home of his son-in-law, William H. Perkins, No. 1719 Bell Glade avenue, St. Louis. He was born in the year 1832 near Nashvill, Tenn.; moved to Hickman county, Kentucky, at the age of 20. When the civil war broke out he enlisted in the Confederate army; was wounded at the battle of Shilo; was discharged on account of the wound. He moved to Farmington, Mo., in the year 1971 [sic]. Our dear father was taken sick November 1st, although not confined to his bed all the time. He suffered a great deal, but was never heard to murmur or complain. He seemed perfectly resigned, for he had lived a Christian life, and when Jesus called him, he sweetly fell to sleep. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Allice Perkins and Mrs. Kate Snyder, formerly Mrs. Beck; also eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. After a short funeral service at the house, conducted by the Rev. J. T. Allen of Plymouth Congregational Church, his remains were laid to rest in the new Pickett cemetery by the side of his wife, who preceded him 13 years before. Though our hearts are crushed with grief and sorrow, we console ourselves with the knowledge that father died as he had lived, a true and devoted Christian. We miss him from the empty chair at the family fireside so much, but God's will be done. DAUGHTERS.
