From "Centennial History of Madison County, Illinois, and Its People, 1812 to 1912--Volume 1", Chapter L "Bench and Bar of Madison County", Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago & NY, 1912, Pg. 422:
"George B. Burnett was born in Ontario county, New York. He studied law under his father for several years and was admitted to the bar in 1860. He began the practice of law in 1862 at Edwardsville and continued alone until 1866, when he formed a partnership with Judge M.G. Dale, which lasted until 1876, when Dale was elevated to the county bench. His brother Frank W. then went into partnership with him and continued for about a year, when they dissolved, each establishing a practice for himself. George B. Burnett gained quite a distinction as a criminal lawyer and was always in demand for all noted criminal cases. He died several years ago in California."
Note: Buried with the Burnett family is infant Frederick Bigelow
