Date inscription very worn and difficult to read. Cemetery book lists a date (presumably a death date) as October 11, 1923, but the Burns Herald newspaper of March 6, 1919, lists his funeral taking place on Monday, which would have been March 31, 1919:
"Several from here attended the funeral of George Barfoot Monday, who was buried in the Burns cemetery. His little son is very sick with pneumonia. The Covington and Barfoot families have the sympathy of all during their trouble."
Mrs. Barfoot (maiden name Covington) must have been pregnant at the time, because in the August 14, 1919 Burns Herald, it proclaims:
"A ten pound boy was born to Mrs. George Barfoot at the W.O. Miller home Tuesday at 2 P.M. Dr. H.P. Hansen is the attending physician with Mrs. Miller as nurse."
And in the July 29, 1920 Burns Herald, George's widow Zola seems to have married George's brother, Edward L. Barfoot:
"Word has been received here that Mrs. Zola Barfoot of north of Hillsdale, was married recently to Mr. Barfoot of Nebraska, a brother to the late husband of Mrs. Barfoot". When he died in 1956 (he is buried in the Fairmount Cemetery, Denver), she later married an Edgar McIntosh.
In the 1900 Emmet County, Iowa census, George's birthdate is listed as October 1888. His WWI draft registration lists his birthdate as October 29, 1888, and birthplace listed as Emmetsburg, Iowa, which would be in Palo Alto County.
