The funeral services were conducted at his late home on Church Street Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. H. Bennett of the First methodist Episcopal Church South officiating.


Mr. Burkhart was born at Whitman Station, Wash., October 31, 1846. He came to Oregon when a child with his parents and settled near Albany. He graduated from the Oregon Agricultural College in 1871. He married Miss Serepta Cornelius, June 15, 1876. Mrs. Burkhart died in 1898. Mr. Burkhart's second wife was Miss Ella Fenton of Albany. He is survived by his widow and two sons by his former marriage, Raymond and Clyde Burkhart who live at Lebanon.


Oregonian, October 3, 1911


Please note: While his Raymond Burkhart family left in 1846 for Oregon, due to his pending birth as they came down the west side of the Blue Mountains in Umatilla County, the family diverted to the Whitman Mission in 1846 and he was born in October. The family "falled and wintered" at the mission until the late spring/summer 1847 when they joined up with the 1847 James Curl Wagon Train to Linn County, Oregon and arrived via the Barlow Road in October 1847. (On November 29, 1847, the Whitman Massacre happened.)
