J. J. BURT, a worthy member of the ba- [sic] of Santa Clara county, has been a
resident of California since 1873, having come to this State from Alabama.

  Mr. Burt was born in Talladega county, Alabama, September 29, 1852, son of J.
C. Burt, a planter, merchant and mill owner of the town of Talladega, the county
seat of that county. He was educated at the University at Virginia, graduating
in the law department of that institution in 1872. He first practiced his
profession in San Jose, California, devoting his entire time thereto for about
twelve years. His ability as a lawyer is acknowledged in the courts in the
State, and his enterprise and push as a business man have won for him the
admiration of the citizens of San Benito county. He has recently interested
himself in the development of the Cienega limestone deposit in this country,
mention of which may be found elsewhere in this work.

  Mr. Burt was married May 29, 1876, to Miss Sallie B., daughter of Robert Webb.
Her father died on the Isthmus of Panama, while in Government service and en
route to California to establish a United States mint at San Francisco. Mr. Burt
is a native of New Orleans. They have six children: Fannie, Marion, Shirley,
Nettie, Madaline and John.
