The Savannah Daily News; Friday 31 January 1862; pg. 2 col. 3

Died, at Dent’s battery on St. Simons Island, Ga., on the evening of the 11th 
January, after an illness of twenty-four hours, JOHN J. BURNETT, twenty-three 
years and four months of age.  The deceased was the youngest son of the late 
John Burnett, deceased.  At the time of his death he was in the service of the 
Confederate States, being a member of the Glynn Guards.  This sudden and 
mysterious dispensation of Providence has bereft an aged and devoted mother, 
and a large circle of relatives and friends, of one whose loss can never be 
supplied, and whose memory will ever be cherished.  Of a generous and 
charitable disposition he ministered to the distressed and sympathized with 
the afflicted and always exhibited an impressive regard for the welfare of 
others.  Truthful and candid, he abhorred deception, and never, by word or 
deed, detracted from the fair fame of another.  There was about him that 
nobleness of soul, sincerity of purpose and dignity of manner which commanded 
the admiration and secured the esteem of all who knew him.  Thus, in the 
spring tide of life, in the midst of health and prosperity, and with the 
prospect of long and happy years before him, he died, leaving those that are 
near and dear to tread the pathway of life in sorrow and gloom, and many to 
mourn that one so good, so young and so kind had departed forever.

Verily, as the flowers of the field, we spring up and are cut down.  J.
