Obituary of Albert B. Burnett 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 13 Oct 1933.  


Mr. Albert B. Burnett passed away peacefully here on Thursday, 5 Oct 1933, night 
of last week at the home of his sister, Mrs. C. A. Roles, after a long period of illness, 
suffering with a complication of troubles.  He was moved here several weeks ago from 
the hospital at Thomasville to be under medical treatment of his nephew, Dr. C. L. Roles, 
who later carried him to Putney hospital at Albany for further treatment.  He was brought 
back from Albany a week prior to his death.  Though his family knew that his condition 
was critical, he had seemed better than usual on Thursday until taken with an attack that 
night and in a few hours the end came quietly.  Friday, 6 Oct 1933, the remains were 
carried to Quitman, the old home of the deceased, for interment, the funeral party leaving 
here at 1:00 PM.  Services were held at Quitman funeral home, conducted by Rev I. P. 
Tyson, of this city, and assisted by Rev J. E. Sampley, pastor of Quitman Methodist 
church.  Interment was made in the family lot in the family lot in Quitman cemetery.  The 
Camilla Funeral Home was in charge.  Mr. Burnett was seventy years of age at the time 
of his death.  He was born in Louisiana and his boyhood years were spent in Cairo.  He 
was a prominent business man of southwest Georgia and for many years was in 
wholesale grocery business with stores at Quitman, Valdosta and Nashville.  He was 
married to Miss Laura Lasseter, with whom he lived happily for a long number of years 
until their union was broken by her death in January.  Their only son had died several 
years ago.  Mr. Burnett was a lifelong member of the Methodist church to which he gave 
loyal service for as long as he was able.  Mr. Burnett is survived by his two sisters, Miss 
C. A. Roles and Miss Maggie Burnett of this city.  Two nephews, Dr. C. L. Roles, Mr. A. 
R. Roles and a niece, Mrs. J. C. Palmer also survive him together with two grandchildren, 
Thomas Burnett and Mrs. J. L. Sullivan, both of Quitman.  Warm sympathy of friends of 
the entire community is extended the bereaved family in their loss.
