South Bend Tribune 15 Jul 1913
Dr. W. H Burkett Dead At County Infirmary - Had been in the County Jail Up to 
Last Saturday - Dr. W. H. Burkett, of 213 North Hill street, died yesterday 
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the county infirmary, following an attack of 
delirium tremens.  He was removed to the infirmary on Saturday afternoon after 
having been picked up and detained in the county jail.  Dr. Burkett was a 
veteran of the civil war and a pioneer physician.  A little more than a year 
ago, it is said, he was under suspicion in connection with the grand jury 
investigations of Maggie Penrose and Lizzie Van Riper, indicted on charges of 
performing an illegal operation.  The probe of Dr. Burkett's case; however, 
never got beyond the grand jury room and the details never reached the 
public.  The deceased physician was a member of a local fraternal order and it 
is probable that, although funeral arrangements have not been completed, 
services will be held under the auspices of that organization.  He is survived 
by a daughter, whose residence is not known, and a son, who lives in Seymour, 
Mo.
