Collin Co., TX - Obits: G.W. Burchett *********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/ Contributed by: Elaine Bay *********************************************** POINT MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF G.W. Burchett, a farmer living on the Davis place about a mile and a half east of Point, shot himself with a shotgun early yesterday morning, the charge tearing off the top of his head and causing death instantly. It occurred in the house but no one witnessed the sad tragedy. Mr. Burchett came to this county a few years ago from Malissa, Texas, and is survived by his wife and children. He was about 60 years of age. ~ ~ ~ The Rains County Leader, Feb 10, 1922 ~ ~ ~
