  John Warren Burt died near noon Dec. 1st 1921.  He was then but seventeen 
days more than eighteen years of age.  He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. 
Burt, both natives of Kimble county, the grandson of the late Doctor Burt of 
Junction, and his maternal grandfather is Mr. J. A. Miller an old settler 
now living in the Gentry community.  So he leaves many relatives as well as 
numberous friends to mourn his loss.
  When a child Warren was several times attacked by disease which seemed to 
threaten his life.  However, as he got into his teens he seemed stronger, 
grew rapidly and quickly developed into a comely and winsome young man.  
Near two years ago he was attacked by a trouble which eventually proved to 
be osteo-sarcoma.  Heroic measures were resorted  to and for a time he seemed 
well again and his many friends were happy to see him taking his place in our 
community life.  Then, early in the autumn he began to fail.  Very soon it
was evident that he was losing the battle and after a few smiling suffering 
weeks he passed away from the presence of many who loved him much.
  Many good things could be said of this fine Christian boy.  He was intelligent 
and observing.
