Wm. Burnett, who was murdered by Indians at Granite Wash, in this
Territory, a short time ago, was a young man of good moral character, and
his death is greatly regretted by relatives and friends. He was born in
Texas, June 4, 1849, and, in 1853, accompanied his parents to California.
He came to this Territory and settled at Walnut Grove, in this county, in
June, 1868, and was on his way to California to settle his business there,
and return to his home here, when the accursed red fiend's waylaid and
murdered him. He leaves a mother (Mrs. Allen Cullumber, of Walnut Grove),
four brothers and a sister, to mourn his untimely fate and weep over his
loss.
