Joshua Burnett by W. D. Ritter

The father of MOSES R. BURNETT, now deceased, late of Taylor township, who lived and died in the same township was a native of New Jersey. He had a conspicuous natural "mark" that covered one of his temples, but did not injure his looks. He had been a man of very fine physical structure – neither too much nor too little flesh; nice, manly, rugged proportions and appearance. He lived nearly one hundred years and was buried in old Plummer (now Taylor township). We know nothing bout his services in the war, save that he was an honored soldier in it.
