![]() | George Hubert Burnett, Jr. .. Believed to be George Hubert Burnett, Jr., cropped from a group picture taken in front of the Brook Store, Brookhaven, NY. The key to the group picture indicated that this was "Hugh Burnett." Hugh is a proper name, and apparently little used as a nickname. There is no Hugh in the Burnett family of Brookhaven. "Hugh Burnett" is only rarely found in all the US censuses, 1790-1930. The picture key was apparently made by George Perley Morse, a local historian, in the middle 20th century. It is likely that he meant George Hubert Burnett, Jr. While Bert is the usual short version of Hubert, Hubert or Hugh might have become used to distinguish him from his father. George Hubert, Sr. would have been about 67-70 when the picture was likely taken. |

![]() | Union Dime Club .. the Union Dime Club was a social organization active in Brookhaven Hamlet from about 1883-1888. This article from the Patchogue Advance provides an interesting picture of the social life in the community during the late 19th century. |
Headstones | ![]() | #028.Burnett — Burnett Cemetery Plot .. There is strong evidence of a Burnett Cemetery plot at Woodland Cemetery. A cemetery deed was found in the papers of George Hubert & Francis Jagger Burnett's grand daughter, Ann. Frances Jagger Burnett purchased a large plot #227, being 28 ft. by 28 ft 6 in. containing 798 superficial feet. The date on the Deed is April 6th 1893, two days after George Hubert Burnett died. That Frances Jagger Burnett and George H. Burnett, Sr. are buried there seems very likely, and there is a good chance that children George H. Jr., Isaac, Henry Theron and Ann Frances are also buried there. However, searches of the cemetery have not found any Burnett gravestones. Plot: #227 |
