The Burdett post office opened in 1888. The Burdett Cemetery was started in 1893 when the land for the cemetery was donated by Leonard and Celia Preston. Their daughter, Nora, is buried here. The Burdett Cemetery is located on County Road 55 fifteen miles north of Otis and is one half mile east of Colorado Highway 61. The information below was gathered by five individuals and then put together.
Information is from tombstones, cemetery records, newspapers, mortuary records and family members.
Conflicting information between sources is noted. However, their death notice did not provide a burial location and they have no surviving marker. The base for this listing is a 1993 transcription. Arlene has further family information on most of the individuals listed. Any errors in this listing are probably mine.
