Notes:
Birth date is taken from the book 'Indiana World War Records' available online at www.hathitrust.org. That source includes a brief biography and also a picture of Private Burket (spelled with one 't'). Also, that source gives his death date as 1/19/1918. The notice of his death is from the January 23, 1919 Bremen Enquirer. It states that Pvt. Burkett died at midnight Saturday, which may be taken to be Saturday, 1/18/1919 or Sunday, 1/19/1919. The year is 1919, not 1918.
