Join us on Monday, September 28th at 6:00 PM (Central Time) for an evening discussing Ms. Burnett's recent title, Gone to the Grave: Burial Customs of the Arkansas Ozarks, 1850–1950, published by University Press of Mississippi.

​

Burnett is an independent researcher who, as seen in the Arkansas Educational Television Network’s 2010 documentary Silent Storytellers, studies such things as long-lost burial customs, tombstone symbolism, epitaphs, and the work of early stone carvers.

​

She has written entries on graveyards, stone carvers, and early medicine for the online CALS Encyclopedia of Arkansas, and has also given public talks on all aspects of burial in Arkansas, her adopted state for the past forty years.

 

This event is brought to you by Bentonville Public Library and Northwest Arkansas Genealogical Society.​
