We believe that Jesus died and rose again; and so it will be for those who have died in Christ.

God will raise them to be with the Lord forever. Comfort one another with these words.

Mr. George “Jack” Burton, Jr., son of the late George and Eunice Burton, was born June 4,

1928 in Warren County, NC. He entered into eternal rest on March 7, 2017 at Warren Hills

He received his education in the Warren County Public School System.

It was early in his life that George was baptized, and joined the church.

On April 8, 1950, he married Annie Esther Talley, and they were married for sixty-four years.

He was a hard worker, and worked tireless on a daily basis to provide for his family; farming,

and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
