Burnett Cemetery Community Graveyard located on old Jeremiah Burnett & Sarah Schell's home place in White Oak Hollow. Section 25, T21N, R30W The cemetery is on private property and is surrounded by fields, with no public access. There are 20 to 30 graves, most marked only by field stones. A few gravestones have inscribed names and dates, the earliest burial dated 1881 (John C. Johnston), and the latest in 1938 (Sarah Schell Burnett). the area was settled about 1845, so some graves are probably much earlier than 1881.
