Historical Sketches of Iowa Baptists, 1886.

REV. HIRAM BURNETT died at his home in Mt. Pleasant, January 8, 1881, in his 82d year. Born in Georgia in 1799, but removed with his parents when ten years of age to Winchester, Adams county, Ohio. He was ordained about 1832, and labored in Ohio for ten years. He came to Iowa in 1832 and settled at Mt. Pleasant where he labored for twelve years. Many of the churches in the Burlington and Keokuk Associations can testify to the untiring activity and devotion of Father Burnett in the earlier days of their history and struggles.
