| Death* | 27 May 1882 | He died on 27 May 1882 at Harrison Co, Ohio. |
| Burial* | | He was buried at Hopedale Cemetery, Green Twnshp, Harrison Co., Ohio, 401908N0805356W, Green Township Cemeteries Vol 5 pg 220 (SLC 977.168/G1 V39g) says: "Died of old age in his 7y d.30 Oct 1862. Since he was alive in 1880, the stone was obviously misread. A local researcher, Dorothea Greer pursued this matter and found "Historical Collections of Harrison County" by Charles Hanna which says: "Lee S. Burton, d. May 27, 1882; 73y." She sent a copy of the tombstone, and though not entirely clear, it's obvious the latter citation is the correct one, and commented "I could not find a stone for Lee S. Burton. I looked on the other side of Ellen Burton's stone. ... looked more ornate ...chalked the stone ... completely surprised when I saw the Burton name show up ... the stone matches what is in Charles Hanna's reading. ... I could really see why our readers missed this stone completely. I think they read Hannah's stone as Lee S. Burton's stone because of the inscription, wife of Lee S Burton".  |
