Night Watchman Burnham yesterday marked the 139th anniversary of your murder. For your family to lose you so close to Christmas must have been heart wrenching. Your dedication and service to the City of Haverhill is not forgotten, nor is the sacrifice you made in the course of that service. Thank you for that service.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

A hero who leaves 4 kids behind 2 days before Christmas deserves a reflection...even if it 138 years later. God Bless you and your family. I wish I was as brave as you!
