He was my great great great great grandfather. Heard this story a few times growing up. Travel for a paving company now and had to have a vin check done on my travel trailer. The oregon state cop that did it turned out to be my cousin. He was a decendent of Andrew! Believe his name was Marcus Burt.

Andrew Hill Burt is my great, great, great grandfather. After getting into law enforcement I discovered some family history in law enforcement that I wasn't aware of. My mother, LuRae Horsley Hemingway, recently gave me a framed portrait of Andrew H Burt that now hangs in my office at work. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of his lineage.

Andrew Hill Burt was my Great Grandfather. I have been folowing his story since childhood. My Grandmother, Florence Adella Burt was living above the jail at the time of his murder, as a toddler. When I was about 13 I took a walk with my Grandmother and she showed me the spot where is was shot.
I am in the middle of creating a web page on his life.

Marshall Andrew Burt is my grandma's great, great grandfather. We have all grown up knowing the story and history of Marshall Burt and how he was the first US marshall killed in the line of duty in Utah. We have all the original newspaper articles as well as the articles written in the utah peace officers assoc. magazine. He truly is a legacy in the state of Utah.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 126th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

How proud you must be that your family is continuing your legacy of protecting and serving.

Rest In Peace.

I have heard of this man all my life. My father loved to tell us stories about him and I always felt a great honor to be related to him. He will always be a inspiration in my life. My youngest daughter is married to a Wyoming State Highway Patrolman and I have a great feeling of honor to know that my family is carrying on after this great man. My Nephew, is also an officer in Washington State. Thank you Andrew Hill Burt for your love and care for the people of your time and the effort, even to your death, that you took of them.

I too am a grandson of this influential man. I have recently been studying my family history and am proud to be one of his decendants. My oldest son (his great-great-great grandson) was born on the 110th anniversary of chief Burt's death. His posterity is growing.

I have always known that Andrew H. Burt was my great great grandfather from my father and grandpa. I am a Trooper for the Washington State Patrol now going on 16 years. One of my sons name is Andrew Burt and someday I want to meet my hero, Chief Andrew H. Burt. I feel his service has special meaning to me and to God.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
