Biographical Sketch of George F. Burkarth, Johnson County, Missouri,
Warrensburg Township
From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell,
Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.
G. F. Burkarth, one of Johnson county's progressive farmers, is a
native of Ohio. He was born near Washington, Fayette county in 1861,
the only child of Frederick and Elizabeth (Saltzman) Burkarth, both of
whom are natives of Germany. When their son was five years of age,
they moved from Ohio to Johnson county, Missouri, November 11, 1866,
the Burkarth family settled on a farm west of Warrensburg on Bristle
Ridge. Mr. Burkarth purchased a prairie farm, comprising 80 acres of
land, paying $18 an acre and later he increased his holdings by pur-
chasing another farm at the same price. At one time, Frederick Burk-
arth was owner of 452 acres in Johnson county. He came from Ohio to
Missouri in a linchpin wagon, drawn by a team of horses. His son,
G. F., recently sold the wagon to a junk dealer. Mr. Burkarth spent
the active years of his life in improving his farm, which he sold in
1903 and he is now living retired in Warrensburg, at 204 West Gay
street. He is 82 years of age and his wife, one of the noblest women
of the early settlers of Warrensburg, is 77 years of age. George F.
Burkarth received his education in Long Prairie school. Until he was
32 years of age he remained at home with his parents. He is now the
owner of 80 acres of the home farm in Centerview township and in 1906
he purchased 123 acres of land adjoining the city limits of Warrens-
burg. He has rebuilt the residence on this place, which is his home,
and erected a barn, 34 x 52 feet, which was built for dairy purposes.
Mr. Burkarth keeps pure bred Jersey cattle, though not registered, and
has been engaged in the dairy business practically ever since owning
this farm. In 1892, G. F. Burkarth and Kate Scheidenberger were united
in marriage. Mrs. Burkarth is the daughter of John and Margaret Sch-
eidenberger, who came to Warrensburg in 1869 from Pennsylvania. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Scheidenberger were born in Germany. In 1884, the father
was killed in the explosion at the Eureka Mills in Warrensburg and his
widow is now living in Warrensburg. John and Margaret Scheidenberger
were the parents of the following children: George, Leavenworth, Kansas;
Mrs. Lizzie Schaffer, Warrensburg; Mrs. Sarah Lowe, deceased; John, Jr.,
Springdale, Arkansas; Mrs. Kate Burkarth, wife of the subject of this
review; William, Palo Alto, California; Mrs. Margaret Gable, Holton,
Kansas; Gustavus, deceased. To G. F. and Kate Burkarth have been born
two children: Margaret, who lives at home with her parents; and Law-
rence, who is employed as fireman on the Santa Fe Railway. Mr. Burk-
arth is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, affiliating
with this lodge in 1902, and of the Sandstone Lodge No. 137, Warrens-
burg. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burkarth are held in the highest esteem in
this community.
