OBITUARY

From Find A Grave

Harold Cleveland Burnham, age 84, of Newnan, died Monday, April 27, 2009 at Piedmont Newnan Hospital.

Harold was born May 5, 1924 to the late Gordon and Rada Shinn Burnham. The Burnham family, whose numbers were considerable, had come to Coweta County when farming became increasing difficult and the textile mills were providing steady jobs that may not have paid much, but there was money every week and if the families ran short, the company store could tide them over.

When World War II came along, Harold, like many of the Burnham men, answered the call to service and Harold joined the Army. Although he never talked much about his service experience, his Purple Heart spoke volumes about his dedication to the cause.

In his 84 years, Harold's life was one of hard work, family and friends. Harold was married to Sara Nell Young and she preceded him in death in 1994. Their only son, Ronnie Burnham, preceded him also in 2005. In addition, four of his siblings predeceased him.

Harold is survived by his daughter-in-law Donna Burnham; his grandchildren, Lindsay Burnham and Mallory Burnham and a great grandchild Lacie Howard. His surviving siblings are Hamp Burnham and Margaret Majors. Katherine Freeman has been a very dear friend to Harold these last few years. There is also a large extended family of nieces, nephews and cousins.

Funeral arrangements are by McKoon Funeral Home at 38 Jackson Street where the family will receive friends on Wednesday between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The funeral service will be on Thursday April 30, 2009 at 2:00 PM in the McKoon Funeral Home chapel with Reverend Stacey Stafford officiating. Interment will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

It is suggested that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Mr. Burnham's memory to the Sargent Baptist Church Building P.O. Box 189 Sargent, GA 30275.
