My parents, girlfriend, and I are staying at this air bnb in Paradise Valley, and this land was settled by a guy named Dave Shorthill from Pennsylvania in 1871. A graveyard was established sometime in the mid 1880s up on the hill from here that was previously a Crow Indian burial ground. Apparently this one of the oldest graveyards in Paradise Valley.

We walked up there earlier to check out the graveyard and I saw an LSU sign next to one of the gravestones. Thought some of you might find that interesting.

I'll bet somebody here knows him.

Robert was born on November
17, 1947 in Livingston, MT. He was the son of Eugene and Mona (Jordan) Burtch. He graduated from Park High School, Class of 1966. Robert entered active military service in the United States Army in 1968 and served two tours in Vietnam before he was Honorably Discharged in 1971. Shortly after his return to Livingston he met and married his wife of 44 years, Sherri Madsen. They were united in marriage on June 9, 1972 and have two daughters together. Robert began his insurance career in Helena, MT as a Farmers Insurance Agent in 1974. Later he became an Independent Agent in Helena and Livingston, MT. He then joined AIG Insurance in 1986 in various management roles taking the family to Springfield, IL and then later to Baton Rouge, LA. He left AIG in 2006 due to his illness. He had struggled with lung and heart issues related to his exposure to Agent Orange while in Vietnam since 2000. He enjoyed watching and attending LSU Tiger Football games, traveling in his motorhome, hunting, remodeling, and especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He is survived by his wife Sherri, his daughters Kari Burtch of Livingston, Ronda Burtch (Tim Bordelon) of Baton Rouge, LA and the light of his life, his granddaughter Breelyn Bordelon. He is also survived by his sister, Carolee Gillen of Fort Benton, MT; brother, Bill Burtch (Susan Kros) of Philadelphia, MS; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
