St. Louis Camp No. 731, U. C. V., in memorial resolutions on the death of William V. Burton, May 9, 1922, paid tribute to him as one of its most loyal and esteemed members, "whose courage as a soldier in the hour of battle, when, as a memmber of LeSueur's Battery, Parson's Brigade, Price's Division, he so heroically served his guns while death and destruction swept by, will ever be kept green in our memories.... Through a life of more than threescore years and ten he as nobly met the duties and obligations to his fellow men and to his God."
