Burmer lost his mother when he was four. He was raised by his mother's parents, John T and Cynthia Ann Betts Rice.
He registered for the WWI draft on June 5, 1917. He served in the Georgia National Guard 2 years before. The history of the Georgia National Guard states that "in 1916, Georgia National Guardsmen deployed to the Mexican border as American troops under General John J. Pershing hunted the Mexican bandit chief, Pancho Villa who had been raiding U.S. settlements." [http://www.hsgng.org/pages/history.htm] Burmer's participation is unknown at this time.
His draft registration states that he was tall and slender with gray eyes, light hair and was not balding! The family story goes that he was in a boxcar in France that was blown up and he was the only survivor. This story has not been confirmed yet.
