Burmister family patriarch Robert Henry Burmister (b. 1847 - d. 1946) was a Prescott, Arizona businessman, banker, and builder. He came to Prescott in 1874 and married Margaret Foreman Bashford (b. 1850 - d. 1917), daughter of local business man Coles Bashford (b. 1816 - d. 1878) and Frances Adams (Forman) Bashford (b. 1827 – d. 1911). Robert then became a partner in the Bashford family store, and it was known as the Bashford-Burmister Store Incorporated. He was Prescott mayor in 1900 and was involved in various mining and building endeavors in Prescott. Several years later, Robert married his second wife Elna Toller of Georgia, who survived him.
The gravestone is located in the Burmister family plot in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.
