In 1956, he began serving as an extension division instructor in history at the University of Tennessee, Nashville Center, and in 1962 became a radio broadcaster. Burt died on 20 November 1976, in Nashville, Tennessee, and is interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Pastel (chalk). Donated to the library by Cholette (aka Susan Loudermilk) in 1983.
