Dear Debbie,
Yes, I know how Burton Barkey died. He was living at home with his parents on the Barkey
homestead and had been courting a girl in the community. She spurned him it appears, and
he became very depressed. He took his own life. If you send me an e-mail I can give you
more particulars on this. He is buried in the Highland Center cemetery east of Clatonia.
It is a sad story indeed, and almost bnoke his parents' hearts.
By the way, I have visited the grave of great Grandma Barkey [Hattie Fox Barkey] in
Missouri. She and Aunt Eva, her oldest daughter are buried there. I have more
information on them also.
How is Cline doing? I hear from him once in a while, but his handwriting is difficult to
decipher sometimes. He was my mother's favorite boy cousin.
Kindest regards,
Donald Lovelle Plucknett
