Took a little time this morning to look up John W. Burns. 1920 IN Soundex has
John W. Burns, Vanderburgh Co. 37y, wife Verrial 29;sons Frank19, and Columbus
5. Also living with him were Ora Dorsey, b l 18; Myrell,s l 18; Robert b l,
25., don;t believe that is your John did not find him on the 1900 Soundex, but
found O.P.Burns 45, b. July 1854, Spencer Co.; Mary, 41, b.Oct 1858, Philip,18
b.Jan 1882, Riela, 15 b Sept. 1884, Wallace 9 b.Nov 1890; Allen 6, b June
1893; Gertrude 4, bNov 1895.
Do you have marriage dates for John & Mary M.?; parents of Mary? .
Oliver & Mary? Allen, son of John W. born 6 June 1894, married Hazel Wells 25
Nov, 1917
Oliver P. Burns, 74y d 8-14-1928, Princeton, IN, buried Sunset Hill Cem.,
Rockport IN.
Checked city directories1908-1910, did not find John W. Burns, (he could have
outside the city limits). The 1910 Evansville city directory under listing of
Lawyers, had a Burns & Alphson 112 1/2 W. 4th St.. Neither were listed in the
regular directory.
After the holidays, I might have time to check Allen's marriage application
and get more info on John W. Also found an obit for an infant of Mr. & Mrs.
Allan Burns d 8-6-21, buried Rockport. That's my good deed for today.
