Notes - c1896 BIRTH,MG: Melvin Burden born about 1896, estimated birth year based on estimated marriage year; never married.
HIST: Feb 1956 letter from Thelma Burden, from Aunt Minnie, daughter of Levi Burden, to Mary Gray Marks, Eads doc #14: "Uncle Bill and his wife were separated... Uncle Bill had very little companionship with his son Melvin... Melvin is a fine man but completely dominated by his mother.
My husband Homer hunts and fishes with Melvin a great deal. Aunt Maggie is failing rapidly and when she goes Melvin will be helpless as she has been the boss all these years...
In spite of everything, Melvin was sure good to his daddy all the time and he has a lovely marker [grave stone]. Melvin is about the same age as my brother Emery."
