I'm looking for information on my grandfather, James Martin Burch. He was born December 15, 1861, Winslow, Pike County, Indiana. He married Minerva Frances Bohan Sept. 25, 1881 in Newport, Vernon County, MO, and he died April 3, 1932, Columbia, Boone County, MO. He and Minerva Frances had four children, Ira, Florence (both died young and I have no information on their dates of birth or death), Millard Franklin (lived a long time, but I have no information on him, either other than he was "Uncle Frank." Lastly, my mother, Alma Frances Burch who was born Nov 21, 1893 in Sedalia, Pettis County, MO, married Lee Wallen May 22, 1913, St. Louis, MO. They had two children,Lois Adele born May 4, 1914, in Franklin, MO, and me, Mary Lee born January 19, 1917, in Franklin, MO. Alma died Oct. 26, 1982 in Los Angeles, CA; buried Nov. 4, 1982 in St. Louis; Lee Wallen died April 11, 1974 in St. Louis. They are "entombed" together in St. Louis, Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, MO. That's all I have. I'm looking for information on James Martin Burch's parents and backward from them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mary Lee Thompson
