Am hoping someone can help me with a problem I have. I have information that my g-grandfather died in Nebraska, but do not know the town or county. Since Nebraska did not start recording deaths until later, they cannot help me. There was a posibility that he died in Stanton, NE so wrote to the courthouse there and received a nice letter stating they had no records regarding it. If someone else is searching this Burch and has the info, I would appreciate hearing from you. Am also trying to find out if his wife Phoebe Funk Burch died in Marion Co. IA or NE.   BURCH, William Benham - s/o Robert      Benham Burch & Anne Nichols    b:25 Feb 1822 - Barren Co. KY    d:26 Aug 1900 - NE (no town or county)    m:12 June 1849 - Sara Jane Kinslow    m:10 Nov 1859 - Pheba/Phoebe Funk   BURCH, Pheba/Phoebe Funk - d/o      Joseph Perry Funk    b:17 June 1837 - Crawford Co. IN    d:22 Sept 1897 - IA or NE ? Would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks - - - ~~Bev in Oregon~~ "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.

Ok, this is just a thought and I have no reason for it. Robert Benham Burch and his wife are buried at Franklin Butte Cemetery in Linn County, OR.,,,,,,,, along with Mary E. Burch Shilling, zzzjscob Shilling, her husband. S. Olive Shilling Funk, Joseph T. Funk, Guy Funk, Ida L. Funk Arnold and her husband Melvin O. Arnold. At another nearby Cemetery called Miller Cemetery,,(same County) we have the following graves for FUNK, Danny, Derral D. Howard, Ivan C. John S. Mary M. and Stormy Lee II. My thought is that William Benham and his wife may have followed the rest of the familys west to Oregon. I know that some of the BURCH familys were in Benton, Linn, Polk and Marion Countys of Oregon. There is a Cemetery in Polk County that is know as the "Old Burch Cemetery" it is Aouth and East of the small town of Rickreall.
