I've "rescued" an old photograph of Nellie E. BURNE of Ellicottville, NY which was taken at the Bronson Studio in Lima, NY and dated with the Class of 1895 at Genessee Wesleyan Seminary. Nellie appears to be in her teens at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Nellie and her family: Nellie E. BURNE was b. 11 Nov 1874 in Rochester, NY to parents Walter E. BURNE (b. 1839) and Mary M. HEATH (b. 1844). Nellie was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Emma E.; Lula or Loula Sophia; Dora Mary; Nellie E.; Edwin "Eddie" W.; Florence Belle; and Maud Alena; Bertie; and Herman Cheever BURNE, all born between 1865 and 1886. Nellie married Walter E. RASEY (1858-1944) and she had one daughter, Helen M. RASEY (1907-1967). Nellie died 16 Apr 1950 in Ellicottville, NY and is buried in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY. Her obituary indicates that she had one daughter, Miss Helen RASEY of Sonyea, NY and two sisters, Mrs. Otto HUNZIKER of La Grange, IL; Mrs. Harry STARR of Bradford, NY who survived her.
