Paula Bacon Precure You might find this link of interest. The gentleman featured is the Burden historian. His e-mail address is shown the article, as well as the link to his web page. http://www.kake.com/news/features/4/279006.html By the way, in 1942, a Mr. & Mrs. R.A. Burden were living in Latham, Butler County, not to many miles from the town of Burden. Don't know if this ties in or not. Their son, Esli Burden, was recently married, in October, 1942. We are reading newspaper microfilms from Latham newspapers, and the town of Burden is mentioned quite often, as is this Burden family. Gary & Mary Lee Presson, Wichita.
