My husband's grandmother was Lelia Pope Burnett. She died before he was born so he never knew her and we have very little info on her. But I do remember the relatives talking about Aunt Sophie and I noticed in Toni Napier's posts that she listed both a Lelia and a Sophie as some of the children of Anna Elizabeth and John Pope. Our Lelia married John Burnett in Minnesota. They came to Oregon and homesteaded on land in Crook County in 1909. I'm not sure if that is when they first arrived from Minnesota or if they had been somewhere else in Oregon for a while. She and John had four children: Vi, Melvin, Merlin ('Red'-my father-in-law), and Eddie. All of them are gone now. Leila died in Harrisburg, Oregon about 1947 or 48. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Alice Burnett Sweet Home, Oregon
