He had married Flora Rogers between 1880 & 1883. Flora died about 1890, according to Tolman's obituary. Tolman and Flora had a daughter named Flossie b. Sept/1884.I would appreciate any information on Flossie and/or the burial place of her Mother, Flora Rogers Burton. I have information to share on Flora Rogers family. Nancy I have a few notes from transcripts of "The Higbee News". I also have that Flossie died in 1953 and, according to "Records of Randolph County, Missouri 1833-1964" by Sherida K. Eddlemon, she is buried in the Burton Cemetery on Route B, Southeast of Higbee. Her mother Flora and sister Opal are also buried there. Flora and Opal both died in 1887. 25 Dec 1897--Higbee, MO, Dec 23, 1897--Dear Santa Claus--As Xmas is coming I want you to know what I want, I thought the best way was to write to you. I want a gold watch chain, some games, a fairy story book, a little writing desk, a gold ring, a magic lantern and a pair of kid gloves. I will close my letter now and learn my lessons for school. Your friend, FLOSSIE G. BURTON. 11 Nov 1898--Little Flossie Burton had the misfortune to fall and break her right limb while at play Friday evening of last week. This makes the fourth time she has met with such an accident. Drs. Nichols and Burkhalter set the limb and report her as getting along nicely. 18 Nov 1898--ROOM 4--Since our last notes quite a serious accident has befallen one of our pupils. Last Friday week little Flossie Burton, shortly after returning home from school, fell and broke her right limb. She was running and playing with two of her little friends, when she stepped on a clod which turned under her foot, throwing her to the ground, causing the above accident. This accident will probably keep Flossie out of school this winter, but we hope she will be with us sooner. Flossie is an excellent pupil and we keenly feel her loss. Friday 29 May 1920, Vol 34, No 6--The many Higbee friends of Miss Flossie Burton, who has been living at Columbia for the past year, where she has a good position in one of that city's best photograph galleries, in which line of work she is an expert, will be pained to learn that she broke her right hip in a fall down stairs one day this week, her fall resulting from her ankle turning. She was taken at once to a hospital, and has since been doing nicely. As a child Miss Burton suffered more than her share of misfortune from broken bones, having broken arms or limbs a half dozen times or more. The present break makes the second time her hip has been broken. Her many friends join the NEWS in the hope that she will suffer no more such misfortunes. Carole
