Peggy Sorry my William J. Burke was the son of John Burke & Anna Judge Burke. He was born @ 1858. His wife was Margaret McDonnell Burke and they had 8 children: Annie, Thomas, John, William, Edmond, Sarah (*my grandmother), Margaret & Genevieve. He was a miner, mine inspector & postmaster in Minooka. He died in 1910 inspecting a mine when the roof collapsed. Thanks for thinking of me.
