I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eddie C. BURLINGAME which was taken at the J. W. Bruce Studio in Providence, RI. Eddie is noted as 2 years old at the time the photograph was taken, most likely in the 1870's or 1880's. Thanks to the assistance of researchers I was able to gather the following information regarding Eddie and his family: Edward Clemence BURLINGAME was b. 9 Sept 1876 in Providence, RI to parents Cyrus Allen BURLINGAME (b. 1845 in RI- d. 11 Jan 1929 in South Bend, IN - son of Cyrus A. BURLINGAME and Lucy A. BLANCHARD) and Evelyn or Evaline Nancy CLEMENCE (b. 1848 in RI-d. 25 Jul 1909 in Allen Co., IN - dau of George CLEMENCE and Nancy IRISH). Eddie was their only child. The family was living in Philadelphia, PA in 1880 and by 1900 they were in South Whitley, IN. By 1910 Eddie's Mother had died and his father was living with Eddie and is first wife Velma. Eddie was married twice, first to Velma HOLLER in Whitley, IN on 23 Sept 1905; and second to Harriet Ann GUNDER SCHUMAKER (daughter of Emanuel GUNDER and Miss SUTHERLAND) in St. Joseph, MI on 19 Nov 1921. He married Harriet after serving time in prison from 1918 until just before they married. Eddie and Velma did not appear to have any children and were divorced before 1913 when she remarried. Eddie did have child with Harriet, a daughter Dorothy Phyllis BURLINGAME b. 19 Jul 1923 in Fort Wayne, IN. Eddie's daughter Dorothy died in Indiana on 2 Jul 1996, she was married to John Frank THOMAS Jr. on 8 May 1942 in Fort Wayne, IN and her husband died in Knox, IN in 1993. Dorothy's obituary listed one daughter, Joanne LEONARD of Fort Wayne, IN. Eddie was living in Fort Wayne, IN in December 1915 when he was arrested for check fraud. He was previously convicted of forgery and was on parole at the time. Eddie had been in trouble with the law for years at that time, in prison at least twice for a variety of crimes, often stealing autos, he was addicted to drugs and finally surrendered to police telling the court he was broken of spirit and in failing health. Eddie died in St. Joseph, IN on 20 Jun 1941 and was listed as divorced at that time. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this beautiful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
