    3. The following are some death certificates that I have found that I have not yet posted. Billie Jones Camden, SC [email protected] ------------------------------------------------ 1934 - Death Cert. #17658, Greenwood Co, SC David Compton Burnett Male, white, child b. 1931, age 3, SC father: D. P. Burnett, SC mother: Lottie Gunter, SC d. Nov. 19, 1934, Greenwood, Greenwood Co, SC cause: Laryngeal Diptheria informant: Sam Burnett, Saluda, SC buried: Good Hope [Baptist Church, Saluda Co, SC] UT: Blyth's Funeral Home Would like more info. to help me attach him to his line of Burnetts. He is buried in Good Hope Baptist, Saluda Co, SC with the following, who seem to be his parents per his death certficate. Burnett, David P. Apr 8 1889 Nov 8 1973 Burnett, Lottie GUNTER Jul 17 1902 January 15, 1997 Burnett, David Compton Aug 29 1931 Nov 19 1934 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1936 - Death cert. #10657, Edgefield Co, SC Ida Anna Cooper Watson Female, white, married to Milton Watson b. ____, 84 yrs, Edgefield Co, SC father: Frank Cooper, Edgefield Co, SC mother: Lizzie Johnson, Alabama d. July 29, 1936, Moss township, Edgefield Co, SC cause: arteriosclerosis; High blood pressure; died suddenly informant: S. M. Watson, Edgefield Co, SC buried: Berea Church UT: B. B. Jones, Edgefield Co, SC Boy did I goof here, as I originally read the age as 34 when transcribing. According to the cem. records she is age 84, which works to connect her to her parents. Berea Baptist Church, Edgefield Co, SC records the following: Watson, Milton A. Mar 8 1847 Dec 20 1915 Watson, Ida COOPER Mar 27 1852 Jul 29 1936 Earlier I sent the following death cert., which seems to be that of her sister: 1936 - Death Cert. #19674, Greenwood Co, SC Mrs. Mamie Cogburn Female, White, widow of J. Q. Cogburn b. Oct. 25, 1856, Greenwood Co, SC* father: F. V. Cooper, SC mother: Elizabeth Johnston, Ala. d. Dec. 30, 1936, Kirksey, Greenwood Co, SC cause: (can't figure it out) informant: Mrs. H. D. Wheeler, Callison, SC buried: Kirksey, SC UT: Ellis Funeral Home, Greenwood, SC Note that both of the informants state that the mother was born in AL. Other items fit as well, so I am concluding that Ida Anna Cooper Watson also is a daughter of Frank V. Cooper and Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Johnson. CENSUS: 1860 Edgefield Co, SC, Dyson Mill Po, hh#378/380 Reuben Cooper, 72 M Farmer SC [probably Frank's father] F. V. Cooper, 32 M Farmer SC E. J. Cooper, 29 F SC I. A. Cooper, 8 F SC Mary W. Cooper, 4 F SC Wm. R. Cooper, 1 M SC Henry Steifle, 21 M Shoemaker SC Another poor transcription on the LDS CD's and I had to go thru all the Coopers. This looks like Frank V. Cooper and family in 1880 Cooper township, Edgefield, SC, p. 130B [Source: FHL Film 1255228 National Archives Film T9-1228] Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace I V COOPER Self M M W 52 SC Occ: Farmer Fa: SC Mo: SC Lisy COOPER Wife F M W 49 SC Occ: Keeping House Fa: SC Mo: SC William COOPER Son M S W 21 SC Occ: Field Hand Fa: SC Mo: SC John COOPER Son M S W 17 SC Occ: Field Hand Fa: SC Mo: SC Samual COOPER Son M S W 14 SC Occ: Field Hand Fa: SC Mo: SC Henry COOPER Son M S W 11 SC Occ: At Home Fa: SC Mo: SC ---------------------------------------------- 1936 - Death Cert. #10648, Edgefield Co, SC Thomas Williams Male, White, married, Farmer, lived in (Chorea), SC b.
