I am receiving any mail from this list, this is just a test to see if I get it back from the list

Dear Sondra, Received your email, just seems things have been very slow on the website due to it being summer. Wait till fall & winter hits again, and email traffic will pick up as people are stuck in their homes.

This is just a note to let you know that Elva May (Evelyn) Burgess Payne Ennes died today, July 9, 2004, at about noon. She was residing at the Cherrydale Nursing Home in Arlington, VA. She was my father's mother. Elva May Burgess was the daughter of Edwin Burgess and Katie Wines. She was born, raised, and married in Fauquier Co., on a farm near New Baltimore. She was born 27 OCT 1913 and married Ross Asbury Payne of Arlington on 3 JUN 1930. Ross was a hostler, and after a few months in New York, on Long Island, Grandma wanted to come back to VA to have her first child. My father, Ross Elwood, was born 9 DEC 1931 at The Plains, Fauquier Co., VA. They moved to Arlington Co. soon after and Grandma lived there for most of her life. Grandma was 90 years, 8 mos., and 12 days. She had Altzheimers, and just had surgery for a broken hip. But I really think, as they said in the old records, she died of old age. She will be buried in National Memorial Cemetery, Falls Church, beside her two husbands. Brenda Lynne Payne Rose PS - If you have Edwin Burgess m. to Martha Mattie Utterback, please correct it. Martha was m. to his older brother, George Washington Burgess. If you have seen the marriage license for Katie Wines and Edward Burgess, it is wrong! Edward was Edwin's twin and apparently never married. But Edwin and Katie were married, had children, and are buried together in Warrenton Cemetery. Check census records, or their children's birth and marriage records for verification. I didn't know Edwin, as he died in 1948, but I knew my great-grandma Katie Burgess. She also lived to be 90+ and I attended her funeral in Feb., 1971. Brenda
