I'm not sure what year she was born, 1904 could be correct. She died in May 1985. Was married to Russell Edward (or Edwin) Burss. Her son (my father) was Russell William Burss. I do not recall hearing about an uncle named William who was originally from Canada, however I do know that there were relatives that lived in northern Wisconsin - I believe the City was Thorpe. Russell E's Brother was named Lee - lived in Milwaukee area and I know there were some other relatives living in or near the EauClaire, Wisconsin area in the 1970's
