Addendum

Mary Grace and Helen have brought it to my attention that Betsy moved into their new home on Jewell when she became ill. EA and Gussie finished their house in 1926 and Betsy died in 1927. Around the same time Bill and Ada also moved to Jewell, but a block away from the Burkhardts.

At the left is a photo of Betsy who looks like the quintessential grandmother. Helen and Mary Grace who were 6 and 3 when Betsy died remember her fondly. Mary Grace says that unlike their Grandmother Burkhardt, Betsy always remembered their names. Grandmother Burkhardt referred to them only as Edgar's kids.

I want to thank our rediscovered English relatives for restoring this photograph of Betsy. Bruce H., who's married to a descendant of Edward's brother, removed the years of mishandling of the photograph.
