Walter Burgess
I have a photograph (posted at http://www.nexxie.0catch.com/gen/burgess.htmlhttp://www.nexxie.0catch.com/gen/burgess.html) of a young man who is apparently named Walter Burgess. The picture is from the early 1900s and was found in a box of photos belonging to my great-grandmother. I believe he was a friend rather than a relation. He is wearing a distinctive lapel pin. My family comes from Southern Illinois, specifically Union and Jackson Counties. I assume this young man is also from that area.
