Burr Family of Southern Oregon
Posted by: Bill Strickland Date: February 08, 2002 at 15:19:24
  of 1921

I am seeking contact with or information about anyone who may be related
to this Oregon family.

When the Burr family left Kansas in 1909 for Oregon, it was reportedly
to make their fortune logging. They would seem to have been subsistence
farmers in the early days, logging when the work was available, with
seasonal trips to the Yakima area of Washington State to pick apples.
After stays in several places in southern Oregon, they eventually
settled in Silverton, and the family spread out from there..

Sam and Roseeta had a large family, and most of their children all had large
families -- this makes for a lot of descendants out there somewhere. Sam
and Rosetta are buried in unmarked graves in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem.
Robert Orrin's wife, Ruby Mae (Casebolt) Burr, was my grandmother's sister,
and I am somewhat familiar with this branch of the family

Thank you,

Bill Strickland
Oregon City, OR
