I only know a little about my Great Grandmother Burton. I was 2 years old when she died. She only spoke Swedish; and I'm guessing that my Great Grandfather only spoke English. There was a picture of her holding me in a rocking chair, but that picture is not in my possession. In the picture is a mantle clock that has different chimes from each quarter hour. My Grandfather Joseph, her son, bought that for her because she was blind at that time. I am blessed to have that mantle clock in my home.
Additionally, Helen Burton was a Swedish immigrant, who came to this country as a very young woman.
I have learned recently through a conversation with my cousin John Dane Burton, that Helen Swenson Burton was living with his Father, Leon John Burton (LJ) in Waco, TX at the time of her death. Not too long ago John Dane and his family moved into that very same house and have been renovating it.
I have given that mantle clock to John Dane Burton in 2015. The clock was originally given to my Great Grandmother, who is John's Grandmother.
