[or-roots] BURR Family of Southern Oregon

[Bill & Chris Strickland]

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.

Bob and Ruby had a large family, and their children all had large
families -- this makes for a lot of descendants out there somewhere. Bob
and Ruby are buried in unmarked graves in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem.
Ruby was my grandmother's sister.

Thank you,
