  Family	Burt, Anna,   b. Jan 1892, Pennsylvania, USA d. 9 Sep 1913, Uniontown, Fayette, Pennsylvania, USA (Age 21 years)
  Marriage	20180812 HAv- from photo "Ordway, Philis Edith 2yrsold...": Tina Johnson Daughenbaugh Belinda DeFlorian Green, I also found the death certificate on Ancestry. My guess is that she was buried on private property. I also see that Henry Cornelius was the informant. He is my 1st cousin, 3x's removed. He was married to Anna Burt, no doubt related to the Ethel Burt that is listed as the mother of Phillis. And how sad for that little girl...:(. Like · Reply · 12h ,,, Belinda DeFlorian Green Right. Anna was married twice. She married Henry and then a Backus. Here is the article about her death. Like · Reply · 12h Belinda DeFlorian Green That's really small....let me see if I can make it bigger. The man she was with actually killed himself not long after. They arrested him at first thinking he killed her....after they released him he too killed himself.
