Burton was born in Brower, Multnomah, Oregon:
Brower was a mill town during the late 1890s.
According to "Oregon Geographic Names" (McArthur and McArthur, 2003):
"... Brower was the name of a post office in the hills about two miles south-southeast of Bridal Veil at the north base of Pepper Mountain.
It was named for George W. Brower, who, with Eldridge H. Thompson, had a logging and lumber business thereabouts in the 1890s.
Brower post office was established December 20, 1889, with Robert C. Bell first postmaster. The office was closed December 22, 1896. ... "

This one, shown as Barton Beegle, is actually Burton L. Beegle, my uncle. The full name was Burton Linton Beegle.
He was head of the mathematics dept. at Seattle Pacific College (now University), was an ordained minister, and had served as a missionary to the Panama Canal Zone. He was born 23 Mar 1892; died 12 Apr 1960.
BTW, I wonder if this is the only gravestone for Uncle Burton. Might seem like a strange question, but it seems odd to me that this very brief one would be the only one. (Submitted by Grace Beegle Inman FAG visitor from Georgetown, GA
