Eleanor is buried with her parents and young brother, George Miller Burgess (1876-1879).

All of the other children linked to Eleanor's father go with the William George Burgess (1839-1911) who is #160995597. However, someone tried to tell me I had the wrong father.

In the 1900 U.S. Census, Eleanor was living in Washington, DC, with her widowed mother, Elmira, and her siblings, Elmira and William.

In the 1910 U.S. Census, Gurnon and Eleanor were living in Washington, DC, and he was a "printing company printer."
