Burford Ancestors - Generation 4 - Adelbert Smith Burford

Adelbert Smith "Deb" Burford was born 17 August 1899 in Illinois

Deb was the first son of Alexander Oscar Burford, Jr. and Lora Gibson Burford.

Deb married Florence Mae Reynolds 25 December 1927, in Clay County, Arkansas, daughter of Fred Reynolds and Ethel Casto. She was born 10 January 1908 in Poplar Bluff, Butler County, Missouri, and died in 1963 in St. Louis City, Missouri.
 
CHILDREN of ADELBERT BURFORD and FLORENCE REYNOLDS are:  

i. LaNorma Flo Burford, born 29 September 1929, died May 1987, Illinois.

Florence Burford died in 1963, age 54.
She is buried in Park Lawn Cemetery Lemay, St. Louis County, Missouri
Her son "Del" (everyone in the family has always called him "Bud") is named on her gravestone. Her FindAGrave memorial says he is buried with her.

Adelbert Smith Burford died 06 January 1968.

I have not been able to find any burial records for Uncle Deb. I added a FindAGrave memorial for him, anyway, so that he would be listed among Alexander and Lora's children.
This picture of Deb and Florence was taken in Watervliet, Michigan, in 1956.
