Burness Cecil and Alice Berry are buried at the Sunnyside Cemetery (Summit Ridge) in Dolores, Colorado. They were married June 12, 1909 in Yewed, OK. Mom was only 15 and my dad turned 21 in August. My mom's whole life was about having kids and raising a family, she had her first child at age 15 and her last at age 45. They are the beginning of our immediate family that produced 16 children and so many grandchildren I don't even know the count. The one count I do know is, there are 29 first cousins. Dad had four brothers, Herbert, Melvin, Loren and Clint. Mom had one sister, Amy (Rush) Delano.
They moved to Dolores in the winter of 1947/48 and we lived on the northeast corner of 9th Street and Hillside Avenue in Dolores. Whenever I look at these pictures I see two people that were very humble, but proud and gracious. My mom's eyes reflect the love she always had and my dad's seem to reflect the sadness and hardships in his life.
