Description:
Portrait of Viola and Charles Burgess, siblings of Theodore Sr., as children. John Burgess: "Charles...died. They were members of a band and he died by drowning in the state of Maine. He went through the ice. And to tell you a story about this - my grandmother was living in Mt.

And the next day we got the message that Charlie had been drowned."
