FAMILY PHOTOS OF THE BUROW FAMILY
christina Burow
Here is a little family background to help sort through these photos. Gary & Terry's mother was Delores Burow Frank; she passed away on December 2, 1971. Delores's father was Elmo Burow, and Elmo's father was Charles F. Burow, called Charley; Gary thinks Charley, his great grandfather, may have been the camera bug, because he is not in many pictures.

Elk Creek, Neb., October 11, 1930
April 1930, the W.C.T.U. [Women's Christian's Temperance Union] gave me the honor o be chairman of the WCTU and to cheer shut ins and sick with flowers.

Hoping you will enjoy this flower garden years and years after I have passed. From a sunshine friend, to Lois Miller, with love.

Historical Society member Jeanette Lauritsen labored to transcribe the words on the back and came up with this, which member Luella Hinrichsen concurs:
To Wayne when you was home on furlough from the Army. From Grand Parent Mr & Mrs C F Burow. Taken in Humboldt your home From Grandparents C F Burow.
Gary Frank says that C. F. Burow was Charles Burow. He had sons Carl and Elmo.
Kari Cumro Kanel says of Wayne, "There was a Wayne Burow from Humboldt. He passed away a few years ago. He lived on Long Branch Street in the house Mezger's own. His wife passed away last year." Jackie Uhri added, "You are correct. I worked with Wayne at Cooper Feed (shows my age!)" Heather Duryea said, "His daughter is Cindy. She still lives in Humboldt."
