  US Navy Veteran. Son of James and Florence Burton. Comments: Hello, I am a descendent of Grace Olive Trullinger, she was my great grandmother. I see that you have her grandson listed as unknown (my father) his name was James Galen Burton born June 6th 1926 to Florence Aitken and James G Burton(Diehl) and died March 27 2014. My fathers last name should have been Diehl as Graces first husband was Leo Kelley Diehl but they divorced and she remarried under the name Burton and the kids(James G and Clara) took on the Burton name. Any questions please let me know. I have more info Suzanne Scales sscales@savers.com from: Suzanne Scales to: Dave Drollinger date: Oct 6, 2021, 8:10 AM subject: RE: James Galen Diehl Jr (Drollingergenealogy.com website) Dave, Whew! Finally got some time to look at this. My father was born on the 11th of June(my error) I think I was thinking of D-Day which he was on the beaches of Normandy at the young age of 17 and turned 18 a few days later. My grandfather James Galen Diehl Burton Sr was born in 1906 and died in 1932 in Seattle Wa. While looking for a job he slipped and fell on the icy streets and hit his head on a car fender and died. He left his wife Florence Aitken Burton with two young children, my father and my Aunt Bonnie. I asked my mother about where Grace was buried and she could not remember which is weird for her because even at 99 she remembers everything! I am sure there are records somewhere as I believe she is buried in Everett WA, I checked on Find a Grave and could not find anything. I may have some info in all the boxes of records I have from my Mom, if I find anything I will let you know. Lake Stevens ? Wow yes it is a small world!! Short story speaking of small worlds ? My husband and I were living in Bonney Lake WA and had been living in the house for approx. 5 years when a young couple with two boys moved into the house behind ours, we made friends and spoke once and a while over the years. When my Father died in 2014 his half brother James Commrada attended the funeral with his wife. We got to talking and his wife?s son was related to the couple living behind us and in fact they had been there visiting in the past (RIGHT BEHIND US!) THAT is a small world ?? I have a lot of info on my mother?s side of the Family, would you be interested ? Thank you again for reaching out - - and I really appreciate anyone and everyone that has worked on this Genealogy for the Drollinger Family. [end]
