  Family	Adaline D. Cunningham,   b. Abt 1844, Indiana, USA ,   d. Between 1893 and 1895, Gove County, Kansas, USA  (Age ~ 49 years)
  Married	23 Apr 1887	Gove County, Kansas, USA   [3, 4]
  	I believe this must be the correct couple, although I am at a loss to explain Adeline's surname of Blackmer, unless it was from a previous marriage; or unless she was perhaps not Adeline Cunningham, but another Adeline in the family. Clearly she wrote to Cora Emma Roush and talked about mutual relatives. It is unlikely, particularly given the scarcity of the name Burnham in the Gove County records, that there could have been another Burnham married to an Adeline. The date of the marriage coincides more or less with the known earliest date of their residence in that area.

• Notes

  W.D. BURNHAM, 77, Grinnell Twp, white, male, b NY Supporting the idea that this W.D. BURNHAM is the husband of Adeline Cunningham BURNHAM, is the fact that the letters (copies in my possession) from Adeline to her niece, Cora Emma Roush DeBOARD, were written from Gove Co KS at this period of time. This is the only BURNHAM in the county. [5]
