| Notes for Nellie Elizabeth Burke |
| Regarding our grandmother (paternal) her name was either Nell (Nellie) Eliz(s)abeth Burke or first name of Ellen (for which Nellie might be a legitimate nickname). Have no proof of either version. Had no notion of the Ellen name until after 1960. She was always Granda Nellie to us. But my mom said that when we visited in 1960, essentially on her deathbed, Nellie said that she disliked that name and prefered to be called by her "real name". Which I thought was Elizabeth but may have been Ellen. What I do remember is that Grandma smiled a ton when my mom called her by the preferred name, and said "no one has called me that in many years." |
