Born the 2nd son of Warren Joseph Burnham and Eliza Rollette. Married twice; Jennie Calkins and Louise West. Had two boys Bertran "Bernie" Worth Jr. and Laddie Budworth Burnham Olson, with Jennie Calkins.

He is the grandfather of Chloe Jeanne Olson Shackley, my wife. It is believed that her father was never legally adopted by his stepfather, George Olson, so legally her surname would be Burnham.

It was not until Bert's second wife Louise passed away, that Bert again make contact with his 2nd son's family in California. He would make yearly trips to visit starting in 1975.

In 2011, Chloe & I visited his grave site. It is lovely at the side of a lake.

Many thanks to Bill Hart for taking the picture of the gravestone and posting it on FAG.
