Married Evie Jane McDonald when his younger son was about 4 years old, I think. His sons are Edmund and Harry Burns.
Uncle Penny was a fun-loving man that nipped on the bottle once in a while. Aunt Mott said he and Aunt Jane would come to visit for a few days and he would hide his whiskey bottle out in their chicken coop. He loved baseball and went to games often with Aunt Jane. Aunt Jane would get her score card and keep her scores during games.
One funny story he would tell was that when they lived in Panola County he was the song leader at their little church in Tenaha, Texas. During one summer month he taught a singing school class that had a soon to be celebrity by the name of Woodward Maurice Ritter. Uncle Penny would laugh and kid around about teaching Tex Ritter how to sing. Tex was born and raised in a small community near Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo, and Blair. That was a song Tex recorded back in the 40's.
He often said he loved Aunt Janie to death and it showed.
