John Emery Burr was the eldest of seven children of John Pierre Burr and Hester Elizabeth Emory. Like his parents and siblings, he was an active social reformer and abolitionist in Philadelphia. He lived for a short while with his wife in Bridgeport, Fairfield Co, CT. It is assumed his remains were reinterred at Eden Cemetery in Collingdale PA in 1903 after Lebanon Cemetery was condemned in the cause of urban renewal in 1899.
