Nellie's birthplace was noted for its church, a more ethnic version of Utica's Presbyterian, at times called a Scottish Presbyterian. The two maybe shared a minister, but the local farmers more likely to be on time after morning chores when the church as only 2 miles away instead of 6. Multiple Scottish immigrants were among its first parishioners, farming names in the Fremont church's cemetery including Henry and Roberton.
The surname Burt can be Scottish, so said some old Scottish dictionary (stumbled upon in an Austin TX library years ago, and now not findable),
The name Burt had to do with Scottish coal mining and its occupations, also true of the names Burns and Barr. Remembered by this writer as Brrr names, given a small amount of coal added to a stove, one can warm one up in a Minnesota winter. Her eldest sister had a name used in families knowing Scottish cloth-dying methods, their tweeds famous. Permelia was used for a child expected to be a dark-haired beauty, taken from the Latin names of some vegetation gathered for dyes that looks black when dried. If she had a twin with rosy cheeks or a reddish cast to her hair, the twin might be Rosetta, named for roses.
Her spouse 's page has some details about his family. His parents had gone to Dodge County's historic place of Wasioja when they had him as their first and only child. The church of his father Albert Lewis and pioneering grandfather Jonathan Smith Lewis, aka Smith, had been the Brethren one a bit eastward, many of their burials there.
