Mary Etta had given birth to six children, all of whom were living with their parents in Spokane. Those children were: * Katherine (born 1882 in Colorado; may have had married name of "Hanford," and may have died 1980 in Longview, Kelso County, Washington;) * Robert Andrew (born 1884 in Spokane, Washington; married Theresa before 1917 and Ellen May before 1942; died 1948 in Humboldt County, California;) * William Henry Burns (1886-1947, born in Oregon;) * Gladys H.

Murray Edwin Burns (1898-1971; born in Spokane;) and, * Wallace Cedric Burns (1901-1970, born in Spokane.) By 1910 the family (Cyrus, Mary Etta, and four adult children: Robert, William, Gladys, and Cyrus, Jr.,) had moved to Tammany, Nez Perce County, Idaho, where Cyrus was self-employed as an "orchardist." The three sons who lived at home were employed as civil engineers. In 1920 the family (Cyrus, Mary Etta, and three adult children: Gladys, Col. Murray, and Wallace) lived in Lewiston, Nez Perce County. Cyrus (age 70) was not employed, but the children were: Gladys worked as a public school teacher; Murray and Wallace were engineers. Cyrus Burns died in Lewiston, Idaho, just 18 days after the family's 1920 US Census enumeration, and his body was taken to Spokane, Washington, for burial at Greenwood Memorial Park. By 1930 Mary Etta had moved to Green River, Utah, where she lived with her daughter Gladys, a school teacher. In 1935 and 1940 she lived with her niece, Elizabeth (Mrs. George) Gill, in Boise, Idaho. She died in Boise ten years later. -------------------------------------------- These "Burns" graves are located on Lawn-13: * Cyrus R. Burns (1849-1920,) * Mary Etta Tilsley (Mrs. C. R.)
