Lucius Tanner Burton, 1819 - 1909. Father of Dr. John Clement Burton.

Burton family researcher Bill Johnson has generously shared a number of photographs from his collection, featuring the family of Dr. John Clement Burton and his wife, Dora Ellen Miller. Dr. John was a physician and pharmacist in Oklahoma Indian Territory. His family owned a drug store in Stroud, Lincoln County, OK, for a number of years.

“Burton’s drug store had the distinction of being both the oldest establishment in Stroud, and the first to occupy a frame building in the city – the others using tents.” – The Stroud Democrat April 28, 1948.

According to one source, Dr. John’s full name was:  John Clement Elijah Taylor Levi Jeter Wright Burton.

His children were: Glade Clement Burton, Dora Vest Burton, Lucius Wesley Marmaduke Burton, Mabel Burton, Silva Caecile Burton, Nellie Aleann Burton, and Daisy Ethel Burton.

Bill is actively seeking cousins to trade data with, so if you have a Glade, or a Caecile, or a Lucius Wesley Marmaduke in your family you might be one of them. If you want to contact him, use this comment form, and your message will be passed along.
