91. Walter C. Burket was born in 1849 in of Allegheny Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania. Age 1 on the 1850 Census Allegheny, Somerset, Pennsylvania page 156 He appeared in the census in 1870 in Allegheny Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania. Age 21 and listed as Walter B Burkhart and living with his older brother Cyrus. Both he and Cyrus are 'Tye Makers.' Is that for railroad tyes? I am sure. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Summit Township, Somerset, Pennsylvania. This is our Walter. Wife is listed as Darthy (Dora on 1870 census). Walter is a Miner. They have five girls ranging 1-10. Where is Summit? Close to Allegheny?

FamilySearch has him listed and indexed as Walter W. Burke but that is wrong. Look at the original. Plus, the info matches with Walter's info on the 1870. Walter appeared in the census in 1910 in Meyersdale, Somerset, Pennsylvania. Age 61 in 1910 on Miracode Index. Wife Darthy is 60 He was buried in 1934 in Meyersdale Union Cemetery, Meyersdale, Somerset, Pennsylvania. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pasomers/cemetery/su/sumeun.htm
