Laurie,
Canada, Marion Co., KS caught my eye! I grew up 1.5 miles north of Canada
(where it's cold, as my father used to say!) I remember the name BURKHOLDER
in this community. Are Samuel BURKHOLDER and Eva REIS buried in Canada
Cemetery? The tiny unincorporated town of Canada was settled by immigrants
from Canada. A number of years ago it was featured in an article in the
Toronto Star about towns in the US named Canada.
