ROBERT "Bob" BURGESS
AUSTA "Austie" SMACK
FAMILY


The photo was taken before Aug 25, 1941. I'd say around 1940-41.

ROBERT ORVILLE BURGESS "Bob" was born July 15, 1885 Thursday, in Hardins Creek, Fairfield twp, Highland Co., Ohio, and died d. August 25, 1941, Monday, 5:30 AM, Centerfield, Highland Co., Ohio age 56 yrs - perforated gastoric ulcer, buried Aug 27, 1941 Bridges Cemetery, Fairfield twp, Highland County, Ohio, son of ELI MILNER BURGESS & IDA MAY TODHUNTER.
He married - Marriage license: December 16, 1913, # 1030 - Ross Co., Ohio, (married 27 yrs) to
AUSTA "Austie" SMACK b. March 10, 1881 Thursday, in Concord twp, Ross County, Ohio, and d. August 21, 1958, Thursday, 10:00 AM - Greenfield Hospital, Greenfield, Madison twp, HC, OH age 77 yrs - coronary occlusion due to arteriosclerosis, buried August 24, 1958 Bridges Cemetery, Fairfield twp, Highland Co., OH, daughter of SILAS W. SMACK and CATHARINE "ANNA" HESTER.

Notes for AUSTA SMACK:
Her birth certificate list full name as Austa Smack. Yet I've heard she used the middle name of "Darnell". I've not seen it on anything yet. Her death Certificate has Austa D. Burgess. 2002 Aunt Ruth thinks the middle name may have been DeVore. **I could have swore she was the one who told me Darnell years ago. ======================================
On the marriage certificate of Austa and Bob Burgess, in 16 Dec 1913, Ross County, Ohio she list her birth as Bourneville, OH (Twin twp), her birth certificate says she was born in Concord twp, she list on th marriage certificate that her residence as Thrifton, OH. ((Buckskin twp)); she list her Occupation stenographer. Father - Silas Smack, Mother - Anna Hester. =========================================
m. (1) HORACE HUFF, Bef. 1912, no ch - div'd;

I've been told Austie was m (1) to Horace Huff but divorced him because he was an alcoholic. I've seen no certificate of this marriage. She met Bob when Bob came over to have a few beers with Horace. I "think" she was just living with Horace. Austa was a "crack shot" with a pistol, she was politically minded and wrote under the alias "Sally" at times. She also wrote poetry. She ran a filling station and grocery store located in Centerfield, Ohio. Unsure when she started the store business. Probably in the WWII time? She was 33 years of age when she had her first child. Bob Burgess was 29 years old. Within 9 years and 5 months they'd have a total of seven children. Close to 43 years of age she had my father, John Henry Burgess, her last child.

To date, 1991, of their 19 grandchildren, 17 grew to adulthood, 15 have married, 14 have children, 6 have divorced and 2 have remarried. They have 28 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.

Update: 2004, of the 17 Grandchildren: now 15 have married once; 10 div'd; 4 remarried, 1 div'd again, 15 have had children.

Of the Great Grandchildren: Now 30 of them: 11 have married, 2 div'd, 1 div'd again; 12 have children.

There are 20 known Great Great Grandchildren, 15 of these from John Henry's family and the other 5 from Ruth Deluca's. 1 of these had married and has two children.

There are 2 known Great Great Great Grandchildren, both from John Henry's family.

=========================================
Bob Burgess owned a garage in Centerfield, Ohio. He was very mechanical. Someone said he had sketches and drawings that were for the hydrolic or electronic brakes. After his death no one knew what he had invented. Not long after they were patented by another. Bob's sons Billy & John also have this mechanical talent as does John's son Jon Willis "Bill" Burgess.
Bob and Austa are buried at Bridges Cemetery once better known as the Hardins Creek Cemetery and even the Milner Family Graveyard. Austa used to take me to church with her. I guess we attended a Quaker church, the Centerfield Friends Church. It was only across the road from her home and store. When our family traveled to Centerfield from Sylvania, Ohio, us kids knew we were close to Grandma's house when we started going through the covered bridges for which "Bridges" was named. Centerfield is half way between Bridges and Greenfield.

Austa's Home and Store - Centerfield, OH

No idea when this photo was taken. I remember the house and store. And being little I was fasinated with all the pretty bottle caps they were on the ground. Now I'm not sure "where". Inside or out? :) I believe the store-house burnt down in a fire. Not sure the last time I was there. Grandmother Austa died when I was 9 years old in 1958. I remember once she took a broom upstairs to kill and chase out the bats before we went to bed! I remember seeing the dead ones on that porch the next morning. The house had no inside plumbing. The outhouse was over at Aunt Beaulah's. I did not like chamber pots! I remember sipping water from a bucket with a metal ladle when I was thirsty. I've never tasted water like that since and maybe it's because they had a natural spring well. The Bridges area was known for it's many streams. Many bridges had to be built to cross them. We knew the trip to Grandma's house was a long car ride and we'd get happy when we started seeing and going over the covered bridges in the area. "We're close to Grandma's house!"
