Hi Sharon,

If nothing does materialise on here - would the Obit Volunteer e-mail link for Washington be worth a shot ?

Or could you write to the funeral home mentioned on the death cert and ask them to pass a message to a relative perhaps ?

Pruneau-Polli Funeral Home - 58 Summer St, Barre, VT 05641.

I tried the volunteer, but the email came back.

All of her children are deceased, so I don't think that would work, but if nothing comes about, with this post.   I could contact the funeral home, & maybe they could help.

Thanks  Susan for your  ideas.

That was a pity.  ::)  would she not have grandchildren/ great-grandchildren  ?

In 1940 Brookfield East Hill Brookfield, Orange, Vermont shows Delia with Delos Burrell. On the same census is Chester G Burrell, his wife and children.  One of those children is Pauline M Burrell aged 3 months. Grand-daughter of Delos and Delia.

Delos D Burrell  48 (deceased 1967)  Delia M Burrell  46 (deceased 1985 - nee Dupuis)
Paul R Burrell  15 (deceased 2007)
Chester G Burrell  26 (deceased 1983)
Gladys I Burrell  25 (deceased 2013)
Wayne Burrell  3 (now deceased - 1936 - 1953)
Phillip Burrell  2 (now deceased - 1957)
Pauline M Burrell  3 months. (now deceased - 2001 )

FIND A GRAVE - Chester, Gladys, Wayne and Phillip Burrell -

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSiman=1&GScid=1982005&GSfn=&GSln=burrell

Pauline M Burrell married Obel H Wells - on the death cert for Pauline her other name was "Suzie "
Presume she was the informant on the death cert for Delia  ???
The funeral home for Pauline "Suzie" Wells was a different one but it is listed - could be another avenue to investigate.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KN9Z-VJZ

Pauline M Burrell Wells is listed on the Daily Times Obituary Index.

Pauline M "Suzie" (Burrell) 61 years -  Berlin VT -  Burlington F P; 2001-7-9; pboro

http://obits.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/obit.cgi?Surname=WELLS%2C%20Pauline%20M%20%22Suzie%22%20(BURRELL)&type=Keyword

Obit for Pauline's husband Obel H Wells confirms the address of Ridgewood Terrace which was the informant Suzie Wells address on Delia's death cert.

You could try contacting the local library.  http://www.aldrichpubliclibrary.org/contact-us/  Sometimes, libraries will do look-ups.

Thanks Sandra for all the info.  I will see if I can  get in contact with someone.

Someone has put a family tree on ancestry, so I will try contacting that person too.
