Hi, This is Dawn Burgess, Marie's granddaughter, Milton Jr.'s daughter. I have more information that I can fill in for Marie.
Her siblings are, in order of age, Margaret, Charles F. Jr., John B. (J.B.), Dorothy, James Vernon, (Marie, middle child of 11), William (Billie), Jean, Edward, Gerald, and Barbara. I don't have all their birth dates, just approximations, but I do have a photo I could email you of Charles Sr., his wife Jane Louise Ross Burling, and all eleven kids lined up in order. Pretty cool picture; let me know if you want me to send it on. I have her father Charles's parents as William J. Buerling and Elizabeth Uhr, with birth dates, but nothing further for them. I have her mother Jane Louise Ross's parents as John Benjamin Ross (1849-1918) and Jennie Linn ("Jennylind" on her tombstone) Downs Ross (1851-1932), both buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Sanderson, TX.
Marie's husband, Milton Rudolph Smith (Sr.) was born 2 June 1918 in Del Rio, Val Verde county, TX. He died 23 May, 1987 in Alpine, Brewster county, TX, and is buried next to Marie in the same cemetery. His parents were James M. Smith, born in Del Rio, TX (date unknown), and Lilly Pearl Stone, also born in Del Rio. I've hit a brick wall with that line, can't find any info on either of them.
