Cyrus Putnam Burk

~• sometimes rendered Cyrus Burke (1860 census)

~• Part of the Jenneville community, until his house on French Hill, above the Sebastian C. Jenne farm, burned down. It seems he was a renter there in the 1860s. Sebastian Cabot Jenne came in the night leading a winter-time rescue of the family. This was all the more natural as Mr. Burk and Mr. Jenne were kinfolk through the Cabot line.

~• from the Vermont Journal (Bradford, Vermont)15 Sep 1883, SatPage 5:
"We noticed a fine pair of fat oxen owned by Mr. C.P. Burk on their way to market Monday. Between the Burks, Britons and the Frenches, all the good eating beef is gathered up and sent to Boston while all the grass fed steers and farrow cows are only left to grace our country carts."
