1838 - 1915  (~ 76 years)

• Name	Samantha A. McMichael
  Nickname	Helen
  Birth	Dec 1838	Bushnells Basin, Monroe County, New York
  Gender	Female
  Death	18 Jan 1915	South Bristol, Ontario County, New York
  Burial	Rose Ridge Cemetery, Naples, Ontario County, New York
  Notes	South Bristol - Mrs. Samantha Burnham, aged 77 years, passed peacefully away on Monday, January 18, 1915, at the home of her son, Charles Lee. She had been a patient sufferer since last October, and all was done that loving hands could do, but to no avail. She leaves to mourn her loss one daughter, at Oak field; three sons, Charles Lee, of this place; William Lee, of Naples, and one whose whereabouts are not known. Burial will be made in Rose Ridge cemetery, Naples. (The Naples Record, Wednesday, January 20, 1915) Samantha A. McMichael (later Mrs. William C. Lee and Mrs. John R. Burnham) was known by both Samantha and Helen in her later years. Evidence suggests that relatives from her McMichael family continued to identify her as Samantha, while members of her local community in the Naples/Academy area commonly referred to her as Helen Burnham. Newspaper notices from 1902 demonstrate simultaneous use of both names, indicating that Helen was an alternate or familiar name.
