Polly Allen Burdett Interview 1979
Interviewed by Robert and Norma Stewart at Grandma's home on Bald Hill in Hornellsville. Interview is primarily about the Stanley family that Grandma was familiar with having been raised by her Aunt Angelina (Ferrin) Stanley and Uncle John W. Stanley (she called her Dad). During the interview they are apparently looking at family photos and she mentions tidbits about each. Found the cassette tape in Uncle Paul's house in Nunda 2025 - converted to digital June 2025.Polly Burdett Interview - abt 1978/9
This interview is possibly taken in the summer/fall of 1978 as Grandma says she is 79 years old and the interviewee I'm guessing is Jack Stanley and his wife. The cassette tape was found in Uncle Paul's house in Nunda,NY in 2025 and Jack (John) Stanley's name and address in Rochester is on the side. The audio appears to start in the middle of a conversation about John W. Stanley's death date and most of the audio is about the Stanley and Coburn family and roots. Converted to digital June 2025.
