Burdette "Bert" / Olive Orcutt

Olive (Maiden) Orcutt born abt 1882 in New York. I don't have a marriage date or place at this time. She was married abt 1902 to Burdette Walter Orcutt as her first son was born 1903. In 1910 they were living in Birdsall, Allegany, New York by 1920 they were residing in Whitewater Twp, Grand Traverse and in 1930 Ocqueac, Presque Ile, Michgan. Olive died 27 April 1963 but there is not a record in Grand Traverse County. I also didn't find her in the Social Security Index. Burdette, "Bert" died in Millersburg, Michigan so perhaps that is where her death record would be found as well.

"Bert" is on the headstone with Olive but it is dark and not showing well. Here is a snip of that photo:
"Bert" was born 28 Sep 1881. His obit has this to say:
