Ed & Ella (Riordan) Burke's house in North Vernon
Ed and Ella (Riordan) Burke wedding. Eugene is in the picture with a
Kate Scanttom,
thank you to Ellen Riordan-Edens for this photo.
Ed was a manager for the railroad. They had two children, Jim and
Ellen Burke. Now this house is the North Vernon police station.
Jim and Ellen did not marry and after this home was sold, they
shared a home at 308 E. O & M Ave in North Vernon. They has a
wonderful sense of humor, always teasing each other. They were very
close to their family, especially their sister Anna and her husband,
John McGinty. They had beautiful antique furniture. We visited them
twice and enjoyed their stories and the photos that they shared.
Mary Riordan O'Shaugnessy, sister of Ella, John, Eugene and Annie
Eugene & Jennie Riordan
From Ellen Riordan, daughter of Edward Riordan: "My name is Ellen
Riordan-Edens, my Father was
Edward Riordan the only child of Eugene and Jennie Riordan.
My dad never talked about his family very much to me. I was one of
the younger children and he was gone alot when I was growing up. I
remember one time he left on a train to go to Indiana to a FUNERAL
IN 1962?
He told me I was named after his aunt Ella, I thought that was
strange when I was young, however I was glad he chose Ellen instead
of Ella.

My father was a policeman when I was very young then he worked at
Boeing. I also have a wedding picture I have restored of Tom and
Lizzies wedding picture, also I had without knowing it a picture of
Mary Jane Melvin. The same picture on your site. Thank you so much
for having that available. We would never have known who she was.
If I scan the pictures I have and send them to you on a cd do you
think you could identify any of them?
I am pretty sure I have several pictures of the young soldier you
asked about on your web site?
Well I am probably boring you so I will sign off for now.
Thank you again!
Ellen
