I am researching the possibility of a family connection with the Burton-Lingo Lumber Co (photo inclosed).

Are you aware of any association between Burton-Lingo and the Jennings lumber yards of Arizona (Lewis Jennings was married to my mother-in-law's cousin and inherited the lumber yards from his father).  My mother-in-law recalls that Jennings had several yards somewhere in Texas as well as three in Arizona.

The photo of Burton-Lingo has been in my possession for about 20 years, but no one can recall where it came from. My mother-in-law suspects that it came from the estate of Lewis Jennings.

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
