Interestingly, Ebby Thacher‘s parents also purchased a summer home on Taconic Avenue that connected to
the southern edge of the Burnham‘s property.
Bill Wilson lived in nearby East Dorset; When Lois Burnham opened a tea arbor on the north shore of
Emerald Lake, Bill became a regular. This developed into a courtship during the summer of 1915. They
became secretly engaged and were married on January 24, 1918.
