George Burns Dead
The subject of this sketch was born in Pendleton County, WV in what is known as Bland Hills where he resided for the greater part of days, departed this life Saturday morning about 9 o’clock, March 3rd.
In 1863 he married Miss. Sallie Bennett: by this union six children survive him, three sons, Lee, Henry J., and Charley, and three daughters, Carrie Bennett, Lottie Lawrence and Laura Bland.
Mr. Burns had been in feeble health for several years suffering from a kidney disease: two weeks ago lagrippe took hold and gradually weakened him until the end peacefully came. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Franklin Guards and belonged to Imbodens Company participating in some of the most stubborn contested battles of the war including that of Gettysburg: we are informed that he was a type of soldier which our country should be proud.
He was laid to rest Monday about one o’clock on the home place, and despite the inclemency of the weather, a fairly good sized crowd assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the aged citizen. Mr. Burns made his peace with his Master several years ago: he refused the aid of a physician and said he wanted to die, and we are told that his departing words were most encouraging.
We extend our sympathy to the bereft family especially the widow whom also is in the evening of life; in him you have lost a husband and father and a chair is vacant that can never be filled: and we would say to those that have not already made their place with God to make haste for fear you will be too late. According to prophesy this world’s history is fast closing and that we are living in the very last age. The end is near even at your doors. St. Matt. 24:33. So it is very expedient that we make haste that we may have part in the first resurrection wherein the second death hath no power.
