Itiirns In our last issue \vc noted the sudden and serious illness of our townsman, Mi \V II Burns. At '] p in on Sunday, just threw days after his sudden attack, our old friend parsed ov? r the river. The family were all at his bedside hen death eaine except Mr Chas T Burns of Washington, I) (>, who (li<l not reach here until Monday morning on account of no Sunday trains. Mr Frank Burns, who was at Richhurg, came Friday night and Mr \V 11 Burns of (ireenville, arrived Sat urday m rning. \V 11 Burns was horn in York county February 2s, 1833, and was in his (JKth year. He came' to Lancaster in boyhood and, with the exception of a few years resi- ' denee at Charlotte and Monroe, has lived here ever since. He ' was married Nov 6, I860 to Miss i Salina M-ssey, daughter of I)r H V Massey. Five children have been horn to them, Mrs S C Shaffef*, who died in 1880, W H Burns, Jr, Mrs S N Watson, Chas T Burns and Frank Burns. His widow and the four children last named, survive him, and have the deepest sympathy of their i many friends in their sore be-1 reaveraent. Mr Burns was a man commanding in appearance, kind and sympathetic in disposition, moat devoted to his family and true to his friends. He was several times elected to office, serving as Coroner for four years, and three terras, six years, as Magistrate at this place. In his official capacity he always discharged his duties to the best of his ability, and if errors were ever made in his decisions, we believe they were of the head and not of the heart. His remains were interred in the town cemetery last Monday aftir noon after funeral servic s conducted from the residence by Rev J H Boldridge. It was a large funeral concourse that followed the remains of this old citizen of Lancaster to their last resting rtlar>? r?~v* - SPRING -B MHEATH -] FOUIi MONTHS AGO W'o n eventually wo would have the "Lie Our exhibit of Trimmed lint a outri here, the original eoneej tion-. of oi Stuck of Children's Trimmed I Lit.RICH AMD ELEGANT SPRlf'G Cio\v?ls of Indies around them inur them, hundreds arc >1ill cumin, BBEfiT| lluying in such larjre ?|uanti ways ?ono as soon as they are unni shades and now patterns.
