I>eatli of Mr. W II. 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>?
