Obituary:

Burns. - Edward Burns was born April 14th, 1798, and died July 23rd, 1891. He joined the Methodist Church at Jones' Chapel about 1854, under the ministry of Rev. N.A. Hooker, who was in charge of Deep River circuit at that time.
For the last ten years, his afflictions were such that he was not able to get about much, and for two months before his death he was a great sufferer from hearttrouble, but he endured his sufferings patiently and without murmuring. He was conscious that his end was approaching, and often spoke to those about him of his faith and hope in Jesus Christ. A few hours before he died he told his children that he must go home; on being told by his son John that he was at home, he said he was talking about the home he had been praying to get to for so many years, where he would be at rest. Thus passed away the oldest citizen of the community in which he lived, passed into the spirit world we trust to live with God forever.
