Burnside, the well known resident of Blue Grass, in this county, is followed so soon by the tidings of her death. The sad event occurred at twenty minutes past 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, 3d inst. And so another of the pioneer women of Scott county has passed away--one who was among the best known of the settlers in the early days. Mrs. Burnside was born in Delaware county, Ohio, March 23d, 1814, the daughter of Amos and Fairby Barr--and her age at death was 68 years, 10 months, and 11 days. Her father was a native of Ireland, who came to this country with his parents when a youth, and her mother was a native of Maryland. She and Mr. Burnside were married in La Grange, Indiana, April 9th, 1835. In May, 1836, Mr. Burnside journeyed from his home on horseback to the east bank of the Mississippi opposite Buffalo, and was taken across the river on a ferry boat made of hewn timber, by Captain W.B. Clark. He spent ten days in looking about for a farm tract, and found one in Cedar county that suited him, and went back to his family. That summer Mrs. Burnside came to Iowa with her husband, and so was among the first settlers of Cedar County. In April, 1837, Mr. Burnside removed to his present farm in Buffalo township, near the village of Blue Grass--and there Mrs. Burnside has lived for forty-six years, respected by all who knew her, loved by all her neighbors. She was very kind-hearted and charitable---many are the poor men, women and children who have blessed her for her bounty. She was a member of the Methodist church in Blue Grass for twenty-seven years. Five children survive her with her husband--Alexander, Amos, Samuel, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, and Mrs. Rhoda Barr. All the children reside in Scott county, and all are well-to-do. They received abundant lessons by examples in industry, thrift, fore-thought, and prudence from their mother and father. The death of Mrs. Burnside, although not unexpected, will be greatly deplored in Blue Grass and Buffalo townships, and by the old settlers throughout the county. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Monday) forenoon. The procession will leave the house at 10 o'clock, and at 11 o'clock the services will be held in the Methodist church in the village of Blue Grass, the Rev. Mr. Powers of Muscatine officiating. The friends of the family are invited to attend.
