Obituary: Decatur County Journal April 23, l908 ELIZABETH KINNEAR BURNS, daughter of ROBERT and KETURAH KINNEAR, was born in Vernon, Indiana, November 23, l820, and died at the residence of her son in Leon, Iowa, April l8, l908, at the advanced age of 87 years, 4 months and 25 days. The deceased was united in marriage to ABNER M. BURNS in Franklin, Indiana, July l9, l836, living together as husband and wife 57 years. She was the mother of eleven children; seven of this number preceded the mother to the city of the departed, while four remain to mourn the absence of a true, kind and tender mother, ISAAC, of Pueblo, Colo.; CALVIN, of Junction City, Oregon; JOHN R., and MRS. BELLE HARVEY, of Leon, Iowa. The deceased and husband came to Davis County, Iowa, in l849, and to Leon, Decatur County, Iowa, in l853, where as early settlers they endured many of the trials and privations of pioneer life. Sister BURNS was converted at the early age of twelve years and became a member of the church, giving the best of her life to the delightful service of God for a period of 75 years. She and husband were consistent members of the First Baptist Church at Leon; she was conscientiously a Baptist because she believed the principles as taught by them as God's people, yet she often worshipped with the membership of the other churches represented in the city; she was a firm believer in the old time religion and was strongly attached to the covenant meetings of the church; she was a constant reader of the precious Word of God as the old Book left in the home bears witness by the number of marks found. Since the death of her aged husband, which occurred fifteen years ago, she made her home with her son, JOHN, and wife, receiving at their hands kind care and attention till the end came, caused by paralysis, and she is at rest, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. The funeral occurred at the Baptist Church in Leon, April 20, l908, at 2 p.m. and was largely attended by kind friends and sympathizing neighbors, the services being conducted by Rev. F. Edwards, of Osceola, an old time friend and Pastor, assisted by the resident Pastors of the city, after which the remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband and children in the Leon Cemetery to await the resurrection of the just. May the kind Father comfort the hearts of the bereaved ones left to mourn. Oh how sweet it will be In that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain. With songs on our lips, And harps in our hands, To meet one another again. ------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 15, 2001
