His native country is Ireland, where he was born in 1829. At the age of fourteen years he bid home and friends farewell and was soon on his way to the United States. Upon arriving in the Land of the Free he first lived one year in the State of Vermont; then he migrated to Indiana, where he married Miss Jane Basham, who was born in Tennessee, but raised in Indiana. In 1853 Mr. Burns concluded to seek his fortune on the Western frontier and he accordingly took his wife and their one child (William) into a buggy and started for Iowa. He arrived in Hardin County in the month of September with only $60 in money, but an abundance of energy and good health. He was unsettled for a few years, trading a little in land and working as best he could until the fall of 1861, when he enlisted in Company A of the 32d Iowa and served three years. He was with General Banks on the Red River Expedition and on April 9, 1863 was taken prisoner and remained as such in Tyler Prison, Texas fourteen months. After being mustered out of service he returned to his home with his health somewhat impaired, but he at once purchased his present farm all of which was then a wild prairie. This he has since improved so that he now owns 140 acres valued at $35 per acre. In 1882 Mr. Burns went to Dakota and took up a soldier's claim. He is a Republican in politics. His religious connections are with the Christian Church. Their children are William, George S., Elizabeth and James.
