Mr. Burns has resided for over thirty years in the last house in town on the road leading from Bedford Center to Nashua. The house is one of the oldest now standing in town, being considerably over one hundred years; it was formerly used for a tavern stand in the old days before railroads.
Mr. Burns owns and carries on a large farm, which he has acquired by years of hard work. He is one of a very few soldiers who do not receive a pension, although the government is dispensing pensions to nearly a mil- lion at the present time. But he has the satisfaction of knowing that he performed well his part in that great struggle which saved the country and gave the black man his freedom.
This record is written by a comrade of Mr. Burns, who was a member of the same company with him during all the service, and well knew his honorable record.
