BURNS FUNERAL HELD FRIDAY AT MONROE

   Funeral services were held Friday morning in Monroe for J. F. Burns, 
prominent planter and member of the Police Jury of Concordia parish, who
died following a stroke of paralysis at the home of his brother, H. H. Burns
in Monroe Thursday.  At the time of his death Burns was ___ years of age.
Interment was made at the family plot in the Winnsboro cemetery Friday
afternoon.
   Operating a large plantation near Deer Park for a number of years, Burns
was well known throughout the parish and his passing comes as a shock to a 
host of friends.  He was a member of the Baptist church and Natchez Chapter
Woodmen of the World.  As a member of the police jury he gave splendid service.

H. H. Burns, and Robert Burns, all of Monroe and three sisters, Mrs. Carrie
Allred, Mrs. Mattie Hinckle, and Miss Ella Burns also of Monroe.
