Ionia Standard, 12 Feb 1886

Portland – Elliott Wyman of this place, received a letter last week announcing 
that Squire Burns had been frozen to death in Dakota, during a recent 
blizzard.  Burns, in company with two others, had been out on a hunting 
expedition and while returning were overtaken by the storm.  When the little 
party discovered that escape would be impossible, they stacked their guns in 
the snow, laid down beside them and died.  In a few hours the storm passed by; 
the guns were discovered, and three frozen corpses presented to view.  Burns is 
well known in Portland, and was a well-to-do young man.
