At his home, a half mile south of the village of Blue Grass, at half-past 8 o'clock Saturday morning, died John L. Burnside. The deceased was born in this county, just across the highway from his home, in the old Burnside house, the son of James E. and Elizabeth Burnside, in 1848. He became a farmer, and a good one -- and a true, upright, honest man beside, doing what he believed to be right, and letting consequences take care of themselves. And so he was greatly respected by the people among whom he grew up, and by everybody else who knew him. In the townships of Blue Grass and Buffalo, everybody thought well of John Burnside. A few years since he married a daughter of Mr. John Friday, who survives him with two children. He was taken ill about three weeks ago--his ailment developed into typhoid fever, which proved fatal. His age was 30 years and 3 months. The funeral occurs today at 11 o'clock; services in the Methodist church in the village of Blue Grass. Rev. C.S. Jennis will preach the sermon. The friends of the family are invited to attend.
