General Notes: Husband - Samuel S. Burns

---

He attended school in his home district, remaining with his father until he married. Following this he assumed charge of the farm, operating it until he came to Dayton, Pennsylvania, and after locating in the borough interested himself in some of the local financial enterprises. He was one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Plumville, Indiana County, established in December, 1905, he being one of the original directors, and a member of the board. He was also one of the organizers of the Dayton Normal Institute, and served it several years as trustee.
A stanch Republican, Mr. Burns was called upon to support the principles of his party in office, serving his township as justice of the peace (for thirteen years, until he removed from the District), school director, auditor and supervisor. The United Presbyterian Church held his membership, but he later transferred to the Glade Run Presbyterian Church, which he served as trustee, and was superintendent of the Sunday school, holding that position for several years, during which time he appreciably raised its standard of excellence.
