    Notes:
    from The Biographical History of La Crosse, Trempealeau, and Buffalo Counties, Wisconsin, published 1892, page 770:

    Delbert Clarence Burns, of Trempealeau county, is a son of William Thomas Burns, who was born in Ticonderoga, Essex County, New York, July 20, 1824. He was the son of John and Laura Burns.

    December 13, 1847, W. T. Burns was united in marriage to Louisa Jane Bugbee, a daughter of William Bugbee, and in 1854, they came to Wisconsin, first to Portage, thence to Trempealeau Township, settling on section 1. This farm was entirely new, but he improved the place and made of it a pleasant home and there he resided until his death, August 20, 1884.

    He was a well-known and esteemed citizen, and took an active interest in promoting the growth and prosperity of the community in which he lived. He was a member of the Town Board of Trempealeau, and took an active part in the religious and educational progress of the town. He was especially active in church matters, and was one of five who built the Methodist Church at Centreville, he having been a member of that denomination for twenty years. Politically he was identified with the Republican party. He met his death in a sudden and peculiar way, having died from the sting of a bee.

    His only child, Delbert C., was born at the homestead in Trempealeau county, March 8, 1857, which he now owns and occupies.

    He married Lunetta C. French, a daughter of Henry French, of Galesville, and a well-known pioneer of Trempealeau County. Mr. and Mrs. Burns have two children: Florence Mabel and Lulah Camele.
