BURNS, Andrew. “The Body Recovered.” The Body of Andrew BURNS, the Sixth Victim of the Flood, Found at Last. The body of Andrew BURNS, of Fentress county, who was drowned in the river during the high water has been recovered. He was coming down the river in a small boat when by some means it was capsized, and BURNS was drowned. Search was made for his body, but without success until Saturday, when it was discovered in a pile of drift.  The body was greatly decomposed, but was carried back to his home for burial. BURNS was the sixth person drowned in Chattanooga and vicinity during the high water. [Source: Chattanooga Daily Times, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co., Tn, Tues., 20 April 1886].
