Nathan F. Burns, farmer and native of Wayne County, Tenn., was born August 1, 1856, son of Samuel L. and Sarah A. (Baker) Burns (see sketch of P. D. Burns). From birth he was raised to a farmer’s life and now resides on and owns the old homestead. His is the best farm in the county, having been kept in good repair and well taken care of by the father, who was an industrious, enterprising and prosperous farmer. The farm contains 1,375 acres of land and lies on Buffalo River. The products are corn, small grain and stock, the latter receiving Mr. Burns’ chief attention. He is a stanch Democrat, and November 7, 1875, he wedded Sallie A. Harbour, daughter of James G. and Esther J. (Lacefield) Harbour. Mrs.Burns was born in Tennessee August 20, 1854, and is the mother of three children: Nathan F.,Jr., James S., Jr., and Miles G. Mr. and Mrs. Burns are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and he may truly be be said to be one of the first and best citizens Wayne County can boast of.
