home hfty-seven years ago and was thought
to have been murdered in a trappers' feud,

that his only surviving relative was a
brother. Joseph Burns, two years his Junior.
1t was not until the aged men had re.
called condolences Of their -boyhood that
either was satisfied of their relationship.
Then they went into the house together
and announced to all who called that they
guessed they'd live together hereafter"
Back in the '4Os the Burns brothers were
trappers in the Calumet lake region and
after a fight among a number Of other
trappers the older brother disappeared. He
was supposed to have been killed and his
body hidden. The parents died with this
belief, as did several other members Of the
family.
Abraham found his way out west and into
the mountains Of Idaho, where, according
to his story. he lived as a hermit miner.
Once he made his way by foot to San
Francisco, but he soon returned to his
mountain life.
