COL. BURNSIDE DEAD
EX-UNION SOLDIER AND LONG.
TIME RESIDENT OF DISTRICT.

Col. ]. o. p. Burnside. a resident of Wash
ington for nearly forty years, died suddenly
at his home in this city Thursday at 10 80
pm. Col Burnside's service during the war
of the rebellion was varied and arduous.
He enlisted as a private in the Union army
May H. 1861 and was soon made captain
of Company G, 10th Regiment, Illinois Vol
unteer Infantry. During his service in this
regiment he contracted disease of the kid
neys from exposure in the heavy snow
storms in Missouri in December 1861, a
disability which caused him to leave the
service temporarily. He afterward helped
to organize and was made lieutenant colo
mel of the list Illinois Volunteer Infantry,
under a call for three months service.
Soon after the expiration of this duty he
was appointed commissary of subsistence,
with the rank of captain, and assigned to
the staff of Gen. S. S. Carroll of the Army
of the Potomac. On the march from Get
tysbufg back to Falmouth in 1853 he suf-
fered severe sunstroke. from the effects
of which he never recovered. After treat
ment for months in hospital he was trans
ferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps as
captain, and being pronounced unfit for
duty in the field, he finally resigned his
commission.
Col Burnside was we'll known in Wash
ington. He held positions in the United
States Treasury Department and later in
the general post office For than
twenty of the last years of his life the fact
that he was ncapacitated for active bust
ness pursuits had been recognized. ror
fourteen consecutive years of this time he
was an inmate of ST Elizabeth Hospital
Always passionately fond of music, while
there he became an expert in the conStruc-
ton of violins. Col Burnside was given all
the liberty practicable. and for several
years he resided at home. In the late sum-
mer of 1904 he returned again to the hospi-
tai for treatment, remaining there nearly
a year. Since August, 1905, he has lived at
his own home, where he died.
Col Burnside was for several years COM
mander of the National Rifles.
