    "Known's Buried" in Saint Anne's Cemetery without markers any longer.

    B.

    BURNS, Mattie (Born ? - c1882) lived near the Schuler Brewery on California Street in Columbia. He mined nearby and had a long line of sluice boxes. He had to dig down beneath a huge limestone boulder to get out the rich clay and gravel, which he wheeled in a wheelbarrow a couple of hundred yards and spread out to dry. After a few days he swapped enough to buy a stream of water and the balance be washed and sold to Wells Fargo. He researved enough however, to settle his bill with Mattie Brady, and then went on a spree.
    He asked the bartender if he was angry at him and the man said, "No!"
    One day he came out of one of the dance halls backward and was killed instantly. The Hybernians buried him in Saint Anne's cemetery. He died in the early eighties. (Noted down by Otheto Weston from accounts by Hubert Brady - 1946)
