An article in the Stillwater NewsPress, 21 April 1982, p. 1B:
"An article in the Cimarron Family Review describes items of interest in the March, 1894, issue of the Clayton Star. C. M. Burns was a dealer in dry goods and groceries, offering "good bargains at one price." He also kept undertaker's goods on hand and repaired shoes.
Burns' services seem rather varied, with undertaking supplies in stock. When linked to a tombstone in the cemetery, a note of poignancy creeps in. The lettering reads: 'Florence Pearl, dau(ghter), C. M. and E. C. Burns, Sept. 19, 1894, Age 11 D (Days). Saved from earthly taint and sin."
