   When James E. Burnside was only eleven years old he left Cokesbury, where he had attended the old Cokesbury Male Institute, and came with his parents to Florida, settling first in Marion county at Blue Springs. He often told of that early trip through the state, when Jacksonville consisted only of a few log cabins and a log warehouse, and other settlements were very few and far between. The family lived in Marion county until Mr. Burnside was twenty years old, then decided to move farther south and chose a site near Blanton, then Hernando county, as their future home.
   ...
   The elder Mr. Burnside had enlisted with the Florida troops and served during the war as a second lieutenant in the Confederate army, and as soon as he was eighteen, James E. Burnside enlisted with the state troops and served for the remainder of the war. Like many others, the Burnside family was divided, and one of James Burnside's first cousins, the noted General Ambrose E. Burnside, was with the Federal army.
   ...
   James Burnside spent most of his life in the farming and citrus business, first in the Blanton neighborhood, later in Ehren and Pasco. He was a staunch member of the Methodist church, and was one of those early pioneers who built the original Townsend House church and was loyal to its support in spite of the hardships of those times. He served as a member of the Hernando county school board, before Pasco county was established, and always took a vital interest in the affairs of his county.
   
   Many old friends, and the children of old friends, gathered at the simple but impressive funeral services, appropriately held in historic Townsend House church, and in the neighborhood where Mr. Burnside had labored as a young man.
