He is a native of St. Lawrence county and a descendant of one of the oldest families in the county, on his mother's side. He embarked in the hardware business in 1888 with a Mr. Cooper, but in January, 1891, this firm was dissolved and was replaced by Burney Brothers, as it remains at present, the partners being F.C. and J.G. Burney. The subject of this sketch is a member of both Odd Fellows and Masons. In politics he is a Republican. He has three brothers, and all four are Masons; one of the four raised the other three, all at one time. The business of Burney Brothers is large and important, and by honorable methods and superior business management they have become important fators in the commercial life of Little Falls. source: History of Herkimer County, New York : illustrated with portraits of many of its citizens edited by George A.
