About Representative James Nelson Burnes
James Nelson Burnes is no longer in office and left on March 3, 1891. The biography below describes their time in office.
James Nelson Burnes (born August 22, 1827) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Missouri. He represented Missouri as a U.S. Representative from December 3, 1883, to March 3, 1891, serving four terms in Congress. During this period, he was identified with the Democratic Party and held office as a federal legislator rather than a state or local official.
Burnes served as a representative for Missouri in an at-large capacity, as indicated by his district designation of “-1.” His congressional tenure extended across the 1880s, a time of significant national political and economic change, and he remained in office continuously until 1891. After March 3, 1891, he left Congress and is recorded as a former officeholder. Further details about his committee assignments, personal life, or activities outside Congress are not provided in the available metadata.
