      He was born in York County, New Brunswick, the son of Stephen P. Burden and Ruth Ann Hagerman and was educated in Fredericton and at the University of New Brunswick. In 1908, he married Jane Burgess Payson. Burden was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1924, losing to Henry George Thomas Perry. He defeated Perry in 1928. Burden served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Lands. He resigned his seat in the assembly on June 27, 1930; his appointment as Agent-General for British Columbia was announced in late October 1930. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Conservative Party in the 1937 election in the riding of Fort George.
