- MILTON - Deacon R[ussell] D[ighton] BURDICK died Wednesday
morning after
- a brief illness. His death came unexpectedly to most of
us, as few realized his dangerous condition, but his disease,
typhoid pneumonia, did not yield to treatment and ran its course
rapidly. Deceased moved to this village with his family from
Minnesota, some three years ago to avail himself of the educational
advantages which this village offers for his children, and had
made the community his friends by his active, genial way of life.
The church loses a working member and society a good man.
The bereaved family have the sympathy of all our citizens in
their great sorrow. The funeral took place at the S.D.B. church,
Saturday morning, and the remains were taken to the Utica cemetery
for interment. Mr. BURDICK was a member of the Janesville
Protection Insurance company, and his widow will received about
$500. [Tuesday edition, p. 4]
