- Milton - The Rev. W. D. BURDICK, 84, retired Seventh
Day Baptist minister, died
- Monday at his home in the village. He had been in failing
health for some time.
- Willard De Lure BURDICK born in Utica, Aug. 28, 1863,
the eldest son of Russell
- Dighton BURDICK and Luransa CHAMPLIN BURDICK.
In 1865, his father and mother with their young son drove to
Minnesota to make their home.
- Pioneer life in this section of the west helped build a sturdy
character. The prairie fires,
- blizzards, lack of conveniences, hard work in the fields,
were stern teachers.
- Opportunities for a college education for Willard, his brother
and sister brought the
- family back to Wisconsin where he attended Milton college
and received his degree of bachelor of arts in 1890. He decided
to enter the ministry, and took his training in the Baptist Seminary
at Morgan Park, Ill., and the theological department of the University
of Chicago, where he graduated with the degree of bachelor of
divinity in 1893. He was ordained to the gospel ministry in Milton,
May 21, 1893. An honorary degree, doctor of divinity, was conferred
upon Mr. BURDICK in 1918 by Salem college, Salem, W. Va.
- Willard BURDICK was married April 18, 1892 in Milton
Junction to Isaphena
- Genette WEST. To them were born three children, all
of whom and the wife are living in Milton. His sister, Mrs. G.
E. CROSLEY, also lives in Milton, but the brother, Dr.
A. L. BURDICK, died a few years ago.
- The Rev. Mr. BURDICK served pastorates in several
Seventh Day Baptist churches,
- his first, Jackson Center, O., then Nile, N.Y., and Farina,
Ill. Then for several years he traveled as a representative of
the S.D.B. Missionary society and the American Sabbath Tract
society. During these years from 1914 to 1918, he made his home
in Milton. Then he moved to New Market, N.J., where he served
as pastor of the Piscataway S.D.B. church and continued work
for the tract society. Later he moved to Plainfield, N.J., and
assumed the responsibility of the general secretary of the S.D.B.
denomination with full time activities. This work he followed
for five years.
- Travel that kept him from home for weeks at a time, caused
him to give up this
- strenuous work and go back to a pastorate. He and his wife
moved to Rhode Island, where they worked eight years serving
three churches. While living in Rhode Island, Mr. BURDICK
served over five years as president of the S.D.B. Missionary
society with headquarters in Westerly, R.I. During this time
he was president of the S.D.B. general conference, 1930-31.
- In 1938, Mr. BURDICK retired from the ministry, and
he and his wife moved to
- Milton, where they have made their home for the past 10 years.
In these years he has been active, helping in church work and
caring for a large garden. He has derived much comfort from these
interests and the nearness of his two sons with their families.
The oldest son, Prof. W. D. BURDICK; grandson, William
L.; great-grandson, William Alan, gave four generations to his
family. Russell W., the second son, with his family, lives nearby.
Mr. and Mrs. BURDICK have made their home with the daughter,
Miss Marjorie J. BURDICK, on High Street, Milton.
- Friends may call at the Phelps funeral home Wednesday evening.
