- In Milton Junction, Wis., March 15th,
1874, of inflammation of the liver, Z[uriel]
- W[eeden] BURDICK, in the 42d
year of his age. The deceased was born at Truxton, N.Y., and
united at an early age, with the Lincklaen Seventh-day Baptist
Church. His father, Willet S. BURDICK, removed with
his family to Wisconsin about twenty-three years ago. The deceased
resided in this State until 1864, when he removed to Transit,
Sibley Co., Minnesota, returning to Wisconsin in 1870. Bro.
BURDICK was one of the constituent members of the Transit
Seventh-day Baptist Church, and was chosen its clerk. He taught
school at the county seat for several terms, but spent most of
his winters surveying, being deputy county surveyor. He has
been engaged mostly in school teaching since his return to Wisconsin.
He had but just closed his school when taken ill with inflammation
of the liver and bowels, accompanied with inflammation of the
lungs, the result in part of an injury received a few years since
by the kick of a horse. The deceased failed very rapidly, but
expressed himself resigned to death. Death had no terrors for
him. A comfortable hope in Christ sustained him. He leaves
a wife and two children to mourn his departure. His funeral
was attended by a large and sympathizing audience; the children
of the graded school at the Junction, having formerly been under
his care, sat with the mourners. L. C. R. [Vol.
