- In Milton, Wis., Oct. 5th, 1876, Mr.
John L[ee] BURDICK, in the 76th year of his
- age. While attending to the morning
work of his home, he died suddenly from a disease of the heart.
He was born in Westerly, R.I., Dec. 12th, 1800; and in 1827,
he came to Western New York, where he married, and settled in
the town of Darien. He united with the Seventh-day Baptist
church at Clarence, N.Y., in its early history, and remained
a member of this church until his death. He removed in 1867,
with a portion of his family, to Milton, Wis., where several
of his children had already settled. Here he resided until
death called him home. Three and a half years ago, he buried
the companion of his life. Nine children were born to them,
two of whom lost their lives in the army during the Civil War
and the others are still living. His sermon was preached by
Rev. James Summerbell and a large number of his neighbors and
friends attended his funeral. W. C. W. [Vol. 32, No.
