- At Utica, Wis., June 28, 1885, after
a short illness, Edwin S[tillman] BURDICK,
- aged 74 years and 9 months. Brother
BURDICK was born in Berlin, N.Y., and in early life removed
with his parents to Alfred, where, while quite young he experienced
religion, and united with the First Alfred Church. In the year
1856 he came to Wisconsin and settled near Milton. Here he was
within a few years bereft of his wife, Phebe Celestia, a woman
respected and beloved by all who knew her, the daughter of Abel
G. BURDICK, formerly of Verona, N.Y. Bro. BURDICK
married for his second wife H. Lovinia, daughter of Dea. A. P.
STILLMAN, and having settled in Utica, he united with
the Utica church, in June, 1867, of which he was a faithful and
zealous member till his death. Bro. BURDICK followed
peddling for many years, and was known to be scrupulously honest
in all his dealings. He was keenly alive to every Christian
obligation and so sensitive to his convictions of duty as to
suffer wrong, lest he might do wrong. His funeral was held at
the Rock River Church, and his remains buried there beside those
of his first wife. His widow and a son survive him. W.
