Weekly Telephone

March 1885

Milton Twp., Rock County, Wisconsin

12
It has been our good fortune to have a personal acquaintance with Dea. [Russell]
Dighton BURDICK for a period of nearly 20 years. Mr. and Mrs. BURDICK left their home in Minnesota two or three years ago, and came to Milton to give their children - two sons and a daughter - the benefit of a collegiate education. A few days ago he was a strong, active man - to-day the church mourns the loss of one of its truest members; society, an active, enterprising, genial businessman; the family, a loved, and loving husband, father. He was always the same genial friend. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their terrible affliction.
The funeral services will be held on Saturday morning, the 14th, at the S.D.B. church,
at ten o'clock a.m. All are cordially invited to attend. [Thursday edition, p. 5]
