- Deacon Levi [Howard] BOND of
Milton Junction, died of pneumonia May 1st,
- lacking 9 days of being 90 years of
age. He came to Wisconsin in 1849 with his family and located
in the house where Mr. Alvit CLARKE now lives. He bought
the land now owned by Sherrill and Alvit CLARKE. Afterwards
he moved into the village of Milton and built and occupied the
house in which Prof. Albert WHITFORD now lives. He afterwards
bought a farm and located at the Junction. His first wife was
a Miss Anna MOORE of Cumberland county, N.J. who died
May 26, 1872, in the 81st year of her age. When the deacon
and his first wife came to Wisconsin they united with the Milton
S.D.B. church, of which they were members at the time of their
decease. After the death of his first wife he was united in
marriage with Mrs. Mary NEEDHAM, who made him an excellent
companion and to whom he was fondly attached. She is still
living but quite ill at the present time.
- The Deacon had six children by his
first wife, three of whom are still living. During and
- after part of his illness, his son,
a physician living at Iron River, Mich., was permitted to be
with him to comfort him and minister to his needs.
- The funeral exercises were held on
Sunday last, his pastor E. M. Dunn, officiating,
- assisted by Morris Crandall, N. Wardner,
and G. W. Hills. [Thursday edition, p. 4]
- Died - At the home of his mother in
Milton, April 25th, of consumption of the bowels
- and bronchial tubes, Henry Lee BURDICK,
son of the late Matthew S. and Mary E. BURDICK, aged 24
years, 3 months and 23 days.
- He was married to Miss Mary Alberti
FLAGER Dec. 2, 1888. They lived very
- happily together until their separation
by sickness and death. Henry was a great sufferer during the
last six weeks of his illness; he was tenacious of life and fought
a brave struggle for its continuance, but the hereditary tendency
to this disease which took him from us was too powerful to be
overcome by an indomitable will or medical skill. When once
assured that he could not recover he yielded submissively to
the indications of a wise province and died in peaceful resignation.
Besides a sick wife who in all probability cannot long survive
him, he leaves an almost heart-broken mother, now bereft of her
husband and children, but God will graciously care for her and
sanctify all her afflictions to her good, for "all things
work together for good to them that love God." E. M.
D. [Thursday edition, p. 4]
