MISS BURBECK DEAD
DAUGHTER OF A SOLDIER AT BUNKER HILL
Miss Charlotte A. Burbeck, second daughter of the late Brig.-Gen. Henry Burbeck, U. S. A., died at the family residence on Main street late Tuesday afternoon. Miss Burbeck had been ill for a long time past and life to her was but weariness and pain, death coming as a longed-for release to the body that had survived the the activity of the mind. Miss Burbeck in her youth was noted for her great personal beauty and graces of mind. Her intellect was of the brightest and her accomplishments were many. In the social life of her day she was a conspicuous ornament and to her friends a loved companion. Throughout her long life she was identified with the work of St. James' church, no interest occupying a larger place in her affection and devotion. It was only when she felt that physical infirmity compelled her to give up attendence on the services of her church that her family and friends realized that the strong body and will had begun to decay. In St. James' church she was christened and confirmed and its well being was her constant aim. Miss Burbeck was in her 80th year. The funeral will be from St. James' church Thursday at 3 p.m. The family has long been prominent from the services of the grandfather and the father to the cause of American independence. The grandfather was a native of Boston, Mass., and an officer in the British colonial establishment when the troubles between the colonies and the mother country began to ferment. He was an officer of the ordnance department and in command at Castle William, Boston harbor. He espoused the cause of his native land and gave up his commission from the king. A price was set upon his head with other patriots to whom patriotism was a religion. Brig.-Gen. Henry Burbeck, his son, was worthy of his sire and with his father threw himself into the struggle for liberty. Father and son made the ammunition used by the colonial troops at Bunker Hill and both participated in that memorable flight from which we date our history. Brig.-Gen. Henry Burbeck was a lieutenant at the battle of Bunker Hill with a commission signed by General Warren. From that time for 40 years he remained in the service of the United States. He came out of the war of the Revolution a captain in the Massachusetts line. From that time on he was in military employment constantly, being sent to the frontiers and to the south and rendering conspicuously good service in whatever capacity he was called upon to serve. He was the friend of Washington. From his intimate association with the foreign officers who aided in the Revolutionary war he learned the necessity of some provision for the proper education of officers for the engineering and artillery branches of the army and from his recommendation to that end came the military academy at West Point. After 40 years of service, by the reorganization of the artillery branch with no officer higher in rank than a colonel, General Burbeck was legislated out of the army, an instance of a country's ingratitude that was the subject of much comment at the time. He was ordered to command at this place in 1813 when the country was at war with Great Britain and while he was here Lord Hardy's fleet lay off the harbor. General Burbeck continued in command until the close of the war and then concluded to make New London his home. He married the widow of Capt. Caldwell, a United States marine officer. At first General and Mrs. Burbeck took up their residence in the old Bocage house which until recent years, stood on Coit street next to the entrance to the Lyon yard. Later the house in which the family lives and where all six children that blessed the union were born, was purchased from the father of the late Bartholomew Baxter. There General Burbeck died in 1846 being 96 years of age. Miss Burbeck, who was many years his junior, survived more than 30 years. General Burbeck was for a long time the president of the Massachusetts branch of the Society of the Cincinnati and that society erected a monument to his memory in Cedar Grove cemetery. These were six children three daughters and three sons the only survivors being W. H. Burbeck and John C. Burbeck. There are grandchildren, sons and daughters of Mrs. Kibby and Mrs. Smith. They were real children of the Revolution for their father was a Revolutionary officer. Miss Burbeck was made an honorary member of Lucretia Shaw Chapter, D. A. R. There is probably no instance in the United States of a family still with members active in the affairs of life whose father was an officer of the Revolution and whose birth dates back to 1750.
