Thomas J. Burdick was born May 14, 1850, and died October 21, 1928. He was the oldest child of Maxson and Martha Compton Burdick and was born at Independence, N. Y. His early life was spent at West Clarksville, N. Y. The remainder was spent at Alfred.

On March 19, 1872, he was married to Viola Coon of Albion, Wis. To them were born four children: Merton C., Flora E., Elbert L., and Albert M., who died in 1888. Mrs. Burdick died June 24; 1886. He was later married to Emma A. Witter, who died November 15, 1913. On March 1, 1916, he was married to Amanda Loveland. He is survived by his wife, by his three children, Merton, Flora, and Elbert, and by some brothers and sisters, and a number of grandchildren.

Mr. Burdick was of a quiet, thoughtful nature. He was interested in the general welfare of the community. He was a charter member of the Alfred Grange, a member of the First Alfred Church, to which he was devoted both in attendance and service. A study of the Bible and prayer were a great comfort to him, and did much to keep him patient and kind and loving during his many months of sickness.

Funeral services were conducted by his pastor from his home. Interment was in the Alfred Rural Cemetery.
