SAMUEL FRANCIS BURDETT
LEAVENWORTH.
SAMUEL F. BURDETT was born in Billingsborough, Lincolnshire, England, March 11, 1820.
His father, William Burdett, was a principle incident in the naming of the subject of this memoir is worth recital. On the very day of his baptism Sir Francis Burdett was liberated from prison for political offenses, and, although there was no relationship to the family, the officiating Episcopal clergyman suggested that Francis be added to his name in commemoration of the event, and the fact that it was added is worth perpetuating as a memento of the liberal sentiments of the family.
His mother’s maiden name was Sarah Mosedale, a lady of culture, who aided her husband in teaching, he having charge of the male department and she of the female department of the parochial schools of the village. They were members of the Episcopal church, and were eminent Christian people. They had ten children, of whom Samuel F. was the fifth.
The father of Samuel F. dying when he was but nine years old, he was thrown upon his own resources, and compelled to acquire his own education. He was employed while young as a mechanic, and served seven years apprenticeship, and during this time, by close application, managed to get hours of study and reading, and at the age of twenty immigrated to America, and upon this soil, by the sentiments of freedom inculcated by his mother, soon became interested in and identified with the free institutions of his adopted country. He continued to devote himself to study until he acquired a good business education. His occupations have been various, adapting himself to the surroundings in the various localities, sometimes clerical and sometimes mercantile. He resided in Brooklyn, New York, New York City, Lebanon, Ohio, Keokuk, Iowa, and in 1860 removed to Kansas, settling at Leavenworth.
Mr. Burdett was originally a Whig, with strong anti-slavery sentiments; and hence when the Republican party was organized he became a Republican. He was never an aspirant for official position, but has held some local offices, and in the sessions of 1870 and 1871 was first assistant clerk of the Kansas House of Representatives.
He participated in the Price raid and in the battles of Westport and Little Blue, as first lieutenant of 19th Kansas Cavalry.
He is a member of the Masonic Fraternity, a Master Mason and a member of the Knights of Pythias. He has been especially distinguished as an Odd Fellow. He was initiated in Eagle Lodge No. 94, Brooklyn, New York, elected to membership before he was twenty-one years old, and had to wait a week for initiation on account of his minority. He is, therefore, among the oldest Odd Fellows in the State, having held an uninterrupted membership for thirty-nine years, and has been a member of the Encampment for thirty-eight years. He has taken all the degrees and held every office in each body, many of them for several terms...
Mr. Burdett has been twice married. He was married in England, March 11, 1840, to Mrs. Mary Lyle, who died in Brooklyn, New York, in 1847. They had two children, one of whom died in infancy, and the other lived till manhood, dying in Leavenworth, Kansas. He was again married in Monmouth county, New Jersey, March 11, 1848, to Miss Susan Patterson, a most estimable lady, a Daughter of Rebecca, who, has taken deep concern, not only in all that interests her husband in all the relations of life, but for the advancement and exaltation of the Order of Odd Fellowship.
