He is missed by all but not forgotten. He was the thirteenth child of the fourteen children of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Burdick.

He was a veteran of the Civil war, and was loyal to his country as well as to his God. He gave his heart to God when he was 40 years of age, and was a faithful follower of God, his greatest pleasure was to read his Bible and talk of his Savior. He is survived by his sister, Mrs. Louisa Hazeltine; Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Hickerson and family and Mr. and Mrs. Pete Hazeltine and son. He was loved by all who knew him, for his love and kind deeds.
