Mrs. Orville Grant Burdick
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 149, No 7, p 117, Aug. 28, 1950.
Martha Lucetta Davis was born in Wells, Minn., on June 15, 1872, and died in Denver, Colo., July 11, 1950.
When a small child, she moved with the family to North Loup, Neb., where she met and later married Orville G. Burdick on May 29, 1890. To this union were born seven children, of whom three survive. They are: Edwin, Grant, and Mrs. Grace Burdick White.
Her husband, Orville, preceded her in death in November, 1944. Also surviving are two sisters: Mrs. Maud Davis and Mrs. Minnie Davis, one brother, Frank, all of Denver, and five grandchildren.
While in Nebraska, she was baptized, and united with the North Loup seventh Day Baptist Church. After moving to Denver, she helped with the organization of the Church there, and was one of the charter members. She helped also to organize the Ladies' Aid Society of the Church, acting as president for fifteen years, and at the time of her death was its treasurer.
During the last two years of her life she has been very active in two other Denver organizations, the Woodbury Club, which she served as president, and the National Annuity League.
It is interesting to note that during her childhood, "Mattie," as she was lovingly called by her family and friends, made two covered wagon trips from North Loup to Boulder, one in the 1890's and one in 1911.
As she lay suffering for two weeks prior to her death, she was heard by her family to utter many times, "Have thine own way, Lord." What a wonderful testimony to leave for those who must live on after her. F. D. S."
Notes from Jean Jorgensen:
At the age of 6, Mattie's Grandparents, E. Randall. and Lucetta Davis, moved from Minnesota to North Loup, Nebraska, and on June 12, 1878, joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church of North Loup. When Mattie was age 11, her father died (on April 10, 1883). Her mother lived until 1901, and is also buried in North Loup, Nebraska. On July 7, 1888, at the age of 16, "Mattie" was baptized and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church in North Loup, Nebraska. Two years later, on May 29, 1890, Mattie married Orville G. Burdick. Sometime late in 1890 or early spring 1891, Orville and Mattie moved to Boulder, Colorado. There is a good chance that Mattie's parents, Henry S. and Frances Davis, moved with them. On April 4, 1891 the first Sabbath School was organized. Mattie was the organist. Orville and Mattie's first three children were born in Boulder: Viola DeOrien Burdick (1892); Nettie ( April 1893-Oct 1893) and Edwin (1894)
1893 they were charter members of the Boulder Seventh Day Baptist Church. In 1899, they moved back to North Loup, Nebraska and joined the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist Church. (per records from the historian, Colette Soper, of that church.) Four more children were born to their union. Two died as infants. Delwin Grant was born in 1906 and Grace Eola was born in 1913.
