William Dean Burditt

The death of William Dean Burditt occurred at his home on Delaware street at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon after a long illness of hardening of the arteries, complicated with liver and heart troubles. He had been confined to his bed since the 5th of August.

Mr Burditt was for many years closely identified with the life of the village of Cooperstown in its business, political and social affairs and was widely known throughout this section of the State. He was the son of the late Luther I Burditt, who was for many years one of Otsego county's most prominent lawyers, and was born at the old Burditt homestead on Pioneer street, Cooperstown, January 8, 1848. He was educated in the Cooperstown school and at Hartwick Seminary. He was married June 1, 1870, to Fanny Miller, who was a daughter of one of the instructors at the Seminary and they made their home at that place for about ten years, after which they came to Cooperstown which has ever since been Mr. Burditt's home. He was for many years engaged in the real estate business with which he combined farming and poultry raising in which he was always much interested.

Mr Burditt was prominent in the affairs of the Democratic party and had the distinction of being six times elected president of the village of Cooperstown. He was also at one time supervisor of the town of Otsego. Among other offices which he held was that of president of Otsego county Agricultural society, director of the Second National Bank of Cooperstown, trustee of Lakewood Cemetery and member of the Board of Education. He was a member of the Village club, Mohican club and Utica lodge, No 33, BPOE.

Mr Burditt was married a second time twelve years age to Miss Anna Marion Eckstron, who survives him. Other surviving relatives are his four children, Byron Burditt of Dallas, Texas; George M Burditt of New York City; Mrs Raymond Randolph of Chicago and Mrs Merton Barnes of Rome, a sister Mrs James Lynes of Cooperstown and four grandchildren, two of whom, Dean and Byron Burditt, had resided with their grandfather for some years.

The funeral will be held at the home Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev B W Dix of the Methodist Episcopal church officiating. A delegation from the Utica Lodge of Elks will attend. Burial in Lakewood cemetery.
