He served in the war of the rebellion from 1863 until mustered out at the close of the war. He enlisted in the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry and was captured at McMinville (sic), Tennessee, and was imprisoned in Andersonville, Libby and Cahawba prisons. At the close of the war he came to Iowa and then to Nebraska in 1868. He was married to Rosa Ducoty in 1872 near Ashland. To this union seven children were born: Ira. C., Albert H., Noah M., Benjamin Howard, Hattie E., Daniel Otis and Maudie - three of which survive, Noah M., Hattie E., and Daniel Otis. They moved from near Ashland to Nuckolls county (sic) by team in the month of August, 1874, and have resided in this county ever since. He identified himself with the Christian church (sic) in 1871 and was a contributor to the support from that time.
In the death of "Dan" Burd, Nuckolls county (sic) and Nelson loses one of the oldest, and a very familiar, landmarks. In his characteristic and unassuming manner he has been closely identified with the upbuilding (sic) and the progress of this community. He was a prosperous farmer until a number of years ago, when he came to town, and he has been secretary and manager of the Nuckolls County Mutual Insurance company. In this position he grew to be well and favorably known throughout the state as a careful student of the business and a most faithful and conscientious servant of his people, and his counsel was much sought by the state organization. As a citizen he was highly respected and his pleasant demeanor and words of good cheer and encouragement under all kinds of conditions, will be long remembered by all who were acquainted with him.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. V.E. Shirley Wednesday afternoon at the home. The Odd Fellows, the Rebakahs (sic) and members of Geo. H. Thomas Post attended in a body as the several organizations, the latter having charge of the exercises at the grave.
