"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 19, No 35, p 139, Sep. 3, 1863.

On the 19th of July, 1863, near Haines’ Bluff, Miss., very suddenly, of heart disease, J. Weeden Burdick, son of Gardner and Elizabeth Burdick, of Co. A, 7th Regt. R. I. V., in the 25th year of his age. Bro. Burdick volunteered in the defense of his country about one year since. During this time he had suffered the self-denial of the camp and the conflicts of the battle field. He was a faithful soldier, and a cheerful and benevolent companion. His letters to his friends exhibit unshaken confidence in his early religious profession, and his last words were words of trust in God. A large circle of friends met on the occasion of his funeral, held at Rockville, Aug. 22d, to share in the bereavement, and to embalm his memory. He leaves a wife, and many relatives, to lament his death.
