"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 44, No 22, p 5, May 31, 1888.
Martha L., wife of Philetus H. Burdick, died on the afternoon of May 7, 1888, aged 47 years, 3 months and 25 days. She has been a great sufferer for two years, it being nearly eighteen months since she had been able to walk alone. Through all of her sickness and suffering she exhibited the most patient Christian spirit. At first she was very anxious to recover so as to help her family, whom she loved dearly; she was especially anxious to live to see them all Christians. All that medical skill and loving care could do would not save the life so necessary to the happiness of her family. Toward the close of her life, she greatly desired the time of her departure to come. A few moments before she breathed her last, she said, “I’m nearer my home today than I have been before.” For a little more than sixteen years she has been a faithful member of the Lincklaen Seventh-day Baptist Church. She leaves three sisters, one brother, a husband and two children with numerous friends to mourn their loss. The funeral sermon was preached to a large concourse of friends, from the text, “For I am strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.”
