'The Journal-Telephone', Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Jan. 13, 1921, p 2.
Philena Babcock Burdick, the third daughter of Able and Lucy Ann Babcock was born in Scott, N. Y., April 30, 1826 and died in Milton Junction, Wis., January 9, 1921.
Her early girlhood was spent on a farm near Lake Erie in the state of Penna. At the age of sixteen she removed with her parents to Wisconsin and settled on a farm in the town of Lima, about four miles east of Milton.
When about fifteen years of age, just before coming to Wisconsin she was converted and baptized and joined the Baptist church near her home in Pennsylvania. Later when her people settled near Milton she became a member of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist church. Then when the Milton Junction church was organized in 1875 she became one of its constituent members and has since remained a faithful and honored member to the time of her death.
Philena Babcock was married to Ethan Lee Burdick March 20, 1845. To this union were born two children, G. D. and Myra May both of whom are deceased. In the fall of 1861 they adopted a little girl who grew to womanhood and who through all the years has been the faithful daughter and companion to her mother giving to her those loving ministries which only a true daughter could give.
'Aunt Philena,' as she was affectionately known and called was a christian woman of the noblest type. She loved the Bible and believed that it was given her though the journey of life. She therefore read it carefully, believed its counsels and put its teaching into daily practice. She lived a most careful and conscientious Christian life, loving and serving her brothers and sisters of the church and doing unselfish acts of service for all the home and community who might need her help and sympathy.
To few, it is given to live the long life she lived or to suffer what she has suffered. A helpless invalid for twelve long years, wasted and worn by suffering, she longed for the time to come when she could go home and be at rest. She had waited long for the summons 'Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the world.'
Funeral services were conducted from her late home by her pastor, Rev. Edgar D. Van Horn assisted by Rev. Geo. W. Burdick and Pastor Jordan from Milton.
The large circle of friends and the many floral offerings testified to the high esteem in which she was held.
Mrs. Edward Hull and E. M. Holston rendered two beautiful duets, 'Jesus Lover of My Soul' and 'Beyond our Sight.'Sight.'
