"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 57, No 41, p 654, Oct. 14, 1901.
Daniel Burdick was born in Alfred, N. Y., June 10, 1830, and died of dysentery, Oct. 5, 1901.
His parents, Thomas T. and Nancy Lanphear Burdick, came to Alfred from Westerly, R. I., not long before his birth. He was the fifth of seven children, only two of whom now survive. He was married to Almira Austin, Sept. 22, 1855. To them were born four children, two of whom died in childhood. The home being made vacant by the death of his wife, he was married Dec. 3, 1883, to Sarah Ann Niles, who survives him.
He was baptized by Pastor N. V. Hull soon after the death of his little daughter, and joined the First Alfred Church, in whose fellowship he has since remained. He was a faithful attendant at church so long as health permitted. The last week of his active life was spent in attending the General Conference as he was able. For three-score years and ten he has watched the history of this church and community, living under the pastorates of N. V. Hull and all his successors.
He was a quiet, undemonstrative man, having little to say, but living daily an exemplary life. He hated no one, and so far as known, had no enemies. His smile was a rare one, as if his face were lighted from the inside. He was one of those men who form the strong, stable fabric of a community, right minded, staunch and faithful; of that type of character that we prize more and more as we grow older.
Services were held at the home Oct. 7, at 2 p.m. Sermon by Pastor Randolph from 2 Tim. 4: 7, 8.
