Son of:
Wilson Hoag Berdan and Elizabeth Warner
Husband of:
Laura June Gillett (1852-1930) she passed away in Saginaw, Michigan and her death certificate does not state place of burial.
From the Saline, Michigan Observer, Thursday, July 12, 1894, under the section for news from around the state of Michigan:
Mrs. W.M. Berdan received a telegram Sunday afternoon, stating that her son Dwight, at Cheboygan, was very sick. Hardly had she started for his home when a second dispatch came announcing his death. D.W. Berdan, M.D. was well known here, it being his former home, where much of his school life was spent. He was one of the graduates of the class of '74. For some time past he was one of the leading physicians of Cheboygan and a prominent man in the town.
Death of Dr. D.W. Berdan:
Dr. Dwight W. Berdan, one of our best known physicians, passed away Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock after a few days suffering, from pleura-pneumonia. He was not feeling very well the Fourth of July, but was around all day, taking part in the afternoon as one of the judges in the sports of the day. He grew worse that evening and Thursday morning Dr. A.M. Gerow was sent for, but in spite of all medical aid he passed to the great beyond Sunday afternoon. The deceased was born in Saline, Washtenaw county, Michigan, November 17, 1853. He graduated from the Union schools of his native village in 1874 and from a medical college in 1877, and practiced his profession for some time and then attended the Belleview Hospital college, New York, receiving a diploma. He came to Cheboygan in the summer of 1884 and established the Cheboygan sanitarium in the building on the east side now owned and occupied by D.H. Maloney as a residence. As a physician he was quite successful, building up a large practice. In 1889 he was appointed to succeed Dr. T.A. Perrin, who moved to California, as surgeon of the Mackinaw division of the Michigan Central railroad, a position he held to his death. He was chosen village president in 1888 and served one term. In his practice as a physician he was very liberal and many a poor family are indebted for services for which he never asked or expected reward. He leaves a wife and a young son to mourn his loss. His mother arrived from Saline Monday evening and was not aware of his death until she reached Cheboygan having left home on receipt of a telegram Saturday announcing his serious illness. His brother Edward of Chicago arrived Tuesday morning. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon and was one of the largest ever witnessed in Cheboygan. He was a member of the K. of P. and I.O.O.F. orders and an honorary member of our military company, all of which were present at the funeral accompanied by the Cheboygan City band. Rev. Bulkley, of St. James church, conducted the services. – Cheboygan Tribune

The first known medical facility in the area, however, didn't come until around the mid-1880s. The Cheboygan Sanitarium, located at the corner of Main and Court Streets, was an impressive structure which offered care in those early days of Cheboygan. Locals could purchase a "ticket" to the sanitarium for $5 to $10 per year, which would cover care plus room and board. The ticket acted as a mini-insurance policy of sorts. If you held a ticket and were injured, you were entitled to use the sanitarium's facilities to the level of care that you had paid for. Published in the Cheboygan Daily Tribune, April 13, 2012.
