    At the home of their niece, Miss J. Belle Witter, in Tampa, Fla., April 16, 1934, Mrs. James T. Burdick, in the eighty-fourth year of her age.
    Harriet Francelia Witter was the tenth child in a family of eleven born to Squire Porter Witter and Mary Ann Bowler Witter. She was born January 9, 1851, near Nile, N. Y., and has lived there and at Friendship the most of her life. She was married in 1874.
    She is survived by two daughters and two sons: Grace, wife of George Smith of Alfred; Mary, widow of Virgil Kinney of Wellsville; Jennie T. Burdick of Buffalo; and Percy W. Burdick of Niagara Falls, all of New York. There are ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
    She has been a loyal member of the Friendship Seventh Day Baptist at Nile, N. Y., for sixty-eight years. She was baptized by Rev. L. A. Platts, married by Rev. Walter B. Gillette, and her funeral was conducted by rev. Geo. B. Shaw, assisted by Rev. E. H. Bottoms, the present pastor of the church at Nile, where the ministers just mentioned have served. The funeral was at Nile and the burial was at Friendship.
    For years Mrs. Burdick's home has been with her daughter in Wellsville, where in the sanitarium she worked an attendant, giving comfort and hope to the sick and discouraged. The sanitarium will never seem the same without her. A large group of nephews and nieces join with children and grandchildren as they call her blessed. She was "Aunt Franc" to hundreds of those now in middle life and beyond. Rev. E. A. Witter was a nephew.
