In DeRuyter, Madison Co., N. Y., Feb. 18, 1883, of paralysis, Albert G. Burdick, aged about 76 years. The deceased was the son of Thompson and Sarah Coon Burdick, and was born March 23, 1807, in the town in which he always lived and in which he died. He leaved four children, F. M. Burdick, mayor of the city of Utica, N. Y., P. A. Burdick, a lawyer, who has been successful in the lecture field for the past five years, battling against the monster evil, intemperance; B. F. Burdick, and C. Pearlie, wife of L. R. Green, residents of the old family farm, which has been occupied by the family since 1795.
Although he was never a member of the church, yet he had Christian experience in early manhood. He lived an untarnished life, and died at peace with God, and all men. During the last years, especially the last months of his life, he gave attention to preparation for the future life. Accepted by Jesus, he came to the end of his pilgrimage in peace, and triumphed over death through faith in the precious name. J. C.
