In Milton, Wis., Sept. 3d, 1864, of dysentery, Asa Burdick, aged 78 years, 1 month, and 19 days. In early life, Bro. Burdick experienced religion, and united with the First Alfred Church in Allegany Co., N. Y., where he remained a worthy member until about eleven years since, when he removed to Wisconsin and united with the church at Milton. Bro. Burdick was one of the number who, believing that the cause of Christ could be better served in a separate church, asked to be set off from the Milton church, which resulted in the organization of the Rock River Church. Since that time, until his death, he has been a faithful and efficient member of that church. In his death, the Church feel they have lost a grave counsellor, and an efficient worker in sustaining the interests of Christ's visible church. But they feel that what is their loss is his eternal gain. B. F. R.
