ln Scott, N. Y., Feb. 16, 1894, Benjamin S. Burdick, aged 80 years and 11 days.
Brother Burdick was the son of Joseph and Polly Stillman Burdick. He united with the Scott Seventh-day Baptist church, Sept. 14, 1841, with which he remained a worthy member until removed by death. He was a man of few words, but very conscientious in his religious convictions. For about twenty years he had lived apart from the people of his choice, but continued very exact in his observance of the Bible Sabbath. Since Brother Burdick's return to the Scott society about five months since, he has frequently expressed a deep interest in Christ as a personal Saviour, and died as he had lived trusting in his atoning merits. He leaves a son and daughter, two brothers, and two sisters to await the summons that calls them away.
