In West Hallock, Ill., Jan. 29, 1882, of inflammation of the stomach, Elisabeth, wife of Edward W. Burdick, and daughter of Peleg and Hannah Saunders, in her 54th year. She made a profession of religion between thirteen and fourteen years of age, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Berlin, N. Y. In the year 1862 or 1863 she united with the Southampton Church, and lived and died in the triumphs of faith, saying while the angel of death waited for her, 'Oh it is all so glorious, but I am too weak to tell you.' She leaves a husband, and four children whom she adopted and reared, who felt all their sunshine grow strangely dark at her departure; yet they know they will meet her, never to be parted, on the unseen shore. A. H.
