George Noyes Burdick was born in the town of Stonington, Conn., March 29, 1849, and died in Westerly, R. I., May 15, 1918. He was the son of Deacon Isaac and Mary Louise (Babcock) Burdick, one of a family of seven [sic] children, only one of whom, Deacon Thomas T. Burdick, of Alfred, N. Y., survives him.
He was married September 12, 1876, to Ada Langworthy, of Potter Hill, R. I., by Dean Arthur E. Main, then pastor of the Ashaway Church. One son was born to them, Henry L., who with the wife was able to be with him during his sickness.
Mr. Burdick was a member of the First Hopkinton Seventh Day Baptist Church of Ashaway, uniting with that body April 28, 1866. He was an ardent supporter of the church all his life.
He took part in many of the business enterprises of the communities in which he lived. At one time he was in the John E. Potter publishing house at Philadelphia. At the time of his death he was vice president of the Ashaway National Bank and a director in both the Tennessee and the Ashaway Line and Twine Companies.
Brother Burdick always had a happy way with him which made him a great many friends with all classes of people, especially with the children and young people. These share deeply with the family in the loss that has come.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Clayton A. Burdick, pastor of the Pawcatuck Church, where, for a number of years, Mr. Burdick had been a regular attendant. Rev. S. H. Davis, a close friend of the family, assisted in the service.
