Mary T. Burdick was born in Plainfield, N. Y., January 28, 1835, and died at her home in Dodge Center, Minn., April 16, 1912, aged 77 years, 2 months, and 18 days.
She was the daughter of Dea. Nathan M. and Clarissa Ann West Burdick of honored memory. She was married October 28, 1854, to Mr. Joseph N. Langworthy of Hopkinton, R. I. To this union were born two children, W. A. and A. N. Langworthy, both of Dodge Center.
Sister Langworthy had been for many years a faithful member of the Dodge Center Church, having united with it soon after moving here, which was in 1859. She was a woman of pronounced views and strong convictions. It was her delight to converse on matters of religion and to discuss knotty problems. She had a keen and ready mind and was a great reader. For a year or two she had been in poor health and it grieved her that she was unable to attend the services of the church she so loved.
Funeral services were held at the house Wednesday afternoon, conducted by her late pastor, Rev. C. S. Sayre, who had only that morning returned from London, and the remains were laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery, by the side of her husband who passed on seventeen years ago. C. S. S
