Mrs. Nancy A. Burdick, wife of Charles C. Burdick, daughter of Wm. Maxson Potter and Sophronia Palmeter Potter, was born in Alfred, N. Y., Sept. 21, 1856, and died at her home in Alfred, East Valley, June 12, 1902.
She was united in marriage with Mr. Burdick March 30, 1878. There was born unto them one daughter, Alice C. Burdick, who survives here. In early life she became the subject of saving grace through faith in Christ, put him on by baptism and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church of Hartsville, N. Y., continuing her covenant relations with that church until called, as we believe, into abiding fellowship of the Church Triumphant. She was quiet and unassuming in disposition and deportment, faithful and efficient in the service and ministry of the home life, a devoted wife, mother, daughter and friend. Her death brings the conscious sense of loss and sincere sorrow to a large circle of kindred and friends, who are sustained by the confident assurance that she has, in the change we know as death, fallen asleep in Christ, to awake in his likeness as the heir and the inheritor of everlasting life. "Even so them also which sleep in Jesus will be with him."
