At her home in Little Genesee, N. Y., Jan. 16, 1903, Mrs. Sally Maxson Burdick, lacking one week of being 81 years of age. She was the daughter of Zaccheus R. and Temperance Coon Maxson, and was born in Truxton, Cortland county, N. Y. In 1832 she, with her father's family, removed to Little Genesee where she spent the rest of her life, excepting one year in Iowa, and a short time each in Alfred, Richburg, Dodges Creek and Main Settlement, N. Y. In 1835 she united with the First Genesee church, with which she always retained her membership, save for a brief time that she was a member of the First Alfred church. She was united in marriage to Daniel M. Burdick in 1837, and lived with him nearly 63 years when he was called from earth. To them were born five children, two of them now living. She passed through the pioneer experience in Little Genesee, and knew what toil, sacrifice and suffering meant. She was a devout Christian wife and mother. She greatly rejoiced when she saw the last of her children and her grandchildren unite themselves with the church. Her life was a benediction to the church and community. Her funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Jan. 18, 1903. Text, Col. 3: 2. D. B. C.
