In Douglass Hospital, at Washington, D. C., Jan. 26th, 1863, Welcome C. Burdick, of Hopkinton, aged 53 years. In August last, he enlisted for three years or the war in the 7th Regiment R. I. V., and was with that regiment at the battle of Fredericksburg, where he was wounded in the knee. He lay for some time on the battle field, was afterward picked up, his limb amputated, and he was sent to the Hospital at Washington, where he died. He had been for a good many years a professor of religion, and from letters written by him near the close of his life, his friends are left to conclude that he met his fate with Christian composure and resignation.
