    1. [PALACKAW] BURDICK Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Lawrance BURDICK which was taken at the Yarrington Studio in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Lawrance appearing to be about 5 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a BURDICK Family researcher I believe that this is a photograph of Lawrence Herbert BURDICK b. 27 Jul 1878 in Greenfield, PA to parents Dorance BURDICK (son of Billings BURDICK and Abigail WHIPPLE) and Zella Jane MATTHEWS (dau of Ebin T. MATTHEWS and Phoebe Jane DAVIS) and d. 11 Dec 1898. Census records provide the following information regarding the family: 1880 census of Greenfield, PA: Dorrance B. BURDICK, age 32, born PA, a Farmer, parents born PA Zella J. BURDICK, wife, age 27, born ME, Keeping House, parents born ME Walter M. BURDICK, son, age 10, born PA, at Home (Walter Matthews BURDICK married Mary A. LEE) Fred L. BURDICK, son, age 9, born PA, at Home (Fred LaGrande BURDICK married Cora E. PIERCE) Alice E.

BURDICK, son, age 5, born PA (Ralph Henry BURDICK married Mary CARLSON) Laurence BURDICK, son, age 1, born PA (died unmarried) Louis E. BURDICK, son, age 6 months, born PA (Lewis Ebin BURDICK married Libbie I. WALLACE) Charles E. CROSS, other, age 21, born PA, a Farm Laborer, parents born NY Alice A. DECKER, other, age 22, born PA, a Servant, parents born Germany/PA Based on BURDICK Family records four more children were born after the 1880 census as follows: Flora Jane BURDICK b. 7 Aug 1884, married Lewis S. LEE Lucille May BURDICK b. 27 Jun 1889, married Kirt E. MILLER Mabel Zella BURDICK b. 2 Nov 1891, died at age 14 (twins) Myrtle Adella BURDICK b. 2 Nov 1891, died at age 6 (twins) I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
