He was a member of the Milton Junction Seventh-day Baptist Church. In the absence of the pastor, funeral services were conducted by Eld. J. C. Rogers. Sermon from Heb. 9: 22-28. J. C. R. "The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, May 25, 1922, p 1. Lucy Delcenia Crandall was born in Fulton Co., Ill., September 19, 1860. Her parents were Charles and Rebecca Crandall. In the spring of 1869 her parents moved to Farina, Ill., which was her home until her marriage to Gaudentia D. Burdick, which occurred on March 22, 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Burdick then came to Wisconsin to make their home in the vicinity of Milton. Mr. Burdick was deceased November 6, 1888. On January 22, 1895, Mrs. Burdick was married to Ernest C. Burnett. For a long time Mrs. Burnett had suffered, severely at times, from an incurable malady. But she bore her sufferings uncomplainingly, and few outside her immediate family knew of her ailment. Recently she became more seriously ill, and passed away Friday morning, May 19, 1922. Besides her husband, she is survived by three sons, Lee Burdick, of New York city, Charles Burdick, who lives at home, George C. Burnett, of San Francisco, Cal., and a daughter, Jessie Burnett, who lives at home. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. R. J. Maxson, of Gentry, Ark., and three brothers, William and Lincoln Crandall of Farina, Ill., and Clark Crandall of Milton. Mrs. Burnett was a christian believer who tried to demonstrate in her daily life the virtues of sincerity, integrity, generosity and neighborliness. She made public profession of faith in Christ while living at Farina and was baptised into the fellowship of the Seventh Day Baptist church by Rev. Charles Lewis, who was pastor. Her membership was transferred to the church of like faith at Milton, in whose fellowship she remained loyal till the time of her death. Memorial services were held at the church on Monday morning, May 22, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Henry N. Jordan. Interment was at Milton Junction.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 44, No 52, p 8, Dec. 27, 1888. In Calamus, Neb., Dec. 12, 1888, Charles Coon, in the 91st year of his age. Bro. Coon became a follower of Christ in early life being baptized, I think, by Elder Satterlee, while he lived in Berlin, N. Y. Early in the settlement of Alfred he removed there and bore, with others, the burdens incident to these times. He became one of the constituent members of the First Alfred, Second Alfred, and Milton [and Albion] Churches, thus showing that he was among the first to bear the burdens, and share the blessings of those who sought first the kingdom of heaven, and he has left behind him a good example for those who are settling up new places. Bro. Coon and his wife (who went before him to the better land), united with the North Loup Church, Aug. 5, 1876. Since we have known him he has been a faithful Christian. One of his chief sources of comfort and enjoyment in these later years has been the passages of scripture he could remember which he learned while young. Although he could not remember the ordinary affairs of life, from day to day, he could remember these words of his Lord. He came down to his grave "like a shock of corn in its season." He was brought to North Loup for his funeral and interment, for he desired to be laid to rest with his brethren. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." G. J. C.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 47, No 13, p 208, Mar. 26, 1891. Near Dodge Centre, Minn., March 15, 1891, of abscess in the head, Mrs. Delia M., wife of Ervin L. Babcock, and daughter of Perry Sweet, aged 56 years, 5 months and 18 days. The deceased began life in Alfred, N. Y. Thence she came to Milton, Wis.; thence to Coloma, Wis., after marriage in 1856; and thence to Dodge county, Minn., in 1863. She gave her heart to God in early life, and lived a good, Christian woman. Her death is a severe loss, not only to the family, but also to the church and community. It seems hard to give up such a wife, mother, and Christian worker at such a time of life. Her funeral was largely attended at the church, March 17th, when the pastor spoke from the text, "Be of good cheer, it is I; Be not afraid." Mark 6: 50. S. R. W. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 48, No 20, p 320, May 19, 1892. At Eagle Lake, Minn., May 5, 1892, of cholera morbus, after a very painful sickness of seventeen hours, Ervin L. Babcock, in the 63d year of his age. He had lived near Dodge Centre, Minnesota, since 1863, until quite recently. He married the second time and went to Eagle Lake to make his home. At 17 years of age Bro. Babcock united with the Scott Seventh-day Baptist Church. He became a member of what is now the Dodge Centre Church when he came to Minnesota, and held his membership till death. Bro. Babcock was an active, industrious man, generous by nature, open-hearted, sympathies easily aroused, and quick to act. He honored his word; a promise made he would exhaust all energies to fulfill that promise. Three sons and three daughters, all grown to manhood and womanhood, now mourn the loss of both father and mother. The funeral was attended at Dodge Centre, on Sabbath, May 7th, by a large company.

"The Milton Journal", Milton, Wisconsin, Thursday, June 2, 1904, p 4. Dea. Wm. B. West was born in Durhamville, Oneida county, N. Y., Feb. 24, 1833, and died of valvular disease of the heart in Milton Junction, Wis., May 19, 1904. His father and mother were Baptists and attendants of that church, so that his early religious training was with them. The family came to Wisconsin in 1844, coming by the way of the Erie canal to Buffalo and by lake steamer thence to Milwaukee and they made their first settlement on a farm a few miles south of Ft. Atkinson. In 1848 they moved to Spring Prairie, in Walworth county, where the father died and the son was left at this early age to his own resources. About this time Brother West attended a district school where the teacher was especially good and under his encouragement he came to have a great desire for a college education; and with this object in view, he accompanied this teacher to Oberlin, Ohio, and entered the school. There was a great revival of religion in progress at the time, and Bro. West was soon among the seekers for Christ, whom he found and greatly rejoiced in forgiveness of sins and the hope of eternal life. The professors in the college gave great encouragement to the converts. Every session of the classes was opened by prayer and these young people were often invited to lead in these devotions, thus receiving a training similar to that now received in the Young People's societies. For various reasons Mr. West did not remain long in Oberlin, but returning to Spring Prairie he united with the Baptist church of that place. In 1849 for the purpose of gratifying his desire for a higher education he came to Milton Academy, where he became a convert to the Sabbath of the Lord and since then he has been faithful in its observance. Although he did not obtain the liberal training he desired for himself, his interest in training schools continued as shown in the generous contributions made at various times for their support. At the age of seventeen he taught his first district school and in this work he became quite proficient. Sept. 23, 1852, he was married to Isaphena, daughter of Ethan and Amy Allen Burdick, of Lima. In 1854 they moved to Utica, Dane county, Wis., and a year from that time he united with the Seventh-day Baptist church of that place, remaining a faithful and efficient member until its dissolution. In December, 1865, he was elected and ordained a deacon of that church. A very large part of his active and useful Christian life was spent in teaching or superintending Sabbath schools, and he did considerable institute work among the Sabbath schools of this section of the country. He was often called to serve his fellow citizens in offices of honor and trust and was especially efficient and satisfactory in his work and in his wise counsel to those who sought his aid. For twenty-six consecutive years he has been the treasurer of the Seventh-day Baptist Northwestern association and a member of its executive committee. In June 1901, Bro. West became a member of the Milton Junction S. D. B. church. His long life has been filled with usefulness and faithful service and this church feels greatly its loss. He leaves a wife, one son, Allen B. of Lake Mills, Wis.; two daughters, Mrs. W. H. Allen of Alfred, N. Y., and Mrs. W. D. Burdick of Nile, N. Y.; twelve grandchildren and many other relatives and friends to mourn his departure. His eldest son, Wm. Leman, went before to the spirit land thirteen years ago. G. J. C. "The Milton Journal", Milton Wisconsin, Thursday, June 14, 1906, p 4. Isaphena Burdick West was born in Allegany county, New York, June 27, 1828, and died at Milton Junction, Wisconsin, June 5, 1906, in the seventy-eighth year of her age. She was the daughter of Ethan and Amy Allen Burdick who were originally from Rhode Island. In 1841 she came with her parents to Wisconsin, and in the year following they settled upon a farm in the town of Lima. In 1851 she was baptized by Elder Stillman Coon and joined the Milton [SDB] church. While attending Milton Academy she became acquainted with William B. West, to whom she was married September 23, 1852, by Rev. Varnum Hull. After living in Milton nearly two years she, with her husband and infant son removed to Christiana, Dane county, Wisconsin, and settled upon a farm. September, 1855, she joined by letter, the Christiana, which was later the Utica church, of which she remained a faithful member until the dissolution of the church in 1901. She then joined the church at Milton Junction to which place she and her husband had removed in 1891. She was an earnest worker in the church and Sabbath school, in which she was an efficient teacher. In her home life she was a faithful wife and devoted mother, unsparing of herself in her labors for her family. To her and her husband were born four children: William Leman, who died in 1891; Allen B. of Lake Mills; Amy S., Now Mrs. W. H. Allen; and Nettie I., now Mrs. W. D. Burdick of Farina, Ill.
