In the year 1856 he came to Wisconsin and settled near Milton. Here he was within a few years bereft of his wife, Phebe Celestia, a woman respected and beloved by all who knew her, the daughter of Abel G. Burdick, formerly of Verona, N. Y. Bro Burdick married for his second wife H. Lovinia, daughter of Dea. A. P. Stillman, and having settled in Utica, he united with the Utica church, in June, 1867, of which he was a faithful and zealous member till his death. Bro. Burdick followed peddling for many years, and was known to be scrupulously honest in all his dealings. He was keenly alive to every Christian obligation and so sensitive to his convictions of duty as to suffer wrong, lest he might do wrong. His funeral was held at the Rock River Church, and his remains buried there beside those of his first wife. His widow and a son survive him. W.
