ELLA AGNES BURDICK

Ella Agnes Burdick, wife of Earl M. Burdick, passed away at her home in Mt. Upton early Saturday morning, November 14^th, 1931, after a long and serious illness. She had been in very poor health for several years during which time she had suffered several strokes, each one of which had left her in a more weakened condition. On November 5^th she suffered another severe stroke from which she never rallied and death came as a blessed relief from her long sufferings.

Mrs. Burdick was born in the town of Pittsfield on August 20, 1872, the daughter of John and Esther O'Connell, and her early life was spent in that township. In 1897 she was united in marriage with Lyman Patrick, also of Pittsfield, and to them was born one son, Lester Patrick, who now survives his mother. Mr. Patrick died in 1905 and she then resided in Morris until March 15, 1910, when she was united in marriage with Earl M. Burdick of Pittsfield. Mr. and Mrs. Burdick then removed to Rockwell's Mills and their home has since been there and in Mr. Upton.

Since coming to Mt. Upton, Mrs. Burdick has made a host of friends who have come to know her as a true friend and neighbor, one who was always willing and glad to do for others so long as her health permitted.

Besides her husband and son, Mrs. Burdick is survived by a sister, Mrs. Thomas Hume, of Edmeston; a brother, John O'Connell, of New Berlin, and by several nieces and nephews.

The funeral services were held from her late home on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. O. B. Young, pastor of the Methodist church of which Mrs. Burdick has long been a member, officiating. Burial was in the family plot in Hillington cemetery at Morris. Many beautiful floral pieces were an expression of the love and esteem held for Mrs. Burdick by her relatives and friends.

To Mr. Burdick, who has so patiently and devotedly cared for his wife during her long illness, the sincere sympathy of the community will be given in his bereavement.

McClellan, Dr. John M. 1865-1931 Oneonta Obituary

McClellan, Dr. John M. 1865-1931 Oneonta Obituary

Dr. J. M. McClellan

Stricken Suddenly

Conscientious Practitioner

Here for 33 Years Victim

of Angina Pectoris

Dr. John M. McClellan, for the past 43 years a medical practitioner in Hartwick and Oneonta, the last 33 years in this city, died suddenly yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock at his farm located near the county tuberculosis sanatorium at Mt. Vision from angina pectoris.

Dr. McClellan left Oneonta about 1 o'clock for the farm and after his arrival there had started to mow the lawn. However, he cut but one strip through the grass before he had warning of his condition, for he stopped then and went to his car. It was not until about 4 o'clock that it was found that he was dead. Fred Walters noticing that he was apparently sleeping behind the wheel of his car on a trip past the farm, and upon his return he noticed that Dr. McClellan had not moved.

He called a friendly greeting, sensing that something might be wrong, and when the man failed to respond he went to the car. Mr. Walters immediately notified Dr. Frank C. Winsor at the sanatorium, who rushed to the scene, accompanied by nurses from the institution. Upon their arrival it was found that Dr. McClellan had apparently been dead for some time and Dr. Winsor pronounced angina pectoris the cause. From the position of his hands it is thought that in his last seconds he reached for a hypodermic needle in his pocket.

While Dr. McClellan's family had noticed that he seemed to be somewhat unsteady on a motor trip Sunday, it was thought that this was due to heavy traffic and in the absence of any comment from him little more consideration was given to his condition. A family gathering was held at the home Sunday and he seemed to be in usual health, as he did yesterday morning.

Funeral services will be held from the family home, 17 Elm street, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Dr. James C. Russell and Rev. C. Frederic Fraser, pastors of the first Presbyterian church. Burial will be made in the family plot of the cemetery at Laurens.

John M. McClellan was born January 29, 1865, at Albany, the son of William and Sarah (Riddell) McClellan. He attended the Albany public schools and later graduated from Albany Business college, the Albany College of Pharmacy and Albany Medical college, in the class of 1888 from the latter institution.

He had practiced his profession for the past 43 years, first at Hartwick for 11 years, during which he spent a period of about a year at Fort Wayne, Ind. He came to Oneonta in 1898 and this city had since been his home. Dr. McClellan was keenly devoted to his profession and rarely did he fail to respond to a call, regardless of his own physical condition or the obstacles of the journey, sometimes taking him many miles through winter snow. For a period of 11 years he was able to answer every call, whether in the city or the surrounding community.

As this record indicates, Dr. McClellan took more than usual interest in his patients and oftentimes he was at the bedside of one critically ill, practically 24 hours a day for eight or ten consecutive days. With such close application to his cases, he had been a successful practitioner and he had won innumerable friends among his patients and those who observed his application to his chosen work.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Maude (Field) McClellan, whom he married at Hartwick in 1894; three children, Harry J. McClellan, of 103 East street, manager of the Liggett store here, John McClellan, residing at home, and Miss Dorothy McClellan, a student at Albany Business college; one granddaughter, Betty Jane McClellan; and a brother, William McClellan, of Binghamton. To them he was particularly devoted and they will have the sincere sympathy of wide circles of friends in their loss. A son, Mathew, did as an infant a number of years ago and a daughter, Miss Marguerite McClellan, died at Nutley, N. J., in 1920.

Dr. McClellan was of a family which has shown itself particularly interested in ministering to human illness, conspicuous success having been attained by brothers and cousins in medicine and nursing service. However, none gave more liberally of their effort than did Dr. John M. McClellan, whose sacrifice of physical strength to his work brought his sudden passing.

Dr. McClellan and Frank H. Bresee, president of the Oneonta Department store, organized the Hartwick water company during the time they were both residents of that village and both remained directors of that venture, being close personal friends and having been engaged in other enterprises, among them the Central hotel company.

Cooperstown, July 16---The home of Dr. and Mrs. Charles W.

Immediately following the ceremony, the wedding party motored to Pierson Terrace, where the wedding supper was served. There were twenty-one covers laid at the bride's table, which was most attractively decorated with sweet peas in variegated colors, the center-piece being a two-tier wedding cake surmounted by a miniature bride and bridegroom.

During the past year she has taught dramatics in the Cobleskill High school, in which position she is continuing next year.

Odell, Eva Talbot 1855-1830 Edmeston Obituary

EVA TALBOT ODELL

While the sun was set and the clocks were announcing the advent of the Sabbath Day of rest, Mrs. Eva Odell, leaving her friends behind, and passing through the parted veil, entered the Eternal Rest, just beyond the reach and ken of human mind. Her bodily strength gone, eaten out by some insidious poison which stealthily entered her system, her spirit quietly took its flight, leaving to her loved ones the house of clay and a rich possession of precious memories.

Her life span of nearly 76 years, full of kindly thoughts and helpful deeds, was from April 4, 1855 to December 7, 1930. A native of Edmeston and spending her entire life here, yet her interests and sympathy were as wide as wide as humanity. For over 40 years she lived in her late home on South Street. Naturally she saw many changes in her native and well beloved village.

Eva Talbot Odell is the last of five children born to the late Joseph and Lucretia Bemis Talbot. She was of pioneer stock, her father being an early settler on farm lands just east of Edmeston. Her grandfather Bemis bought from the Indians farm lands a mile and a half east of the village which has been a possession of the family till recently, pacing off so many paces long and so many paces wide from a certain tree. Her father gave from his farm the land that now constitutes Union Cemetery, her former husband, the late Abraham Varley, being the first to be buried there.

Mrs. Odell received her education in the schools of Edmeston. In 1874 she was united in marriage to Abraham Varley, who died ten years later from results of a seemingly slight accident, leaving one son, Luke E. On July 24, 1894, she was united in marriage to Henry A. Odell, who with the son survives. She was as faithful and true a wife as she was a tender and beautiful mother.

In 1877 Mrs. Odell united with the Second Baptist church, of which she continued a faithful and devoted member till she left to join the church Victorious. Her christian life was of singular strength and beauty. Her church shared liberally with her home of her time, talents, strength and love. As a regular attendant of all services of the church, as an efficient member of the choir, as a faithful Sunday School teacher, as a quiet leader in the Missionary society and the W. C. T. U., her place will be hard to fill. Of her were literally true the words of Timothy Dwight:

I love Thy kingdom, Lord,

The house of Thine abode,

The church our blest Redeemer

saved

With His own precious blood.

For her my tears shall fall,

For her my prayers ascend,

To her my cares and toils be given

Till toils and cares shall end.

According to her wish her funeral obsequies were held at the church she so much loved, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Dr. John F. Weinhauer. The beautiful floral tribute and the large gathering of friends and fellow citizens bore silent testimony to the high esteem in which the departed was held.

The deceased leaves to mourn her departure her husband, H. A. Odell of Edmeston, her son, Luke Varley, of West Winfield; a grandson, Leslie Varley, of Frankfort; a granddaughter, Thelma Varley, of West Winfield; a great grandson, John Sherden, of West Winfield; two nephews, J. C. Talbot of Kansas City and Prof. H. W. Talbot, professor in Oshkosh Teachers College, Oshkosh, Wisconsin; and one niece, Mrs. Carrie Burdick of Edmeston.

Her body was laid to rest in Union Cemetery.
