ELLA
AGNES BURDICK
Ella Agnes Burdick, wife of Earl M. Burdick, passed
away at her home in Mt. Upton early Saturday morning, November 14th,
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 5th 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.
