| Shared note | "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 72, No 17, p 542, Apr. 22, 1912. In Alfred, N. Y., April 2, 1912, Mrs. Sarah Burdick, aged 78 years, 1 month and 22 days. Mrs. Sarah Sherman Burdick was born in the town of Norway, Herkimer Co., N. Y. She was the daughter of David and Minerva Horton Sherman. The family moved to West Union, Steuben Co., N. Y., when Sarah was seven years of age. Here in a home marked for its piety and benevolence she spent the remainder of her childhood and her youth. Two winters she attended school in Alfred - the town which under the providences of God was to be her future home and field of service. February 5, 1852, she and Milo Burdick were united in holy wedlock. After twenty-one happy, devoted years, this union was severed by the death of Mr. Burdick, October 13, 1873. To them were born four children, D. S. Burdick of Alfred, and three who died in infancy. Upon her husband's death Mrs. Burdick took up the management of the business affairs as well as the household, and handled them with success. Between Mrs. Burdick and her son there was the closest friendship and each sought every opportunity to minister to the other to the last. In 1852 she was baptizes and joined the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred, and for sixty years has been a faithful and loyal member. Liberality was one of the chief characteristics of her life. Her husband before his death had promised several hundred dollars to the University, expecting he was to live to pay it; this Mrs. Burdick paid, and time and again since has she responded to the calls from church and University for funds, and also stretched out her hands to the poor and needy, being able to do this not because she was wealthy, but because she planned and worked that she might do this very thing, and it was one of the chief delights of her life. The hundreds of students who have come to Alfred have known her best as a home maker. Here her life stands out unique in the history of the town and school in her generation. To the students she opened her home year after year and to those who came under her roof she made it a home indeed. She was above jealousy, and loyal to the truth and to her friends. From youth on through all the days of her life to know her was to love her. Besides the son she leaves to mourn her departure and cherish her memory, one brother, Mr. Eugene Sherman of Alfred, one sister, Mrs. A. C. Barney, of West Union, N. Y., and a very large circle of friends far and near, chief among whom is Miss Anna Stillman, who has been for twenty-four years been her companion and right-hand helper. Funeral services were held in the home, April 4, 1912. Pastor William L. Burdick read selections from the Scriptures, Dean A. E. Main offered prayer, the pastor and President Davis gave short addresses, and Eld. B. F. Rogers offered the closing prayer; Prof. A. Neil Annas furnished two appropriate selections of music. Interment took place in Alfred Rural Cemetery. Wm. L. B. |
