Daniel P. Freeborn was born in Lockport, N. Y., May 2, 1825, and died at his home in Lima, Wis., March 11, 1905. Brother Freeborn came to Wisconsin about 1845, Oct. 6, 1853, he married Amy A. Burdick and settled in Utica, Dane county, where he lived until 1855, when he moved to the home where he died. Of his near relatives his wife, two sons, one adopted daughter, two sisters and five grandchildren survive him.
Brother Freeborn became a Christian in his youth and united with a First-day Baptist church. One day he was conversing with his employer about the Sabbath and asked him where he could find the Bible authority for keeping the first day for the Sabbath. The answer was, "Daniel, you can not find it." This led to an investigation which resulted in his becoming a Sabbath keeper. Soon after this he united with the Seventh-day Baptist church at Milton, Wis., and in 1875 he became a constituent member of the Seventh-day Baptist church in Milton Junction, Wis.
He was a man of strong religious convictions, sought in every way to be a consistent Christian; believed the teachings of the Bible to be the rule of life, and that their teachings were given by the authority of God; and therefore it was man's place to implicitly obey. His character was formed upon this basis and for that reason he was a devout church member, a good neighbor and one in whom the people had confidence. "He rests from his labors and his works follow him."

Amy Ann (Burdick) Freeborn 1826-1911
"The Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Aug. 17, 1911, p 1.
Amy Ann Burdick was born in Alfred, N. Y., July 21, 1826, and died in the Town of Lima, Wis., August 10, 1911. She had passed her eighty-fifth milestone just twenty days before her death.
Her parents were among the first settlers in this country, coming from the East seventy years ago when the subject of this sketch was fifteen years of age. The Burdick family was a strong and influential one. Mrs. Freeborn was the last to go, but there are many members of the next generation, men and women who are good citizens and helpful members of society.
She was married Oct. 6, 1853, to Daniel P. Freeborn. They made their new home at Utica, but in 1855 they remove to Lima where they lived happily for fifty years, until the husband's death in 1905, and where Mrs. Freeborn lived until her death.
She was baptized in 1868 and joined the Milton Seventh-day Baptist church. When the Milton Junction church was organized she became a constituent member and lived in the fellowship of that church to the end of life. She was a quiet woman, a woman of few words, but a strong and constant character, one who was appreciated most by those who knew her best. She died in her old home where she had spent so many peaceful years, tenderly cared for in the closing days of her life by her son Oscar, and his family. The other children are: Irving L. of New Auburn, Wis., and Mrs. Sarah E. Griggs of Spencer, Ia.
The funeral services were conducted in the Seventh-day Baptist church at the regular hour of service Sabbath morning. Pastor A. J. C. Bond took for his text, Ecclesiastes 11:1, "Cast thy bread upon the waters," 12:1 "Remember now thy Creator, in the days of thy youth;" 12:6, 7, "Before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
Interment was made in the family lot in the Milton Junction cemetery.
