Mary E. (Greene) Burdick 1832-1901
Milton Newspaper Obituary
"The Rock Co. Journal"; Milton, Wisconsin; Thursday August 29, 1901, p 1.
Mrs. Mary Burdick was the daughter of the late Henry Green and was born at Alfred, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1832. Her mother was Martha Coon, sister of Elder Amos W. Coon, one of the early teachers of Milton academy, still living at Dodge Center, Minn. The family of Mr. Green came to Wisconsin and settled near Rock river in 1840, one of the earliest settlers in this part of the country. Here their two children, Mary and Paul M. grew up, receiving fair advantages for an education at the Milton academy, then in its infancy. On the 21st of October, 1858, shortly after her twenty-sixth birthday, the daughter was married to Matthew Stillman Burdick who departed this life in 1887 after nearly thirty years of happy and useful wedded life. Of their two children, the daughter, who married T. I. Place of this village, died just about one year after the father, and the son, who also was married, died a little more than a year later. Left thus alone, Mrs. Burdick went to the home of her brother where she remained as one of the family to the end and where she received every care and attention that loving hearts could devise and willing hands bestow. Mrs. Burdick was a woman of rare excellence of character, full of charity and good works. Her last illness, though long and at times painful, was borne with a patience and calm faith that was beautiful to see. A large circle of friends are bereaved by her departure.
The relatives from out of town in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Burdick were E. A. Burdick and wife, Mrs. J. A. Coon, Mrs. Electa Coon, Mrs. Julia Fuller, and James Ogden of Edgerton, Mrs. Irene Burdick of Los Angeles, Cal., S. R. Potter and wife, C. R. Green and wife, Joseph Green and wife, E.
