Milton Newspaper Obituary
"The Weekly Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, May 7, 1891, p 4.
Died - At the home of his mother in Milton, April 25th, of consumption of the bowels and bronchial tubes, Henry Lee Burdick, son of the late Matthew S. and Mary E. Burdick, aged 24 years, 3 months and 23 days.
He was married to Miss Mary Alberti Flager Dec. 2, 1888. They lived very happily together until their separation by sickness and death. Henry was a great sufferer during the last six weeks of his illness; he was tenacious of life and fought a brave struggle for its continuance, but the hereditary tendency to this disease which took him from us was too powerful to be overcome by an indomitable will or medical skill. When once assured that he could not recover he yielded submissively to the indications of a wise province and died in peaceful resignation. Besides a sick wife who in all probability cannot long survive him, he leaves an almost heart-broken mother, now bereft of her husband and children, but God will graciously care for her and sanctify all her afflictions to her good, for "all things work together for good to them that love God."
