Notes for Phebe CRANDALL
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 48, No 35, p 560, Sep. 1, 1892.
In Nile, N. Y., Aug. 18, 1892, Mrs. Phebe Crandall Burdick, wife of Silas Burdick, in the 72d year of her age.
She was born in Brookfield, N. Y., where she lived until 1844. Four years after her marriage she moved with her husband to the town of Genesee. Ten years later they moved to Dodge's Creek, where they remained until about 17 years ago, when they removed to Nile, which has been their home since that time. Early in life she gave her heart to the Lord, and has ever since lived a quiet, unassuming, Christian life. She had no enemies, but all who knew her knew her but to love her. She had no fear of death, but passed into the presence of her Lord in perfect peace and resignation. She leaves a husband, two sons and two daughters to mourn her loss. M. B. K.

Silas Burdick was born in Brookfield, N. Y., September 9, 1817, and died on Dodge's Creek, N. Y., October 16, 1909, being 92 years, 1 month and 1 week old.
Brother Burdick came to Allegany Co., N. Y., in February, 1844, and settled on Dodge's Creek in the town of Genesee, which with the exception of a short time at Nile, N. Y., has ever since been his home. He was baptized and united with the West Genesee Seventh-day Baptist Church in 1854 and continued his membership with that body until the church disbanded about two years ago. For a number of years he was clerk of the church and for a time its treasurer. He held at different times offices in his home town and was an active participant in the affairs of State and Nation and had voted at every presidential election since and including that of 1840. In that year (1840) he was married to Phebe Crandall, by whom he had five children, three of whom are still living: Mrs. Elvira Keller and Silas G. of Dodge's Creek and Lavern of Nile, N. Y. Mrs. Burdick died in August, 1892.
Funeral services were held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Keller, October 18, 1909, conducted by the pastor of the First Genesee Seventh-day Baptist Church. Words were spoken suggested by Heb. xi, 8-10. S. H. B.
