"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 70, No 8 p 255, Feb. 20, 1911. At the home of her son, Eldon Burdick, in Minneapolis, Minn., on January 14, 1911, Mrs. Nettie A. Walker, in the seventy-second year of her age. Sister Walker was the daughter of Wells K. Greene and Rosanna Witter Greene. She was born at Adams, N. Y., on November 16, 1839. In 1860 she was married to Dr. Edwin Burdick of Walworth, Wis. Of this union there are two sons living, Eldon G. of Minneapolis and Orville G. of North Loup, Neb. Dr. Burdick died in 1869. In 1871, Mrs. Burdick married Warren Walker of Monticello, Minn. Mrs. Walker is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Pearl Morrison. A farewell service was held in Minneapolis, where words of comfort were spoken by Elder Underwood of the Seventh-day Adventist church. The burial was at New Auburn by the side of her father and mother, when a service was held by Elder Harry and the choir of the Seventh-day Baptist church. Beginning her Christian life as a Seventh-day Baptist, she always kept her interest in our people, where so many of her loved ones were at work, but in later life she became a Seventh-day Adventist. Mrs. Walker was of a religious nature and her faith and love found expression in many ways that will make her memory a blessing to her family and friends. "She hath done what she could." Her works do follow her. G. B. S.

Dr. Edwin Burdick
The subject of this notice was born in Darien, N.Y., Feb. 12th, 1826. When about sixteen years of age, he professed faith in Christ, and was baptized into the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Darien, by Eld. W. B. Gillette. A few years after, he entered the Alfred Academy, and pursued a thorough course of study in that institution. Thrown as he was upon his own resources, he went nobly at the work of self-support and self-culture, greatly encouraged by Eld. N. V. Hull, in whose family he lived during most of his stay in Alfred. He at once became enamored of the study of Anatomy, Physiology, and the Laws of Health, and by his devotion to these studies, laid the foundation for that thorough mastery and enthusiastic practice of the healing art, which placed him among the most eminent and useful physicians in the country. He took his degree of M. D. at Castleton, Vt., in June, 1851, and entered at once upon practice in Western New York. About thirteen years ago, he removed to Walworth, Wis., where, by enthusiastic devotion to his noble profession, he won a practice and a reputation second to few in the State, and where he literally wore himself out, and in the prime of life died in the harness, when it seemed his life was most valuable. By day and by night he labored for his patients, when he was sicker than they and when scarcely able to rise from his bed, answered a call, and was so prostrated that he had to be carried home, and in twenty-four hours died, a martyr to his devotion to his chosen profession, March 26, 1859. His disease, the diabetes, had been preying upon him for several years. He knew full well that it was drying the fountains of his life, and that it would soon end his earthly career, but it was his highest ambition to die at his post, devoting himself to the good of others. This he did, with an unfaltering trust in Christ his Saviour. His last words were words of trust and hope of salvation, through the healing of the great Physician. Though he was educated to the allopathic practice, he soon became convinced of the superiority of homeopathic remedies, and it was by the use of these he achieved his success. He will be missed by a large circle of patrons and friends. He leaves a wife and four children, to mourn his loss, and that of a darling little boy, who died but a week before his father. The funeral was largely attended, and sermon preached by Rev. D. E. Maxson, of Milton, from these words: “But the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” D. E. M.
