Minerva T. Knapp was born at Scott, N. Y., December 14, 1828. She came of an excellent family in which were six sons and four daughters. The only survivor is Clarence Knapp of Scott, N. Y. Another brother was Asher Knapp, who lived for a number of years at Utica, Wis., and for a short time at Milton. Mrs. F. E. Webster of Milton Junction is a daughter of his, and Mrs. Reuben Randolph a granddaughter.

She experienced religion when young. She was brought up to observe the seventh day as the Sabbath, but it is not known to the writer what her church affiliations were in early life. Since her home has been in Milton she has been a member of the S. D. B. church.

October 17, 1906, she was married at New Hope, N. Y. to Ellery H. Burdick of Milton, and since that time she has lived in this village. For some time her strength has been failing, and her mind losing its grasp. On the morning of June 28 she passed away.

She loved the services of the church, and it was a privation to her not to be able to attend in the last years of her life. She expressed faith in the Savior, and confidence in his promises.

Funeral services were conducted at the home June 30, by Pastor Randolph. A ladies quartet from the church choir sang beautiful hymns of faith. The pastor's text was John 3:16.
