From "The Sabbath Recorder" Vol 79 No 15, October 11, 1915. Deaths. p. 480.

"Niles S. Burdick, of Edelstein, Ill., was born at Lincklaen, N.Y., August 26, 1841, and died after a brief illness September 20, 1915, aged 74 years and 24 days.
A large portion of his early life was passed at DeRuyter, N.Y., where he received his education. In 1856 he removed with his parents to West Hallock, Ill. Here he learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed during the rest of his life. His neighbors and acquaintances unite in a tribute of appreciation of the skill, integrity and uprightness of Brother Burdick as a mechanic and a man.
In 1862 he was married to Marvel C. Davis. Eight children were born to them: Frank, of Peoria, Ill.; William (deceased); Welcome, of Center Point,Iowa; John, of Aurora, Ill.; Lynn and George, of Edelstein, Mrs. Edith Otto, of Edelstein; and Clara (deceased).
Brother Burdick was a staunch Christian man who lived daily his Christian belief, in his home and in his business relations. Early in his life he made a public profession of faith in Christ and became a strong worker in the Seventh Day Baptist Church at West Hallock. For nearly fifty years he served the church as one of its deacons, and that little group will miss greatly the counsel and services of the brother who was so deeply interested in the church and the progress of God's truth. The large gathering of friends and acquaintances at the funeral services was a fitting expression of the love and respect in which they held Brother Burdick. Because there was no pastor at West Hallock, the funeral services were conducted y Rev. Henry N. Jordan of Milton Junction, Wis. Burial was in the beautiful cemetery at Edelstein {Ill.}. H. H. J."
