Philip Burdick, born in Rhode Island, July 1, 1814, had but few school advantages, as he had to accompany his parents to a new country when but ten years old, and the family was large, so that all able to do anything had to work. He helped his father on the farm until twenty-two years old, and became a practical man, energetic and earnest. In 1837 he married his cousin, Mary Burdick (born August 31, 1816), and bought a small farm near the church, whereon they remained a few years before removing to the present home. Both himself and wife assisted in the organization of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which he had been one of the honored deacons for over thirty years. For many years he has been its delegate to the Annual Conference, held in various parts of the country, and his counsels there and elsewhere are vulnerable. A Republican, he desires to place the best men in public places. The father of Mrs. Burdick was Elias 1780 - 1858),the youngest son of Stephen Burdick, before mentioned.
