"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 12, No 39, p 155, Mar. 6, 1856.
In Genesee, Allegany Co., N. Y., on the 22d of February, Mrs. Elizabeth Burdick, in the one hundredth year of her age. Mrs. B., or "Aunt Lizzie," as she was familiarly called, was a member of the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church of Genesee, and had always sustained a good reputation for piety. Matured for heaven by the discipline instant to her long earthly pilgrimage, she approached the dying hour without fear, and peacefully resigned her soul to the Savious in whom she had put her trust. She was a woman of small stature, but remarkably active in her movements, and retained her faculties, bodily and mental, in a wonderful degree, to the last. Only a short time before her death, she was visiting among her friends, from house to house, to the distance of two or three miles from home. Such was her agility at the age of ninety-five, that she ranged the high hills of Genesee, in company with some young people, to gather blackberries. But her toils on earth are ended, and she sleeps in Jesus.
