"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 60, No 23, p 365, June 6, 1904.

Courtland Nathan Burch, the son of Nathan Burch, Jr., and Temperance Brown,
was born Sept. 7, 1837, in Brookfield, N. Y., in the same house where he died,
May 12, 1904, in the 67th year of his age.

He married Miss Anna J. Maxson, Jan. 9, 1860. To them were born Lacy M. and
Horace C. Burch, and an only daughter, who died in infancy. Mrs. Burch died
Jan. 20, 1898, and Mr. Burch married Mrs. Sarah Hills Woodworth, who with the
two sons, a sister, Mrs. Calvin Whitford, and other relatives, and friends,
mourn their great loss. Nearly the whole life of our brother has been passed in
the home of his childhood, and the scenes of his youth.

He united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church, of Brookfield, at
Leonardsville, in early life, and continued a beloved member to the end. A man
of few words, but with deep convictions and sterling traits of character, he was
much esteemed by his fellow townsmen as a friend and genial companion.

He had been a strong healthy man until last winter, since which time his
health has been failing, but he was feeling well the sixth day before his death,
until stricken suddenly in the evening with apoplexy, and remained unconscious
until the silent messenger called him home.

Funeral services were conducted at his late pleasant home by his pastor, I.
L. Cottrell, assisted by Pastor A. C. Davis, of the Seventh-day Baptist Church
of West Edmeston, and also by Mr. F. H. Babcock, Miss Jessie Burdick, Miss Iva
Burdick, and Mr. and Mrs. Angel, who furnished appropriate and excellent music.
