Mrs. Burdick
Was a Prominent Woman in Kalamazoo County
GALESBURG, Mich. Oct. 21.-(Special)—Mrs. Lucinda Corey Burdick, whose death was announced in yesterday's Telegraph, was one whose life history was so thoroughly identified with that of the locality in which she lived and died, that the older people scarcely need information in regard to her career. Born April 26, 1836, in the state of New York, she was brought six months later, by her parents, Deacon Joseph and his wife, Gracia Corey, to Galesburg, where, with the exception of a brief interval at St. Joseph, she had since resided. In 1853 she married W. A. Burdick, whose ancestors were also among the very earliest settlers of Kalamazoo county. Three children were born to them, two having died in infancy. The survivor, Miss Nina Gracia Burdick, is a graduate of the local high school and now holds an important position as teacher in Grand Rapids. Besides her husband and daughter, above mentioned, a sister and two brothers survive as follows: Mrs. Elizabeth 0 . Smith of Des Moines, la., C. J. Corey of this village, and Freeman C. Corey of Linneus, Mo. Mrs. Burdick entertained decided opinions upon all questions and was a member of the Twentieth Century club of Kalamazoo, taking active part in its proceedings, when circumstances would permit her attendance. She occasionally contributed to current literature, her latest effort in that direction being a brief biography of General Shafter, contributed to the New York Herald which was very generously copied in the eastern press. A sketch of the old home of the general by Mrs. Burdick's daughter accompanied the article. The deceased was an early acquaintance and friend of the general and a visit by the latter to her bedside during her last illness, will remain to the general's credit in village traditions. Rev, R, W. McLaughlin of Kalamazoo will officiate at the funeral which takes place on Saturday at 2:30 p. m. Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph October 21, 1898 page 1
