Mrs. Stillman Bassett
Mrs. Jane O. Burdick, wife of Stillman Bassett and daughter of David
and Olive Tanner Burdick, was born April 9, 1838, and died at her home near
Leonardsville, July 17, 1903, making her 65 years, 3 months and 8 days of age.
She was married to Stillman Bassett December 29, 1857. She was baptized by
Rev. Stephen Burdick May 22, 1875, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist
church at Leonardsville, of which she remained a beloved member until death.
Her health has not been good for the past eighteen years, and she was taken
worse about two years ago. During the last of her sickness she was a great
sufferer. It has often been noted “how patient,” “how thoughtful,” “ how
helpful to those about her” she was as long as she was able. One said to her:
“It is terrible for you to suffer so.” “The Lord knows best what is good for
me,” she replied. She leaves a husband and three sisters to mourn their great
bereavement. Her pastor spoke from Ps. 23: 4 at the funeral. Interment was
made at West Edmeston.
