Swift tragedy struck in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] at 4:40 p.m. Monday, and a deep grief shattered the peaceful happiness of the Monday after New Year afternoon, as the news flashed through the village that Edson C. Burdick long time beloved resident, had been mercilessly struck down by the grim hand of fate. Mr. Burdick, it is conjectured, had left his factory in Sidney to drive home, just before the accident occurred. He drove head-on into the engine of a D. and H. train at the Willow street crossing, evidently not having seen the train, according to eye witnesses. Killed instantly, Mr. Burdick's body was thrown one hundred yards southwest of the crossing, by the impact and when picked up was found to be badly mangled. Some investigators of the accident state that the train was blowing its whistle as it reached the crossing. The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. at the Presbyterian church, with Colwell Brothers taking charge of arrangement. [d. 1939]
