Chenango Telegraph, March 14, 1916
Guilford:  It brought sadness to many here when the news was received of the death at an early hour Sunday morning of Mrs. Adella Mead, widow of Wm. B .Mead, at her home in Oxford after an illness of but a few days with pneumonia.  In 1883 Mr. and Mrs. Mead came to Guilford to live having bought a farm about one and one-half miles from the village.  They drew many friends to them by their kindness and thoughtfulness for others and gave quite a little of their time in going to many homes in helping to care for sick ones. They were active workers and for many years members of the M.E church. The death of Mr. Mead occurred quite suddenly about ten years ago, leaving Mrs. Mead alone with her mother, Mrs. S. Padgett, whose home was with them. They had been called to part with their only two children in childhood.  After remaining on the farm for two years or more, she sold and with her mother went to Oxford to make their home, where again the home was broken by the death of her mother a few months ago.  The funeral was attended from her late home Wednesday at 1 p.m..  Three brothers, Ward, Peter and Homer Padgett, and one sister survive her.

Funeral services for the late Chas. H. Burdick were held from his home on Birdsall street [Norwich, NY] at 2:30 and from Emmanuel Episcopal church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. H.W. Foreman officiating.  The services at the church were very largely attended by friends and relatives in this and adjoining cities, there being representatives present from J.&F.B. Garret company of Syracuse with whom he was connected for 43 years as a traveling salesman.  Members of the Utica council of United Commercial travelers and prominent printers from that city were also in attendance as were delegations from the different organization to which he belonged.  Interment was made in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, NY], the committal service being in charge of Norwich commandery, Knights Templar.

Charles Harmon Burdick was born in Norwich January 1, 1848, the son of Joseph H. and Emmeline Burdick.  He was educated in Binghamton and lived in New York city, DeRuyter and Syracuse for a number of years before coming back to the city of his birth where he made his home for many years.  He was a thirty-third degree Mason and belonged to the Mystic Shrine, Norwich commandery and all the other divisions of that fraternity.  He was a prominent and influential member of the Utica U.C.T. and a charter member of the Norwich club.  Genial, courteous and considerate of the interests of others, with a happy disposition, he made friends everywhere through  central New York.  The soul of integrity and possessed of keen business judgment he was one of the most successful and respected traveling salesmen in the state.  On July 5, 1887, Mr. Burdick was elected a member of the vestry of Emmanuel church and served the church in that capacity until this winter when ill health compelled him to relinquish his high position which he held with honor to himself and the church.  The going on before of Charles H. Burdick is very keenly regretted by many friends and his bereaved wife and three sisters, Mrs. Louise Cook, Miss Mary E. Burdick and Miss Ella E. Burdick, of Syracuse have the sincere sympathy of the community in which he was always a good citizen and a kind friend.
