Burdick.  She was born in East Norwich 27 years ago and after a course of study in the Norwich High School attended the Albany Business College, graduating about eight years ago.  She accepted employment as a stenographer in Amsterdam, N.Y. afterwards to find similar employment in the office of Attorney William H.

She had many warm friends who admired her excellent qualities and by whom she will be greatly missed.  She is survived by her parents and by four brothers and one sister, Calvin G.
