Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, October 14, 1869 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - On the 18th ult., Gracie A., wife of Ransom A. Burdick, of Albion, aged 41 years. Deceased was born August 2, 1828. At an early age she became a humble disciple of Christ and to the very close of life continued a steadfast Christian, a self-denying benefactor, a patient, cross bearing follower, and an entrust, faithful laborer in every good word and work. Her sweet music has thrilled with joy many hearts in the sacred circle and in the house of God, and cheered many sad hearts with the funeral requiem. She demonstrated the power of the grace of God in not only the perfect patience of her endurance, but her unshaken confidence of her hope in Christ. Almost her last breath was a pathetic, fervent prayer, this demonstrating the truth; Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watch word at the gate of death, He enters heaves with prayer. fhe largest number assembled on the 19th, being the Lord's Day, we have ever seen in the county on any suck occasion, and the personal relatives, who were numerous, were by no means the only mourners. Her excellent spirit endeared her to a very large circle of warm and devoted friends. She lived greatly beloved and died deeply lamented. At her grave the choir sang with tearful eyes and throbbing hearts the excellent piece, "She is gone, she is gone, Gone to the silent land." May the Great Comforter soothe and assuage the grief of the deeply afflicted husband, who thus mourns the loss of a true, confiding, forbearing, faithful, loving, Christian wife, is the fervent prayer of his sympathizing friend and brother. W. C. Johnson.
