Egbert Burdick, M. D., of Oxford, died last Thursday morning, at five o’clock, aged 74 years. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church Sunday, conducted by Revs. Snyder and Keyes. The Oxford and Pontiac Masons attended in a body, headed by the Pontiac Cornet Band, and with the usual masonic ceremonies the remains were interred in the Oxford cemetery.

Dr. Burdick was a graduate of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and was the leading physician of Oxford for nearly 57 years. He was a skillful surgeon, and a scientific man, always keeping up with the times in the practice of his profession. He was always a hard worker, and a few years ago his services were required all over Oakland and adjoining counties. Dr. Burdick was a charter member of Oxford Lodge No. 84, F. and A. M., having previously “rode the goat ” at the Stoney Creek temple on the hill. The doctor leaves a wife and one daughter.

Through the kindness of George W Debevoise, superintendent of the P. O. & P. A., a special train was run over the new road, leaving Pontiac at ten and returning at six o’clock. The Oxford Masons gave their visiting brothers a warm'reception, and a firstclass dinner at the Stanton House, while the members of the band were equally well looked after by Messrs. Tunatead, Wilkinson, and others.

Upon the return trip the members of Pontiac Lodge No, 21, F. and A. M. unanimously tendered a resolution of thanks to Superintendent Debevoise for the free use of the special train.
