...
     On May 2, 1852, Mr. Burdett married Miss Nancy Rouse, who was born in December, 1832, in the County of Lambton, and was reared there. She was a good Christian woman, and shared faithfully the toils and privations of the earlier years of the itinerary, passing away at their home in the town of Essex in 1881, leaving four children: Adaline, wife of Dr. James Brien, of the town of Essex, was born in 1856, in Ontario; Reuben, born in March 1858, now a farmer in Manitoba, married Miss Louise Brown, of Manitoba, and they have five children, Louise, Annie, Olive, Albert and Dorithy; Rev. James Burdett, born in 1861, a minister of the Free Methodist Church in Michigan, married Miss Emma Vancuren, of Michigan, and has a daughter, Ethel; Frederick, born in the County of Essex in 1866 resides in the state of Washington; he married Miss Cora Johnston, and has one son, Harland. In November, 1882, Mr. Burdett married Mrs. Emily McTavish, the estimable daughter of Joseph and Bethany Cornwall, both natives of Canada. Mrs. McTavish was born at Clearville, County of Kent, in 1851 and in 1869 married Daniel McTavish, who was born Nov. 15, 1841, at Duart, Ont., of Scottish parentage. When a young man he learned the trade of carpenter and pursued it successfully during his active life. In 1869 he located near Hamilton, Missouri, where he carried on an extensive building and contracting business. While residing near that town he died, Oct. 30, 1873, leaving a wife and two children. The daughter, Rosa, received an excellent high school education in the County of Kent, Ont., and was given a first-class certificate from the Ridgetown Collegiate Institute; for six years she was a teacher in Alma Ladies' College of St. Thomas, for two years taught in the Ridgetown public school, and was subsequently a teacher in the school at Indian Head, in the N. W. T., being an accomplished young lady; on April 12, 1904, at Indian Head, she became the wife of Alexander Ross, barrister, of Regina, N. W. T. The son, Malcolm J., received his early education in the schools of the County of Kent, and graduated from the Detroit College of Medicine April 30, 1903.
     Mrs. Burdett is a leading temperance worker in Ridgetown, and is now president of the W.C.T.U. of that town, in which capacity she accomplishes a wonderful amount of good. Like her husband, she is kind-hearted and charitable and their Christian influence for good in the community can scarcely be overestimated.
