  Notes	Past and Present of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, 1909 DANIEL BURDITT. Among those who gained worthy prestige in the agricultural and business circles of Tippecanoe county and who proved loyal and representative citizens was Daniel Burditt, who, after becoming well established and laying by a competency for his family, passed on to his- reward in the silent land.
