Notes:

A 1955 Hornell Tribune newspaper with Lloyd Burdett spoke about his 1936 city clerk job as he was on the cusp of becoming Hornell mayor. His journals talk about that time, Lloyd only served about a year as Mayor, mostly due to health issues he battled frequently towards the latter end of his life. He spent a chunk of that term in and out of the hospital, so much so it became a familiar place where he knew many people.

Lloyd and Sylvia lived at 45 Fulton St. in Hornell and he had a radio service repair there - there was one sign in front of their house and another identical one around the back; Lloyd would often get customers just knocking at his back door. He writes in his journals about starting radio service as a hobby and learning more from others (including his cousin Murray Burdett).

Lloyd was quite handy in his day, like many Burdett's. He seemed to have a knack for multiple crafts like carpentry, something he said his father, George, and grandfather, Paul were good at as well (in addition to Paul's interests in inventing).

Lloyd married Eloise V. Ross on 16 Jan 1913 in Hornell, Steuben County, New York.

From the Hornell Tribune: "David A. Boag, 48, of 1208 Gleason Circle, Pittsford, formerly of Hornell, died unexpectedly Monday (Dec. 31, 2001) at his home. Born in Hornell on June 6, 1953, he was the son of Milo and Gladys (Burdett) Boag. He was a graduate of Hornell High School (Class of 1971) and was a 1973 graduate of Alfred State College.

David's family request that memorial contributions in his name be made to Alternatives for Battered Women, PO Box 39601, Rochester, N.Y. 14604. Memorial forms will be available at the Dagon Funeral Home."


In April 2001 David e-mailed me(Andrew Burdett) and updated me on his and his grandparents family. He also sent a story he written about his childhood days at his grandparents farm(Fred and Bessie Burdett). Unfortunately, we were never able to get the entire story sent through e-mail so it ends in the middle of a sentence. The following is what I was able to receive:
"Memories flood my mind like water over a waterfall. Life growing up was a blessing. To have the people I had in my life then and now have in my life I am blessed. The farm a safe haven that I Can retreat to as often as I want in my mind. Life on a farm never easy but each day is worth getting up and greeting. Grandma with her pulled back gray hair held with a comb. Her smile that said everything will be all right. Her laugh at the funny things in life, but never at the misfortune of other people or at their expense. She always had an apron on because she was usually baking all those wonderful baked goods. Her fried cakes were the best Her cookies beyond compare. No one to this day could touch the bread she used to make. spending weekends on the farm when I was young was like a Norman Rockwell Painting come to life. The big wood stove in the dinning room where all activity took place where in the winter we would open the door to the oven and we wood put our wet clothes and boots on the open door to dry and if you wanted to warm your feet you stuck those inside the oven. The evenings spent with Grandma were the best, we would play dominos or checkers or her favorite bingo. She would make fudge and say if it does not harden we will have it over ice cream. Also in the spring we would have maple syrup made right there on the farm. I always felt warm and very protected on the farm. I think that Grandma loved other people and enjoyed having them around. Grandma had a singing voice like an angel. I loved to go to church or the grange hall and hear her sing the Old Rugged Cross. When Grandma sang the whole room lit up you could see smiles on every face in the room. She put her whole heart into a song.
Grandpa was I thought at the time a very hard man. Now I think he was a very proud man who had a hard time adjusting to getting old and not being able to carry on with all the tasks on the farm. I loved Grandpa but boy did he make n I Was on the Farm. Grandpa believed in long days of work. We would go up behind the barn to work in the fields he had up there on very hot days and he would bed ressed as if it was winter with long johns and a coat. We would take a long a quart jar of iced tea, which he would only let me have small sips every hour. He used to say if you drink any more you will get sick in the sun. I loved grandpa and looked forward to getting up early and working on projects with him, he had an earthy smell about him that was not offensive but defined him. It was a combination of sweat and all other smells you find on a farm. Grandpa loved his Horses and took very good care of them. He would tell me to go upstairs in the hayloft and open the little door above the stall and throw down some hay for the horses. I made a game out of it and would wait for the horse to put his head under the door and then drop the hay on his head. Not very nice was it Grandpa had a corner of the dinning room that was his. There was his favorite chair surrounded by stacks of magazines and almanacs. He had an old radio with one of the first headsets they ever made. He was hard of hearing so he would use the headset to hear the radio. He would sometimes sit for hours listening to the radio. Grandpa had no teeth I do not know when he lost them all or how. Grandma would chop all his food up as small as she could so he could gum it before he swallowed it. I always remember Grandpa wearing coveralls and longjohns and of course boots and a denim coat. I remember sleigh rides in the winter with Grandpa and when the sleigh got to old and rickety he took the hood off an old Chevy and fastened some boards across it for seats and hitched the horses to it and we went for a ride. I always thought that Grandpa could had been an inventor. He was very good at improvising when he needed to. Grandpa Had this huge old Sawmill saw the blade was probably Five feet high and it had a very long belt that ran it when the motor was running. I know that Grandma And Mom never wanted him to turn it on they were afraid that he would hurt himself. In those days safety precautions on equipment were unheard of. I saw him run the saw a couple of times and it was impressive. The noise the thing made was ear shattering. I loved the smell of fresh cut timber as it came off the table. I also loved the sawdust it created. Nothing went to waste on the farm. Sawdust was used to pickup oily things when spilled on the floor and to soak up spills of eggs on the floor.
Another interesting thing about the farm was the outhouse. The outdoors bathroom. Grandpa and Grandma had a two holer. An Outhouse is basically a small wooden building built over a hole in the ground. These buildings had a unique smee own. Also as I said before nothing on a farm gets wasted. We did no tvery often use real toilet paper. We used old Sears's catalogues and newspapers and in the very olden days they would use cornhusks that had been dried. The Outhouse was not a place you stayed very long especially in the summer. I would sit in there watching the bees flying around the top of the building and hope that I could get done and out of there before I would get stung. The thing that always amazed me about my Grandpas outhouse it sat on a mound right next to his vegetable garden, not a thought I want to spend a lot of time contemplating.
I remember that at least once a summer my sister Milene and my cousin Mike Burdett and I would sleep out under the stars, Grandma would promise to make us some of her baked goods if we could stay out there all night. She would have maods for us anyway, but we always took the dare. Grandpa would bring us a Horsehide Blanket to sleep under. Yes this was a blanket made from Horses hides and still had all the hair on it and weighed a ton. It was the warmest thing you could sleep under. One summer Grandpa was having a problem with Raccoons getting in his garden. He decided to put a radio out there and let it play all night. He Would set the station to music he enjoyed. After Grandpa had gone to sleep Milene, Mike and I snuck into the garden and changed the station to WKBW, which was a Rock & Roll station out of Buffalo.
I learned many things on the farm. I probably got my reluctance to like cats there. The Farm was overrun with wild cats or farm cats as they were called. If you think most cats have an independent streak, you should try to pet a cat tn the wild and does anything it wants anytime it wants anywhere it wants. Grandma Had a trough outside the house where she would put all kinds of scraps in to feed the cats. Again like I said nothing goes to waste on a farm. We never really knew how many cats actually lived on the farm, but I

Notes:

Michael is a graduate of Hornell High School, Hornell, NY, Class of 1966. He worked with his father, Dorr, in a small family run garage in Hornell, NY for many years. He currently is employed at New York State Electric and Gas, Inc., in the UC&M department. He has been there 20 years. Michael built many race cars while working with his dad, running at many New York State dirt racetracks. He has been involved with NASCAR auto racing, as a part-time official, working 10-12 race a year with Timing and Scoring until his retirement in 2004.

Concord, NC/Arkport- - The family of Michael D. Burdett wish to announce the passing of their beloved husband and father on Thursday (Feb. 3, 2022) in their North Carolina home after a 10-month battle against glioblastoma.
Born October 21,1948 to Dorr and Shirley (Glover) Burdett, Michael enjoyed many years of his youth at the Burdett family farm on Big Creek. During this time, he learned from his father and his friends how to repair and build automobiles and went on to work with Dorr in the family business, Burwood Auto Service, outside of Hornell.
It was in this garage with his friends and father that Mike began building race cars to run at Woodhull Raceway and other tracks in New York and Pennsylvania. To know Mike was to spend time with him in his garage or at a racetrack or guessing what type of vehicle he'd be driving from one day to the next. His passion for racing never died, and neither did his meticulous care of his own vehicles and tools.
Michael was a graduate of Hornell High School, class of 1966. On July 12, 1969, in the former Park Church in Hornell, he married Linda Wellington, his high school sweetheart, and they enjoyed 52 years together. Mike became a jack-of-all-trades because Linda always had a project. He hated carpentry, but he was quite good at it. They lived in the Bishopville/Arkport area before shocking everyone and moving to North Carolina in 2014. The pull of children and grandchildren is a powerful thing.
Mike had great pride in his son Jason's NASCAR career and daughter Jamie's success in higher education. His grandson Ethan, following the paths of the Burdett men before him, gave Mike the chance to get back in the racing game. He spent many hours working on E's Quarter Midgets and Outlaw carts and loved watching Ethan's success, including his first trip to the Tulsa Shootout in Oklahoma this December. Mike never missed a chance to support his girls Emmalynn, Emmerson and Josie at gymnastics and dance competitions, piano recitals, basketball and t-ball games - going so far as to turn the race car hauler into a dressing room at one dance recital!
Mike is predeceased by his parents, Dorr and Shirley Burdett; along with many aunts and uncles. He is survived by his wife, Linda; son, Jason (Rachael) Burdett and daughter, Jamie (Silas) Stamey; grandchildren, Ethan and Emmerson Burdett and Emmalynn and Josie Stamey; his sister, Michelle Burdett; special aunt, Nancy Glover, and many close friends and relatives.
Michael retired from NYSEG/UC&M department in Hornell.
Calling hours are 4-6 p.m. Tuesday (Feb. 15, 2022) at the Bishop-Johnson & DeSanto Funeral Home, 285 Main St., Hornell, where a brief funeral service will take place in his memory following the calling hours at 6 p.m. A "Celebration of Life" and a time of remembrance will immediately follow (beginning at 6:30 p.m.) at The Main Place, 251 Main St., Hornell.
In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to donate to the Glioblastoma Foundation, P.O. Box 62066, Durham, NC 27715 (envelopes will be available at the funeral home) or www.gioblastomafoundation.org.
The Bishop-Johnson & DeSanto Funeral Home is honored to assist Michael's family with e arrangements.
