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).

Eulogy for Beatrice K. Smith August 8, 2000
Rev. Richard R. Hubbard

Dear family and friends, we gather here this afternoon to celebrate the life of Beatrice Smith. We give thanks to God that hers was a long and rich life, busy and active until the end. She and her husband, Herman, can rest easy that they leave a living legacy of their three daughters, Dorothy, Marian and Nancy, and their husbands and eleven,
grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren'. From a biblical perspective, they were truly blessed.
I am thankful that when I first met Bea, she was very much alive. Indeed, her vigor and wit seemed to belie her age. I had been warned that Bea could be a "woman of strong opinions". One would need to be to make it to 96, still full of vigor and vitality. My impression, at the end was that the time had come. She had lived her life as fully as possible, for as long as possible. Neither age nor immobility dampened her interest in life and those around her. Her vitality alone should inspire us when we start to feel older and tiered...
I asked the family for some help in telling the story of her life. She grew up on the family farm in Hornell. One can only guess at the changes she saw around her over the course of her lifetime, from horse and buggy to automobiles, from wood stoves to electric range, yet with others of her generation she took it in stride. With five brothers and two sisters, she never lacked for company, though privacy was probably hard to come by.
She married Herman Smith, a mold maker at Ingersoll Rand, in 1922. They had four children, Dorothy, Marian, Nancy and Clair. Clair, the only son, died in the early 1970's. We pray that he is now gathered with his mother and father in that heavenly mansion.
I was told that Bea was quite a baker, who as a homemaker, augmented the family income by baking bread and rolls every Friday, and never had any left over. She also took in washings to help, and being a farm girl and one of eight children, was no stranger to hard work. After her children were grown, she worked at the Corning Hospital laundry, retiring in 1968. And through the years in Painted Post, she was an active and dedicated member of the Methodist Church. Rev. Jack Bunde, the Chaplain at Coming Hospital, said Bea always faithfully attended his services, and loved to sing hymns (which proves she was a real Methodist at heart).
It was hard for her to leave her home. Is it ever easy for anyone? To leave behind a lifetime of memories, the scene of so many of the chapters of one's life. But change is always a part of our lives. We are all sojourners on a journey of life and time.
She moved to Green Meadows, where she enjoyed playing cards, hopefully not on Sundays. (Smile. I'm joking.) She enjoyed visiting with the friends and especially appreciated that her granddaughter, Janice Montgomery, worked there and woke her up each morning.
After breaking her ankle and time at Arnot Ogden and Coming Hospitals she moved to Founders Pavilion, where she needed rehabilitation. She made progress, but now needed a wheelchair. Some people might have given up, or withdrawn, but not Bea. She kept as busy as ever and enjoyed playing checkers and games with Randy Dann. I am told that on a trip to Niagara Falls, he introduced her to a group of men as Miss America 1918. From what I hear she gave as good as she got. She was alert, very much alive.
She enjoyed visiting with family and friends. She kept busy knitting, crocheting and, of course, playing cards and checkers. Reportedly she hated to lose, but that's true of most of us. We'd rather win than lose, at the games we play. I think it would be fair to say Bea loved the playing as much as the winning, the fun, the friendship and fellowship that games can provide.
We all have our favorite foods and hers was maple walnut ice cream. It would be nice if the next time you have maple walnut ice cream you think of Bea, a reminder, a remembrance of a life rich in the things that truly matter; family, friends and faith.
Time for family remembrance
It is hard to say good-bye to those we love, to let them go, to leave them in God's hands. But surely Bea's life was rich and blessed, full to the very end. So, this afternoon I ask that you remember the life and love you shared, your times together, your shared joy and laughter as well as hurts and sorrow. None of us are perfect. We do the best we can, and some things we may do better than others. Now is the time to remember the best of Bea's life: her love of life, her love of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, her friends at Founders, Green Meadows, Corning Hospital, Painted Pos, her faith that gave her hope, strength and the courage to carry on faith and as active on our lives as she was in hers.
Let us pray. Almighty God, we give you thanks for the life of Beatrice Smith, for the life and love she shared with her family and friends, for her force of will and vitality of life, for long years and rich memories. Amen.

Beatrice married Herman Winfield Smith on 15 Jul 1922 in Steuben County, New York. Herman (son of James T. Smith and Elizabeth Minerva Dieter) was born on 27 Dec 1898 in Grove, Allegany County, New York; died in Feb 1968 in Wyoming County, New York; was buried in Union Cemetery, Nunda, Livingston County, New York.

Notes:

Abby lived the greater portion of her life in Churchville,NY. She came to this area the bride of Harold Way with whom she raised five daughters during their 33 years together. During that portion of her life she was not only a wife and mother, but a worker in the fields and preparer of meals for the entire farm crew. When Abby left the farm she became a village resident, a Churchville-Chili School Bus driver and part of the Riga Free Library staff. She loved to play baseball and horseshoes; but just as much as she enjoyed the world of music-playing the violin in The Trio, or 'fiddling' for square dances. She was an avid Contract Bridge player, a worker of crosswords puzzles and a woman who never tired of reading, weather it was poetry for her own enjoyment or reading to children to broaden their outlooks. Through all her life, Abby's faith remained strong. It was in her church that she found the strength she needed to deal with what came her way.

Abby married Harold William Way on 19 Feb 1929 in Hornell, Steuben County, New York. Harold (son of Harvey R. Way and Ethel Aslett) was born on 5 May 1908 in Churchville, Monroe County, New York; died on 2 Feb 1993 in Spencerport, Monroe County, New York; was buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Ogden, Monroe County, New York.

HORNELL-Herman M. Davis, 84, of 166 Leach Ave., passed away Saturday evening (Dec. 19, 2009) at Hornell Gardens surrounded by the family he loved so much. Herm took God's hand and peacefully walked away. His family has lost our beloved "Grandpa Herm."

He was born on June 1, 1925 in the town of Howard to Lewis and Mildred Burdett Davis.

Herm lived his entire life in the Hornell area and attended the one room schoolhouse his mother taught in and graduated from Hornell High School in 1942. After graduating from high school, Herm continued working on the family farm on the Big Creek Road in the town of Howard with his father. For many years he also ran a milk route.

On Nov. 14, 1964 Herm married the former Erla McGregor and together they raised five children.

In 1968 he began his employment at the Foster-Wheeler Corp. in Dansville, retiring in 1987 with 19 years of service. After retiring he was employed as guard at the former M-K Corporation in Hornell and later worked as the "handyman" at the former Maple Crest Manor in Hornell where the staff and residents lovingly called him "Mr. D."

Although he had stopped farming many years ago, you could never truly take the farmer out of him. After moving from the farm, for many years he continued to plant a garden there and always enjoyed helping his son, Earl, once he began running the farm again. Herm's love of farming was exceeded only by the love he had for his family.

For many years he was a member of the Big Creek Grange and the Howard Masonic Lodge. He was also a youth fellowship leader at the Big Creek Church and sang in a quartet with his father, his brother, Charles and his uncle, Elmer Burdett.

Herm's soft-spoken nature and gentle spirit made him a friend to all who knew him. He was a treasure to his family and a gift to anyone that knew him. He will be truly missed.

Besides his wife of 45 years, his family includes his five children, Earl (Chris) MacNaughton, Kay (Nathan) Cornell, Carl (Denise) MacNaughton, Laurie (Mike) Whiteman all of Hornell and Jeff (Jessica) Davis of Bath; his 12 grandchildren, Claire (Kevin) White, Shawn and Shad MacNaughton, Andrea (Chris) Muhleisen, Michael Cornell, Matthew and Mitchell MacNaughton, Josh and Madison Whiteman and Eli, Jonas and Catherine Davis; his four great-grandchildren, Arden and Adrianna White and Jaxson and Kenny Muhleisen; his brother, Charles (Laura) Davis of Etna, NY; his sister, Dorothy Smith of Hornell; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by his parents.

At Herm's request there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 23) at the Arkport Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Steven Jewell officiating. Private committal services and interment will be held at the convenience of his family at Rural Cemetery, Hornell.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations in Herm's name be made to either the Hornell Area Humane Society, PO Box 533, Hornell, NY 14843 or to the Arkport Presbyterian Church, PO Box 6, 15 Main St., Arkport, NY 14807.

Our family would like to thank Vicki Burns and the wonderful staff at the Hornell Gardens who so compassionately and lovingly cared for Herm in his final days.

-Artist Statement

The things that I find interesting about painting or what my paintings are about, is not something that I often think about. I just make them. When asked to think about it, I would say they are made of something that did not exist exactly like that before. They are perhaps a rearrangement of the 'ordinary' and 'usual' into another form of reality. A realm where I am willing to release, a spontaneous and intuitive picture of my feelings. If you will, an outward manifestation of those feelings. Probably most people do that when they are dreaming or describing something with great feeling.

My Paintings have evolved over time and now reflect my reactions to nature, pushed beyond, or in a different direction from a purely representational world. I am drawn to paint the forces and material things of nature which I have come to know and respect after many years of direct experience. This knowledge of nature, however seems not to be overtly, conscious when I am doing a painting. In an abstract and metaphorical way, it is more a sense of being a reservoir of energy which enables me to paint what I paint. It is seemingly a motivating force, which like all of nature, is full of image possibilities and offers, in addition, the chance appearances of key elements that go into making an interesting painting, if I am ready at that moment to recognize them and retain them.

I like to paint spontaneously, because it carries the freshness of chance and a deep, sincerity of expression. Plus, I never know for certain where it will lead and that offers real excitement and an element of surprise for me, as well. I work in a flurry of activity followed by periods of sitting and looking at what has just transpired, in contemplation of the next move. There are waves of opportunity, in which to make choices, and perhaps the most difficult moment in painting for me, comes when it's time to say, it is finished and to walk away from it. It takes a lot of doing painting, to know and to recognize, with a feeling of confidence, what that place should look like. I work on that problem regularly. It is the essence of painting.

My work is not intended to be at all linear, in the sense that this statement is a juxtaposition of various symbols. Symbols do appear in my work but they are by chance meeting of lines and images or only because they offer strong visual presence in a particular spot for no particular reason, except for having chosen it. In terms of my painting direction, I continue to work with the hope and goal of reaching my own peculiar level of simplification.

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.
