BERDINE, Peter (1814 - 1880)
FRANKLIN COUNTY RECORDER - 12/22/1880

Died, At his residence near Otisville, on Friday, December 10th, Mr. Peter Berdine, of paralysis, at the age of 66 years. Mr. Berdine was born in Batavia, NY, in 1814, from which place he moved to Illinois 50 years ago, while there was yet no railroad west of Buffalo, NY. After a residence of nearly forty years in that state, he moved to Otisville and occupied the farm upon which he died. The deceased was a man of decided opinions and possessed of a clear cut individuality, always maintaining his positions with firmness and decided tenacity. He was scrupulously honest, a kind neighbor, and usually prompt in business matters. His clean, neat fields and abundant crops showed his large farm to be under the care of a careful and efficient husbandman. The body of the deceased was buried at the cemetery at this place on Monday last. The mourning relatives have the kindest sympathy in the irreparable loss of a kind husband and loving father.
