Mary Kenyon Sunderland, daughter of Jedediah and Elizabeth Burdick Kenyon, was born in Rockville, town of Hopkinton, R. I., July 7, 1834, and passed from this life in Rockville, R. I., April 7, 1920, aged 85 years and 9 months.
She was the last of seven children, five of whom passed more than three score and ten years of age.
- On April 18, 1861, she was united in marriage to J. Weeden Burdick, who died serving his country in the Civil War, in Mississippi, in 1863.
- April 6, 1871, she was united in marriage to Dr. Robert K. Sunderland, of Wickford, R. I., who passed away November 14, 1892.
Since her marriage to Dr. Sunderland she has made her home in Wickford till the last few years she has kept the winter months with her brother and family in Rockville, R. I. For six months of her last days she was in the home of her brother's widow at Rockville, where she was tenderly cared for by her nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Kenyon, during her long and serious illness. She bore her sufferings with much patience trusting in her Savior till the end came.
In September, 1846, at the time of a great revival, she was baptized by Elder Alfred B. Burdick, and united with the Rockville, R. I., Seventh Day Baptist Church. Some seventy members were added to the membership of this church at that time. She continued faithful and loyal to the church during all the years of her Christian experience, nearly seventy-four years.
Her funeral services were conducted from the home of her brother's widow, Mrs. Phebe Kenyon, in Rockville, by Pastor D. Burdett Coon, of Ashaway, R. I.
