• [31] Map showing probably Putnam Burdick farm location, based on South Manitou Island, From Pioneer Community to National Park, Myron H. Vent, pg 34, where the author asserts that the original Burdick farm "was adjacent to that of the (George Johann) Hutzlers." Putnam Burdick never actually owned any land until some ten years after having arrived on South Manitou Island, but most islanders began as "squatters" on preempted land, which they later acquired through homestead claims or outright purchase. The only land Putnam Burton eventually owned that was adjacent to the Hutzler farm as the 80-acres in S½NE-34/T31N,R15W (see map in [32].) That parcel was one of his last acquisitions, and was paid for in cash, rather than military bounty land warrants, as were all his other holdings. (Under preemption rules, there was no need to purchase such land until someone else made an offer to buy it.)

• [37] A notation in bible owned by Mrs. J. France, Michigan Center, Mich. merely states "Anna drowned in Lake Michigan." The Burdick's eldest child appears in the September 9, 1850 Census for Erin, Michigan as 8-year old "Alvira," born in Michigan, and in the 1860 Census for South Manitou Island as "Ann E." This census data corresponds with a birth date between August 1, 1841 and September 9, 1842, the me-dian being Feb 19, 1842. The name is assumed to have been "Anna Elvira Burdick."

• [63] According to Charles M. Anderson, author of Isle of View, A History of South Manitou Island, (pg 39,) there was always some question about who is actually buried in Andrew T. Burdick's grave. The U.S. Army supposedly returned two caskets aboard the train to Traverse City, one being somewhat shorter than the other. The other soldier was the son of Dr. & Mrs. Murphy, of Maple City, who was the taller of the two young men, however the casket they received was the shorter one, leading them to believe there had been a mix-up. On informing Captain Anderson of their fear that their son having been mistakenly buried on South Manitou, he suggested that they quietly honor the grave of the soldier they had buried, and the islanders would do the same. Perhaps this is just another of the island's many "ghost stories."
