In adulthood, Burpee founded a livery and blacksmith business with his younger brother Samuel. By 1830, their business had evolved to include undertaking and funeral services.

On 27 December 1838 he married Mary Jane Patridge, with whom he had five children.

A house painter from Rockland, Maine, Burpee served two single-year terms in the Maine House of Representatives (1854-1855) and four single-year terms in the Maine Senate (1858-1859; 1866-1867).[1] During his final term, he was chosen to be President of the Maine Senate.[2][3]
