- In Milton, Wis., Oct. 8th, 1872, of
typhoid dysentery, Lucy Ann [HUNTINGTON]
- BABCOCK,
wife of Abel BABCOCK, in the 70th year of her age. The
deceased united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Scott,
N.Y., many years ago, with her companion; and though they moved
to the West nearly thirty years since, they did not remove their
church membership. Sister BABCOCK gave evidence in her
daily deportment of being a sincere Christian; and in the near
approach of death, expressed herself as feeling happy and resigned.
The deceased was the mother of twelve children, seven of whom
survive her. On account of partial blindness, she was but little
from home; and here or elsewhere she was uniformly kind, confiding,
affectionate and faithful. "Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord." L. C. R. [Vol. 28, No. 44, p. 175]
- In Brookfield, N.Y., Oct. 13th, 1872,
of congestion of the brain, Miss Carrie
- [Caroline] B. WHITFORD, aged
23 years. She was the daughter of Silas and Mary B. WHITFORD,
an earnest Christian, a consistant member of the 2d Seventh-day
Baptist Church of Brookfield. She felt that death would bring
her sweet release, said she was "going on a long and plesant
journey," and died in the Christian's peace and hope. Brief
services were held on the 15th inst., and at the grave, the choir
sung "The Angel's Call." Thus another of our loved
ones has passed over the river. J. M. T. [Vol. 28, No. 44,
p. 175]
