From Westerly Sun:
Deacon Benjamin P. Langworthy, one of the best known citizens of Hopkinton, died at his home in Tomaquag Valley this morning, Tuesday, August 18, aged 76 years and 26 days. He was the only son of Thomas and Waity (Peckham) Langworthy, and was born in Hopkinton. His father died in the town of Westerly when Benjamin was a little over three years old, and then his mother moved back to the old home, where he has resided ever since.
On the tenth day of April, 1860, he married Sarah F. Clarke, daughter of Alfred Clarke of North Stonington, who, cripples a few years ago from a broken ankle, survives him to mourn the loss of a true and faithful husband. To them were born a son, Thomas Alfred, long since deceased, and a daughter, Mary Altana, now the wife of John A. Slocum.
After some months of sickness Mr. Langworthy has passed away, having beside his immediate family many relatives and friends to mourn the departure of a good neighbor and friend. 'Today a good man is fallen in Israel'
