Esther Kenyon, daughter of Potter and Patty Armsbury Kenyon, was born in Petersburg, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., Jan. 26, 1809, and died in Albion, Wis., Feb. 21, 1896.
Sister Kenyon was baptized by Eld. John Green, when about 22 years of age. She united with the Petersburg church. In early life she was possessed of a bright, cheerful disposition, and was noted for her industry. She came to Albion probably during the year 1849. During the years of her stay here, none were more helpful to those in need than was "Aunt Esther," as she was familiarly called. The last years of her life were somewhat clouded because of the failing of her mind.
She united with the Albion church Oct. 9, 1850, of which she remained a faithful member till death. Burial services were held at the home of Dea. Geo. W. Babcock, Feb. 23, 1896, with whom she had lived the past two years. Text, Job 5: 26. E. A. W.
