In Brookfield, N. Y., May 24, 1891, Mrs. Caroline L. Babcock, in the 90th year of her age.
She had been failing in health for a few weeks, still the end came quite suddenly and unexpectedly. On the day of her death she was about the house, though not feeling as well as usual, and in the afternoon she lay down on the couch, when the lamp of life suddenly went out. The deceased was born in Stonington, Conn., and came to Brookfield nearly sixty years ago. She was the wife of the late Jonathan Babcock. She was very amiable and cheerful in her life, a noble Christian woman, lived in peace with both her Maker and her neighbors, was a good and worthy member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church, and we believe has heard the Master's approving welcome up to the higher joys above. The writer being in Brookfield, at the time of her death, conducted the funeral services.
