At his home in Lamphear Valley, near Andover, N. Y., Dea. Daniel Lee Langworthy, aged 66 years and 1 month.
Deacon Langworthy was born and had always lived on the homestead where he died. He matriculated in Alfred University in the years 1873-74, and pursued his studies therein for some time.
November 8, 1876, he was united in holy wedlock with Miss Agnes E. Burdick. To them were born six children, - Lavern D., of Westerly, R, I., Frank A., of Plainfield, N. J., Egbert R., of Newport, R. I., Mrs. Harry Dawson, of Newport, R. I., Edson C., of Andover, and Lynn L., who resided with his father on the old homestead. Besides the wife and children he is survived by one brother, Edwin Langworthy, of Buffalo, and one sister, Miss Martha B. Langworthy, of Newport, R. I.
When nineteen years of age he was baptized and united with the Second Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred. When the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Andover was organized the following fall, he became a constituent member of that church, and has since been one of its chief supporters. In 1886, he was ordained deacon by the church, an office he held till his death. For more than twenty years he was superintendent of its Sabbath school.
At the time of his death he was president of the Allegany Mutual Telephone Company and a director in the Burrows National Bank of Andover. Others often sought him to transact business for them and all such trusts he held sacred and all duties connected therewith he faithfully performed. He was a quiet man, given to few words, never putting himself ahead or desiring to be put forward, humble in all things, living on a plane far above the world in which he lived and of which he was a part, dealing out bountifully to his fellows of both time and money, but not letting his left hand know what his right hand did.
The high esteem in which he was held was attested by the large concourse of people from Independence, Andover, Alfred and other communities who attended his farewell service.
Funeral services, conducted by pastor William L. Burdick, assisted by Pastor Ira S. Goff, were held in the church at Alfred Station, the afternoon of the 27th inst., and interment took place in Alfred Rural Cemetery.
