At Brookfield, N. Y., Jan. 31, 1907, Miss Lois Babcock, daughter of Hezekiah and Nancy Babcock, aged 82 years, 6 months and ten days.
She was the tenth child of a family of twelve children, only one younger brother now living. Sister Babcock was born at the old home of the Babcock family, four miles north of the village of Brookfield, and lived there until about thirty years ago, when she moved into the home in Brookfield, where she spent the rest of her life, cared for the last four years, by Deacon and Mrs. J. Laverne Clarke; the latter being the daughter of Leander Babcock, a brother of Lois.
Our sister was much attached to our Seventh-day Baptist Missionary and Tract Societies and the Second Brookfield Seventh-day Baptist Church, of which she was a member. She was probably in her youth when she joined this church, and her name stood at the head of the list of members now living. She was a very industrious pains-taking woman, with many friends in the church and community.
The funeral services were held at her late home and were conducted by the undersigned, while appropriate music was furnished by members of the choir. I. L. C.
