At the home of her daughter, in Westerly, R. I., July 8, 1900, Mrs. Martha Babcock Noyes, aged 94 years, 3 months, and 27 days. Mrs. Noyes was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Westerly, having been been a resident of the town and widely known in the community for many years. She was an earnest Christian, a member of the Pawcatuck Seventh-day Baptist church, and throughout her long and useful life, was ever ready by word and work to bear testimony for Christ. Though her life was lengthened to an unusual age, she retained her faculties to a very large degree, was ever bright and cheerful, shedding the sunshine of a beautiful life on all around her. The funeral, conducted by her pastor at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Orson Rogers, was largely attended, especially by the more aged people of the church and community, who had long known and loved her.
