    At Potter Hill, R. I., Oct. 15, 1886, Mrs. Phebe Babcock, aged 84 years, 7 months and 10 days. She was the grand-daughter of Christopher and Mahettable (Chaucer) Babcock, and daughter of Stephen and Phebe (Birch) Babcock, and was born in Westerly, near Watch Hill, March 5, 1802. With her parents she moved to Stonington, Conn., when about four years of age. She was married to Oliver Babcock, son of Dea. Daniel and Content Babcock, Jan. 11, 1824. Shortly after their marriage, they came to reside at Potter Hill in the homestead where they both died, and in which she lived more than sixty-two years. There were born to them eleven children, seven of whom are still living. Sept. 9, 1869, Mr. Oliver Babcock died, rejoicing in hope of eternal life. Mrs. Babcock was baptized into the fellowship of the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, Nov. 25, 1841. A daughter and two sons were baptised and united with the church during the same revival, a season of great rejoicing in which many were gathered into Christ's fold, and the church, under the pastorate of Elder Daniel Coon was assisted by Elders Campbell and Green, who did the preaching. Mrs. Babcock had a noble Christian character, was dignified in bearing, noted for her industry and promptness, which, combined with her liberal and kindly heart, won the respect of friends and neighbors, and the devotion of many who received help from her hand or sympathy from her words. In the training of her children, she taught them not only promptness and industry, but faith in the right, and that it would prevail. Funeral services were held at the church, in which O. U. Whitford, H. Stillman, A. B. Burdick, and the pastor, took part. A. B. Burdick, a former pastor, who also spoke at her husband's funeral seventeen years ago, delivered the address from Prov. 81:28, "Her children arise up, and call her blessed."
