"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 66, No 8, p 476, Apr. 12, 1909.

Martha Mariah Langworthy was born on March 31, 1830, and died at Gentry, Ark., March 18, 1909.

She was married to Joseph Newell on March 13, 1849. To them were born three children, all of whom are deceased. Mr. Newell died in 1857. She was afterwards married to Henry Burdick Babcock on August 26, 1868. He died at Berlin, Wis., on April 18, 1891.

In 1901 she came to Gentry, Ark., where she has lived with her son-in-law, E. C. Eaglesfield and family. She lived to a good old age. In a little over a year she would have been an octogenarian.

She and her husband were members of the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Berlin, Wis. She was disposed to help those who stood in need of assistance. She had an uncomplaining disposition and was satisfied with whatever she had. Her Bible was her constant companion, and she took great delight in its study.

Mr. Eaglesfield has manifested uncommon attention and kindness in the care of his mother-in-law. The funeral was held at his house and the sermon was preached by the writer.
