"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 112, No 8, p 255, Feb. 22, 1932.
Albert H. Langworthy was born in Westerly, R. I., November 15, 1851, and passed away at his home, 33 Elm Street, Westerly, December 11, 1931. He was the son of Nathan H. and Ann E. Carr Langworthy.
Mr. Langworthy acquired his education in the schools of Westerly and Providence. He was for many years a well-known business man in his home town and was actively identified with its local affairs. For more than eleven years he served his town as a member of the town council and later as representative and then as senator in the general assembly of the state. He always maintained a lively interest in public matters and was ready to give his wise counsel and aid in any good cause.
He was an interested member of the Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church, having been baptized and united with the church December 31, 1864, when he was thirteen years of age. The disease which caused his death brought him much suffering and made his getting about difficult and painful. His love for the services of the church was evidenced by his faithfulness in attendance to within a few weeks of his decease, even at the cost of great effort and pain. His fortitude and patience in suffering were marked. His genial, warm-hearted nature won him many friends. "Neighbor" Langworthy, as he was genially called, will be greatly missed.
October 5, 1874, Albert H. Langworthy and Georgiana Loveland, also of Westerly, were united in marriage. Mrs. Langworthy preceded him to the home beyond by more than a year.
Mr. Langworthy is survived by a daughter, Emma Langworthy Burdick, wife of Rev. Clayton A. Burdick, of Westerly, whose deep devotion to and tender care of her father have been beautiful to see. There is a grandson, Robert Duncan Langworthy, son of Nathan L. Langworthy, deceased. Two sisters also survive; Mrs. Adelina C. Lyon, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Mrs. Jane L. Spaulding, of Brookline, Mass.
Farewell services, attended by a host of friends from the home town and state, were held at the late home Monday afternoon. Judge Samuel H. Davis, a former pastor of Mr. Langworthy and Pastor Harold R. Crandall officiated. Mr. Langworthy was a great lover of music, and at his request Mr. Burleigh Sylvester, of Unity, Me., and Stanton Gavitt, of Westerly, sang three of the beautiful old hymns. Interment was in River Bend Cemetery.
