wife of Albert R. Babcock

Flora Coon Babcock, wife of Albert R. Babcock, was born at Adams Center, N. Y., March 5, 1850, and died at her home in the same village February 7, 1922, being nearly seventy-two years of age.

She was the second child of John G. and Dorcas Vars Coon, and had lived in Adams Center nearly all her life.

She has been an invalid for the past seven years, following a paralytic stroke which occurred on September 18, 1914. During these years of helplessness, she has been tenderly cared for by her husband. It is a source of deepest gratitude for Mr. Babcock to remember that there was not a single day during her illness that he was unable, from sickness or other cause to minister to her wants.

Mrs. Babcock accepted Christ as her Savior and united with the Adams Center Seventh Day Baptist Church on May 3, 1862, at the age of twelve years. She was a true Christian and a faithful and earnest worker in the church for many years. It was following a day of loving service at the church that she suffered the stroke which made her an invalid.

Surviving, besides the husband, are two brothers, A D. Coon, of Adams Center, and Ernest B. Coon, of Lauder, Wyo.

The funeral was held from her late home on Thursday, February 9, her pastor speaking words of comfort suggested by the text, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Interment was made in Union Cemetery. L. F. H.
