At an early age she moved with her parents to the old MITCHELL home, near Pleasant Ridge, and there she received her education and grew to womanhood. On October 2, 1871, she was united in marriage to George W. BABBITT of Pleasant Ridge. They resided in this community for nearly 48 years and on March 8, 1920, Mr. BABBITT passed away.

Thus another of the fast thinning ranks of our elder members has answered the summons. She will be greatly missed by her remaining family, and the large circle of relatives and dear friends.
