In Alfred, Allegany Co., N. Y., May 14, 1884, of cancerous affections of the
stomach, after a painful illness of over two years, Mrs. Avilda Babcock, wife of
Robert D. Hemphill. Sister Hemphill was born in Alfred, Nov. 10, 1821, and
embraced religion when about twelve years of age, and, it is believed, was
baptized by Eld. Richard Hull. She has long maintained a Christian standing in
the church in whose fellowship she died, honored and beloved by all. In her
long and painful sickness she was supported and cheered by her faith and her
hope in Christ, which she maintained to the end. She leaves ten children and an
affectionate husband to mourn her death. Her funeral on the 15th, was largely
attended at the Second Alfred Church, and the services, conducted by her pastor,
assisted by Bro. Byron Fisk, of Hartsville, were founded upon Rev. 7: 9, 10.
