Mrs. Abbie Van Horn, daughter of the late Simeon Hoffman and Elizabeth McCormick Babcock, was born in Albion, Wis., Apr. 8, 1878, and died at the Westerly Nursing Home, Westerly R. I., Dec. 22, 1968.
She was married to Herbert C. Van Horn Sept. 3, 1903. To this union were born four children, three of whom survive her: Mrs. Stella Gauch of Dunellen, N. J.; L. Milton of Milton, Wis.; and Elston H. of Westerly, R. I. She is also survived by six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Her life was spent in service as a minister's wife. Her service to the church and the denomination was freely given as she responded to the call to serve in many areas.
