Word was received here Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. of the death of Mrs. Virgil KNAPP, daughter of Mrs. I. L. BABCOCK of this city, who recently removed to Danville, Ill., with her husband. Cause was not learned. The body was brought to Rochester today, and the funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at the Baptist church, Rev. G. C. CHANDLER officiating.
Miss Marie BABCOCK, daughter of Mr and Mrs. I. L. BABCOCK, was born Sept. 26, 1891, in this county. She attended public and high school here, and on Dec. 17, 1911, was married to Virgil KNAPP. To them one child was born, a son, who is now slightly over a year old. Mr. Knapp resigned his position at the Wile Clothing Store here in December and removed with his wife to Danville, Ill., the home of his father. Deceased leaves besides her mother and family, four brothers and sisters, Mrs. Harvey THORNTON, Alice [BABCOCK], Robert [BABCOCK] and Lawrence [BABCOCK].
The news of the death was most sudden and unexpected. Consequently it was a great shock to both family and friends.

Marie Jennette BABCOCK, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. L. L. BABCOCK, born at Rochester, Ind., Sept. 26, 1891, died at the St. Elizabeth hospital, Danville, Illinois, Feb. 16, 1914, aged 22 years, 4 months, 21 days, and December 17, 1911, at Rochester, she was married to Virgil KNAPP. In early life she was converted and united with the 1st Baptist church of Rochester and she remained a faithful member until her death, being regular in her attendance and work in the Sunday school and church. Last December, she with her husband and little son, moved to Danville, Ill. She was taken seriously ill there and breathed her last in the hospital. Those surviving her are: husband, Virgil KNAPP, and little son, Donald [KNAPP], her mother, three brothers and two sisters and a large number of relatives and friends. Her father, one brother and one sister preceded her to the other world. She was a member o the Evergreen Rebekah lodge and also of the Isabelle temple, Pythian Sisters. It seems scarcely credible that this young, vigorous life should have passed away from us so quickly. Only afew weeks ago I bade her good bye, as she with her husband and baby went to their new home near Danville, Ill. She looked so beautiful and appeared to be so vigorous. We had reason to expect that many years of service were before her. But that young, hopeful, vigorous capable life has finished it course and the new life of Heaven has opened up before her forever. I need not say that Marie was a general favorite. In her common schools, in her high school life, in her lodge relations and in her ralations as a church member, she was much beloved. As you know she had considerable ability as a reader and reciter and was in much demand for entertainments. But the sweet, thrilling voice is hushed, the gentle, personality is calm and still in death, she was awakened to a larger, fuller life in the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. She has departed to be with Christ, which is far better. May God comfort her bereaved husband and broken hearted mother and relatives and may He care for her motherless babe. - - - Rev. G. C. CHANDLER.
