Charles Davis Langworthy, son of Dea. John and Sarah Pendleton Langworthy, was born in North Stonington, Conn., Feb. 25th, 1804, and died in Alfred, N. Y., June 9th, 1876. When only nine years old he met with a change of heart, but being thought too young to go forward in baptism he was discouraged from making a profession of religion, and consequently backslid. At the age of seventeen, he publicly professed Christ, and united with the 1st Hopkinton church. When twenty-one, he came to Alfred and united with the 1st Alfred church the following year. At the age of twenty-five he was married to Susan Saunders, of Petersburgh, N. Y.
On the 7th day of August, 1836, he was chosen deacon by the 1st church of Alfred, and ordained at the General Conference, which was held in Alfred in September of that year. In 1845, he changed his membership to the 2d church of Alfred, and was recognized as one of its deacons. For more than thirty years he served the church faithfully in looking after the poor, comforting those in trials, visiting the widows and fatherless, and caring for the sick, kindly admonishing the wayward, speaking words of cheer to those cast down, and faithfully and joyfully meeting all the appointments of the church, for the sanctuary was his delight.
For forty-five years he has been afflicted with heart difficulty, which has gradually increased in intensity till it culminated in death. During this nearly half century of suffering, he patiently performed his duty to his family and the church, and exhibited on all occasions the spirit of Christian resignation. The Word of God was his constant study. His trust was in God, and the promises of Christ were very precious to him; and in his sickness he laid hold on them as his only hope. His death truly was a triumphant one, showing the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. His funeral, on the Sabbath afternoon, called out one of the largest congregations ever held in the 2d Alfred church. He has left a wife and four children, six brothers, five of whom were present, and a large circle of friends.
