An Old Settler Gone

Hiram Babcock, one of our oldest settlers, died of dropsy of the chest, at his home two miles north of this city, on Tuesday afternoon, a few days over 70 years old. Mr. Babcock was an honest, upright citizen, "whose word was as good as his bond." He was a prominent member and officer of the Baptist church here, and was highly esteemed for his probity and strong, uncompromising Christian character. The funeral will take place at his late residence on Thursday.
