In Orleans, Harlan Co., Neb., Nov. 29, 1881, of consumption, Eunice S. Babcock Woolworth, aged 60 years and 4 months. Sister W., with her husband and several of her children, were among the early settlers of the Republican Valley. She was one of the constituent members of the Orleans Seventh-day Baptist Church. To her, the prosperity of the church was ever dear. She had been in delicate health for many years, and for several months unable to be out from home. During the latter weeks of her life, the burden of her prayer seemed to be that she might have patience to abide the time of her summons. Such was her desire to "go away" and be at rest, that nothing seemed to give her such joy as the assurance, by her friends, that the end was drawing nigh. When I told her, a few days before her death, that Brethren Main and Wheeler were soon to be with us, she said, "However much I would like to see them, I do not wish to wait for the pleasure, but to go and see One of more consequence than they." She had a decided literary taste, quick to recognize truth or to detect sophistry. The readers of the Recorder will remember many a little poetical gem in its columns, for a number of years, over the signature of "Eunice," and one especially, "The Last Leaf," referring to her father's family. "The last leaf is fallen." H. E. B.

Leonard Woolworth was born in Turin, Lewis Co., N. Y., April 20, 1816, and died in Orleans, Neb., Aug. 3, 1891.
He was taken with bilious fever which terminated in a general breaking down of the whole system, having been sick only one week. He was married in Scott, N. Y., to Eunice S. Babcock, in 1840, and resided in New York State until 1845, when they moved to Milton, Wis., where he lived until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he enlisted in the 13th regiment, and was discharged for disability and returned to Milton. In 1870 he changed his residence to Nebraska, where he has since lived. He united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Alfred, N. Y., and on removing to Milton, Wis., changed his membership to that church. In 1875 a church was organized in Orleans, Neb., of which he became a member and remained a worthy member as long as it existed. J. F. M.
