In Alfred, N. Y., Feb. 23d, 1880, of cancer, Mrs. Martha J. Benjamin, daughter of the late Dea. Charles L. Langworthy, and widow of the late Harvey Benjamin. She bore her long and painful sickness with sweet resignation to the will of the dear heavenly Father, and welcomed death as a kind of release. For years she had been one of the strong pillars of the Second Alfred Church. In church and Sabbath school, and in all benevolent enterprises she was a most loving and faithful worker.
