  Lillie Eliza Babcock (nee Coon) was born November 21, 1855, at Milton, Rock County, Wis., and died at Ludden, N. D., October 17, 1916.
  Her husband, one daughter, and one son died at Gentry, Ark., in 1909.   Her home was at Grand Marsh, Wis., but she moved to North Dakota, February, 1916, where she came to be with her son and daughter.   She was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Grand Marsh, Wis., having accepted Christ when she was young.
  She leaves to mourn her loss, five children, Ethan, of Ellendale, N. D.; Roy, of Grand Marsh, Wis.; and Walter, Stephen, and Ella, of Ludden, N. D.; also sixteen grandchildren, two brothers, and many other relatives and friends.
  She suffered from poor health for several years and had been in bed sixteen weeks with cancer of the stomach.   She was very patient and always thanking God for his goodness and mercy.   All that loving hands could do   was done and the last two weeks her case was with the Lord.   Her faith and the prayers of others did much to relieve her suffering.
  She was laid to rest in the Ellendale (N. D.) Cemetery, it being her request, and Pastor Evans, of Ellendale, conducted the services.     N. L. B.
