MRS. SARAH HOWARD BABOCK
November 27, 1897

Mrs Sarah Howard Babcock, aged 66 years died at an early hour 
this morning under very odd circumstances.

About a month ago she was affected with a felon on her finger.  
Since that time she has been at various times confined to her 
bed. Last week while in this condition a man to whom she owed a 
small sum of money came and demanded it of her at once or he 
would commence action against her.  The threat so frightened 
her that she left her sick bed and in the rain proceeded to a 
friend's house to get the money.

From that time she was worse and the body commenced to bloat. A 
physician was summoned and could not locate the trouble.  Another 
physician who was summoned called it sciatic rheumatism.  This 
morning the swelling suddenly left and also the pain and it was 
thought she was getting better when she gave a short gasp and 
died at 6 o'clock.  Deceased is survived by a husband, C.E. 
Babcock.
