Headline:  Mrs. Ben Babcock is Called by Death at Urania Home Friday

The untimely death of Mrs. Ben Babcock at Urania on last Friday afternoon 
came as a distinct shock to her many friends throughout this section.  
Suffering from influenza, she developed pneumonia, which was given as the 
cause of her death.

Mrs. Babcock had been a resident of the Urania community for several years 
and was a member of the Eastern Star at that place.  She was also president 
of the LaSalle Parish Council of Home Demonstration Clubs and took an active 
part in all club, social, and religious work of the parish and her community.

Funeral services were held at Urania Saturday at 2 pm with interment 
following in the Olla Cemetery.  Reverends Kitchenham, Bridges, and Daffin 
performed the services which were under the direction of Kinner & Stevens, 
Jena undertakers.

The deceased is survived by her husband and one son, Milton, both of Urania.
