The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, May 12, 1949


Funeral services were held for Mrs. William H. Langdon, 81, at the Methodist 
church of Hubbardston Wednesday afternoon, May 11, with the Rev. Park Newcombe 
officiating.  Burial was beside her husband in the Westside cemetery.

Anna Belle Doremus was born near Elkhart, Ind., on April 2, 1868, the daughter 
of Charles and Martha Kimble Doremus.  The family later moved to Grand Rapids, 
Michigan.  While teaching school south of that city she met William H. Langdon 
whom she married June 11, 1888.  Their wedding trip was by lumber wagon to the 
farm near Hubbardston, now occupied by their son Paul.  They later moved into 
the village where they had bought the house built by Boyd Redner.  After 
returning from the farm they spent their winters in various parts of Florida, 
finally establishing a home in Sarasota, where Mrs. Langdon died on May 7, at 
the Sarasota hospital after a long illness.

Mrs. Langdon was very community minded.  She was one of the founders of the 
Hubbardston Library and gave much time and thought to its upkeep.  She served 
on the school board for many years and was very interested in having a good 
school in Hubbardston.  She worked with the Woman’s Society of the Hubbardston 
Methodist church and later became a member of the Sarasota Methodist church.

On June 14, 19398 the community celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary.  
Four years later on June 15, 1942 her husband died.  She is survived by two 
sons, Charles and Paul of Hubbardston, and a daughter, Alice of Sarasota, five 
grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
