HANNAH CATHERINE BRANTLEY BABB 

   Mrs. Hannah Catherine Babb, 86, of Ivor, widow of Dr. John H. Babb*, died 
in a Richmond hospital early Monday morning, October 23, after a long illness.

   The deceased was the daughter of the late Orris and Jane Owens Brantley of 
this county.  She was educated at the Westtown, Pa., Friends School, and was a 
member of the Corinth Friends Meeting.

   Surviving her are three daughters, Mrs. George T. Partridge, Sr., of 
Richmond, Mrs. Ray Hines of Suffolk, and Mrs. Edgar Wood of Petersburg; two 
sons, Livingston H. Babb and Dr. E. Macaulay Babb of Ivor; and nine 
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

   Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the 
Corinth Friends Meetinghouse by Rev. D. Edgar Wood of Petersburg, assisted by 
Rev. Duane Vore of Suffolk.  "Sunrise Tomorrow" was sung as a solo by Thomas 
R. Traylor of Ettrick, and other selections were sung by the choir.  The 
casket was covered by a pall of red roses, baby’s breath and Easter lilies. 
There were many beautiful floral designs attesting the esteem in which Mrs. 
Babb was held.

   Interment was in the family cemetery near Ivor, the active pallbearers 
being Edgar Stephenson, E.W. Raiford, Edward Neave, Herbert Babb, Olin Hines, 
Paul Brantley, L.T. Saunders, Frank Babb and John Bradshaw.  Honorary
