Father noted on stone. Francis was the son of Isaac Wellman Babbitt and Lucy Shaw Atwood.
From the History of the Chippewa Valley:
"Francis Crocker Babbitt, farmer and logger, P.O. Boyd, was born on a farm near Barnard, Windsor county, Vt., December 28, 1841, the son of Isaac Wellman and Lucy (Atwood) Babbitt, the former born in Barnard, Vt., and the latter in Massachusetts. His grandfather on his father's side died at about the age of eighty, and his grandmother, Mary (Golton) Babbitt, died at an advanced age also. They were of Revolutionary stock. Francis C. lived at home during the first thirteen years of his life, and in 1854 went to Cleveland, Ohio, where he clerked in a store for four years, then changed his business to that of railroading, running between Cleveland and Pittsburgh during the next seven years. In 1867 he moved to the Chippewa Valley, locating in the then township of Sigel, now Edson, on a farm of 160 acres, on which he now resides, having, during the years he has lived there, increased the size of it to 600 acres, of which he has 325 acres under improvement. He has the largest timber farm in Chippewa county. He has spent eighteen winters logging in the woods, and has always been more or less successful.
March 11, 1863; he married Mary Matilda, a daughter of James A. and Mary (Smith) Gorham, of Connecticut. There have been born to them nine children: Frank A., April 11, 1864; Grace Amanda, July 19, 1866; Isaac James, May 6, 1869; Julian Atwood, October 1, 1871; Benjamin Lucius, September 29, 1875; Josephine E., February 15, 1879; Naoma E., November 25, 1881; Louisa Irene, February 19, 1885; and Wellman C., April 1, 1887. Mrs. Babbitt was born November 11, 1846. Mr. Babbitt is a republican in politics, and has been chairman of the town board for three terms. He was baptized in the Lutheran church, but now holds liberal views on religion."
