Abiah Hayes Babcock, was born at Lockport, N. Y., June 13, 1849, and died in Albion, Wis., May 15, 1927, at the home of Mrs. Eliza Smith, where she had been kindly cared for, for about one year.
She was the daughter of Asa and Mahala Clemmons Hayes, and they moved to Wisconsin when Abiah was one year old, and to Albion in 1870. Her brother, Millard Hayes, of Albion, alone remains of the father's family.
In early life she joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church. October 10, 1873, she was married to George W. Babcock. For a time they lived in North Loup, Neb., then they returned to Albion, which was ever after their home. Deacon Babcock died October 17, 1919, and the lonely wife was never the same after his going. She was fond of reading her Bible, and as far as she understood life the text, "She hath done what she could," seems appropriate for her. She loved to do little neighborly kindnesses and was always very appreciative of what was done for her. Even after her mind became clouded she liked to save little helpful poems, bits of prose, or gather a few flowers, which she loved and take them to some sick or burdened one.
She was cared for, for a time, in her own home by different ones, and her welfare has been cared for by relatives, as the only remaining member of this little family is the dear daughter, Nellie, who has been a great sufferer for some years and has been in Mercy Hospital, Janesville, Wis., for four years.
Funeral services were held in the Seventh Day Baptist church at Albion, May 17, 1927, and the burial was in Evergreen Cemetery. In the absence of Pastor J. H. Hurley, who was with the Welton, Iowa, Church for a short time, the services were conducted by Pastor J. F. Randolph, of Milton Junction, Wis. C. M. S.
