In the spring following her husband's death Mrs. Babcock moved to California where she remained for six years, returning to Milton to care for Effie Addie Babcock, the wife of her son Ally, during a long illness. She spent several years in this home taking a great interest in her young grandson, Elston whom she loved as a son. The remainder of her life was spent in her home on Janesville street. When failing health made it necessary she was taken to the farm of her son Ally where she was cared for until her death last Thursday.
During her whole life she was deeply interested in the church, being a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church, which she attended faithfully until poor health prevented. She was also a member of the old Benevolent Society and later of circle No. 2.
Although a woman of years she remained young in spirit, choosing to care for herself in her own home, and always eager to help her family and her friends in sickness or trouble.
