He was a son of Henry P. and Eliza Babbitt.
Funeral -- The funeral obsequies of the late Chas. A. Babbitt took place at the Globe Hotel at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and were conducted by Rev. Samuel J. May. The funeral procession moved towards Oakwood Cemetery shortly before 3 o'clock, escorted by the Masonic fraternity in the regalia of the Order, and accompanied by a huge concourse of our most respectable citizens in carriages and on foot. -- Twenty four members of the Masonic fraternity acted as pall bearers. The remains were enclosed in a handsome coffin of black walnut, with silver mountains, and a silver inscription plate upon which was engraved the following: -- Charles A. Babbitt {Masonic En---} Died April 19 1860--Aged 30 years
Each member of the Masonic fraternity wore on the breast the usual green sprig, enblematic of future immortality, and after the solemn and beautiful Masonic burial services at the grave, each brother deposited his sprig upon the coffin followed by the sublime parting words of the brothers. Thus has another of our citizens passed away, while yet in the full bloom of vigorous manhood--passed to that long, long sleep that awaits us all, and which is but the question of a few months or years, may perhaps but a few days or a few short hours with many of us. It is but a few brief months since we were called upon to write Mr. Babbitt's Hymenial notice, with on of the fairest and most accomplished daughters of Syracuse. Little did we then think that it would so soon devolve upon us to indict his obituary--little did the young and happy bride dream that she so soon would be called upon to exchange the orange blossom for the immortelle--the bridal robe of spotless white for the young widows weeds.-- It is ever thus with poor, frail mortality. One by one we go, and leave sorrowing hears to look in vain for our return through the somber mists of evening, unconsciously forfeiting that the grave holds the form that we loved and all that was dear to us on earth. How important then, is it, that we should --
so live, that when the summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
to that mysterious realm, where each at all take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach they grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
