Elizabeth (McCormick) Babcock was born in Jackson Township, Shelby County, Ohio, June 29, 1842, and died at Albion, Wis., August 31, 1916.
She was the oldest of eight children born to Valentine and Anna (Clayton) McCormick. Three of these have preceded her to the spirit land: James R., in a southern hospital, while a prisoner of war during the Rebellion, Susanna and Sarah Jane in later years.
February 21, 1861, she was united in marriage to Simeon H. Babcock. To them were born eight children, five daughters and three sons; three of these, two daughters and one son, died in infancy.
In the winter of 1863 she made a public profession of religion, was baptized by Elder Lewis A. Davis and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Jackson Center, Ohio, subsequently transferring her membership to the Seventh Day Baptist churches of Albion and Walworth, Wis., and Little Genesee, N. Y., respectively, and finally to the church at Albion again after the return hither six years ago.
In all of these associations she was true and faithful as a pastor's wife, and to all the duties of the household of faith of which she was a member.
She was a true and loyal companion, an affectionate wife, and a mother exceedingly solicitous for the welfare of her children, and altogether unsparing of self in her effort to serve friend and neighbor. Her ideals of chastity and appropriate conduct were exceptionally high, and on this account she wielded a strong influence in favor of a pure and noble life wherever she went, thus helping many young and careless ones to see the dangers and avoid them. Though quiet and retiring, she was very pronounced along this line, and no one could mistake the position she held on such questions.
She will be greatly missed not only by her bereaved husband, her children, sisters and brother, but by many others, far and near, whom she has known in the years gone by.
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Charles S. Sayre, assisted by the Rev. G. W. Burdick, of Milton, Wis. A large procession of friends followed the remains to the beautiful Evergreen Cemetery where interment was made.
