"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 92, No 6, p 192, Feb. 6, 1922.
Clarissa Jane Babcock, daughter of Thomas N. and Fannie J. Wilcox, was born at Angelo, Monroe County, Wis., February 26, 1856, and died at her home in Albion, Wis., January 1, 1922.
Her girlhood was spent in Angelo and here on November 11, 1873, she was married to Charles I. Babcock, of Albion, Wis. The young couple made their home on a farm two miles north of Albion Center and there they lived for forty-five years. To them four children were born: Grace, who died in 1915; Lillian, who is Mrs. W. E. Babcock, of Waupun; Henry, of Milton; and Fred, of Wauwatosa.
In November, 1918, Mr. and Mrs. Babcock left the farm and moved to Albion Center where they lived until she became the victim of pneumonia.
Besides her husband and three children she has left behind two brothers, William and Wellington.
"Clara," as she was lovingly called by her many friends, was for the greater part of her life denied that greatest of all blessings, good health. When quite young she became afflicted with asthma, from which she suffered throughout her life. Ill health from this and other diseases did not, however, prevent her from leading a useful life. She was a good wife and a kind and loving mother. Always bright and hopeful even under the most trying circumstances she was a constant inspiration to those about her and her courage and good cheer will long be remembered by many.
She was a woman with a beautiful Christian faith. Early in life she became a member of the Albion Seventh Day Baptist Church, and to its covenant she remained faithful to the end.
On New Year's Day, surrounded by those she loved best, this strong loving soul, her work on earth ended, passed away into the great beyond where there is no more pain and suffering but where the weary are at rest.
Funeral services were held at the home January 4, in charge of Pastor Sayre. Interment was in the Evergreen Cemetery. C. S. S.
