"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 87, No 18, p 566, Nov. 3, 1919.
Deacon George Washington Babcock, son of Charles and Frances Nye Babcock, was born at Westerly, R. I., January 24, 1848, and passed away at his home in Albion, Wis., October 17, 1919.
He leaves to mourn their loss, the wife and one daughter, Nellie; also one sister, Mrs. Harriet Palmiter, of Albion, Wis., and one brother, Franklin R. Babcock, of Indian Ford, Wis.
Mr. Babcock came west and settled at Albion along with his brother-in-law, Captain William Saunders, with whom he made his home while he attended Albion Academy. In the winter of 1865 he made a profession of religion, and was baptized, and united with the Albion seventh Day Baptist Church, being about seventeen years of age. From 1872 to 1875 he gave his attention to a homestead in Valley County, Nebraska, not far from North Loup, but sold out interests there and settled at Albion and engaged in farming until about fifteen years ago when he moved into the village. In the fall of 1873 he was united in marriage to Miss Abiah J. Hayes.
In November, 1887, he was ordained to the office of deacon in the Albion Seventh Day Baptist Church, and this position he filled faithfully and well to the time of his death. He was a devoutly religious man, always finding his way to the appointments of the church, and contributing his share to the interest of the service. He loved the devotional meetings, and in his departure the prayer meeting has suffered a great loss. He willingly took charge of the Sabbath service when the pastor was absent, and spoke to the people in a helpful way. His wit and good humor and his kindly Christian spirit made him many friends. The church has lost an able and efficient officer, and the community has lost a distinguished Christian citizen.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works do follow with them."
The funeral services were held in the Albion Seventh Day Baptist church conducted by his pastor, Charles S. Sayre, and burial was made in the Evergreen Cemetery. Rev. C. S. Sayre.
