"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 79, No 20, p 639, Nov. 15, 1915.
Grace Evelyn Babcock was born at Albion, Wis., December 14, 1879, and died November 3, 1915.
Her education was received in the district school and in Albion Academy, from which she was graduated in 1899, being valedictorian of her class. In 1897, while playing basketball, she received injuries which led to a long series of illnesses which continued until her death.
During half of her life she was under the shadow of those afflictions, being confined to her bed the past few years. Although an invalid and often suffering great pain, yet she never complained. It was an inspiration to those who came in contact with her to see her cheerfulness in the midst of suffering. She left a number of poems, the product of her own heart and brain, expressing her philosophy of life.
Everything that love could suggest or that medical skill could accomplish was done for her recovery. The home atmosphere was one especially marked by love and unselfish service. The secret of the home atmosphere as well as of her own good cheer lay in a strong religious faith. In early womanhood she became a member of the Albion Seventh Day Baptist Church. The influence of her life blessed and helped many other lives. She was a great lover of nature. She was for a long time a star member of the Home Department of the Albion Sabbath School.
Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Babcock, her sister Lillian and her brothers Henry and Fred, are left to cherish her memory. Many friends gathered at the home on November 5 to pay their tribute of love. Pastor and Mrs. Sayre furnished beautiful music. Pastor L. C. Randolph, of Milton, a friend of many years' standing, preached a short sermon from Romans 8: 28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." The floral offerings were very beautiful.
