CLAUDE BABCOCK LOSES HIS LIFE
INJURED BY A FALL FROM A HORSE HE NEVER RECOVERED CONSCIOUSNESS
One of the most unlooked for events saddening the history of the valley, is the death of Claude Babcock, a well known and popular youth of the Lost River neighborhood, the youngest son, we hear, of Mr. and Mrs. Albern Babcock; he was about fifteen years of age.
It seems that the young man had been to church Sunday night and, at his home gate received the fatal injuries, but just how is not certainly understood, though appearances indicate that either the horse threw him or fell upon him. He lay unconscious until long after midnight when he was discovered by some passerby.
Every possible thing was done by loving relatives and friends, aided by every physician in the valley; but all was unavailing, the vital spark taking its final leave at the Mackay hospital late the next afternoon, the patient never recovering consciousness.
The remains were given sepulture Thursday in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.
Mrs. Hannah Babcock, the mother, was away, out of the valley, but reached her son as the vital spark had departed. The sympathies of the entire valley are with the family in their severe and unexpected bereavement. (The family story goes that someone shut the gate and it was dark. Claude ran his horse into the gate thinking that the gate was always open at that time of night).
