BABBITT.-At the residence of his son, L. L. Babbitt, near Stewartsville, Missouri, August 22d, 1883, High Priest Loren V. Babbitt.
Father Babbitt, as he was familiarly called, was born September 19th, 1806, at New Malby, Berkshire county, Mass.; was baptized in 1832, and ordained one of the Seventy about the same time.
He was with the [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints] in her journeyings, her trials, and sufferings, and participated therein. He was present and took part in the Pentecostal season in the Kirtland Temple. Whenever he would recall and recount the glorious hours of spiritual light and life and liberty that were enjoyed on that memorable occasion, his face would light up with joy, and tears of gladness would fill his eyes, as he thought of those heavenly seasons.
Following the fortunes of Brigham [Young] for a while, he became convinced that his place was not with the usurpation, and on April 6th, 1863, he was baptized by Elder Frank Reynolds at Amboy, Lee county, Illinois, and was confirmed [into the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints] by Elder E. C. Briggs. He was ordained a High Priest on April 7th, 1866, at Plano, Illinois, by Elder E. C. Briggs.
He passed away without any visible sign of suffering. He closed his eyes and fell calmly to sleep. He was administered to a few hours before his death, and in fulfillment of the promise, his death was sweet unto him. Funeral discourse preached by Elder T. W. Smith, to a large congregation. Elders I. N. Roberts, D. J. Powell, L. D. Flanders and Thomas Worrell, taking part in the services.
