Source: Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region (1905) transcribed by Kim Mohler.
Among the eminent representative of the medical profession of Barron county, Wis., none has more friends or stands higher with all classes of people than Dr. Isaac G. Babcock, of Cumberland, who inherits his medical skill from his father, also a skillful physician.
Dr. Babcock was born at Afton, Minn., son of Benjamin F. and Amelia (Van Vleck) Babcock, natives, respectively, of Camden and Peterboro, N.Y. Both parents were reared in the East, and were married in Stillwater, Minn. Dr. Benjamin F. Babcock was educated in Ithaca, N.Y. Later he studied medicine at Camden and Rome, N.Y. In 1853 he moved West, locating at Superior, Wis. After three years later he went to Stillwater, Minn. After three or four years there he went to Afton, Minn., and there died in 1870. His widow survives, now making her home at Cumberland, Wis., and is a member of the Congregational Church, which her husband also attended. In addition to Isaac G. there was one other child, Henry, now a successful dentist at No. 401 Baltimore street, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Isaac George Babcock secured his education at the St. Croix Valley Academy, after which for a year he went to the St. Paul University, and thence he went to Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York, from which he was graduated in 1888. His first location was at Stockholm, Wis., but after a year he went to Red Wing, Minn., and was with Dr. P.E. Jones for a year, when, in 1890, he located at Cumberland, and commenced what has developed into a very flourishing practice.
In 1882 Dr. Babcock married Miss Melina Squires, of Afton, Minn., and five children have been born to them: Minnie, Frank, Florence, Grace and George. For the past twelve years, Dr. Babcock has been a member and secretary of the school board; he is greatly interested in school work, and has been largely instrumental in securing the excellent school system which now prevails. He is a member of the American Medical Association; the Wisconsin State Medical Association; the Inter-County Medical Association; Barron, Rusk and Polk County Medical Association, and has been the secretary of the last named since its organization. Fraternally, he is a member of the K. of P., Lodge No. 52 of Cumberland, and he is also a Mason, belonging to Blue Lodge, No. 223 of Cumberland. He and his wife attend the Cumberland Congregational Church, to which he is a liberal contributor. His practice is a very large one, extending over Cumberland and the vicinity, and is only restricted by lack of time. Dr. Babcock is a man of experience, as well as education, and has been exceedingly successful in his practice. Not only is he a skillful physician, but he possesses the many other qualities so necessary in a doctor, and cures as much by his cheery, helpful manner and words, as with his medicines and knowledge.
