"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 65, No 21, p 668, Nov. 23, 1908.
At the Nugent Sanitarium, Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. Harriet Bishop Babcock, aged 53 years, 11 months and 7 days.
Sister Babcock was born at White Pigeon, Mich., and with her parents, J. S. and Polly Bishop, came to Iowa in 1855. Her father died in the service of his country in 1863, and her mother having passed away the month before, she was left an orphan. She found a home with a neighbor, Samuel Giser, until coming to live with her sister, Mrs. Nancy Knight. She remained with this sister until her marriage to Deacon G. S. Babcock of Milton, Wis., February 23, 1873, who with one son, Dr. Lester Babcock of Jackson Center, Ohio, one daughter, Mrs. Blanch Hurley of Chicago, and two brothers, C. A. Bishop of Marshalltown, and J. B. M. of Toledo, Iowa, are left to mourn their loss. Her son Loren, in childhood, and her sister, Mrs. Knight, some four years ago, preceded her to the spirit land.
Being a great reader she kept well abreast with current affairs.
She made a profession in early life and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, but on coming to live with her sister, transferred her membership to the Carlton Seventh-day Baptist Church, and thence to Milton Seventh-day Baptist Church, on moving there in 1894.
The regret and sympathy of her old neighbors in and about Garwin were manifested by the large and attentive company that taxed the church to its utmost on Sunday, P. M, November 1, as the writer spoke of the future life from a text (John 11: 26) chosen by her friends because of her strong belief in its truth. Her body was laid by the side of her son Loren in a beautiful spot in the Garwin Cemetery, near her former home, there to await the call of the Master.
