Nancy Babcook
Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James S. Farren, near Gittings Mound, Saturday, January 18, 1902, Mrs. Nancy Babcook, relict of Samuel Babcook, aged 77 years, 9 months and 26 days.
The announcement of the death of Mrs. Babcook was made last week in these columns and we glean the following facts from the "Dallas City Enterprise" and by their courtesy are enabled to give our reads a very excellent portrait of the lady.
Mrs. Samuel Babcook, who maiden name was Nancy Logan, was born near Connorsville, Indiana March 22, 1824; came with her parents to Illinois in 1839 and was married to Samuel Babcook November 27, 1842. To this union were born ten children, namely: Mary C. Royce of Stronghurst, Ill., Susan D. Gates of Welcome, South Dakota; Euphemia J. Shaw of Stronghurst, Ill., James B. Babcook of Disco, Ill., Ana M. Huffman of Clyde, Missouri; and Florence S. Farren of Disco. Those who have preceded their mother to the better world were Maggie E. and Ellen P. Babcook, Dora P. James and Lillie E. Ranck. There are also 25 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, one aged brother, Jas. L. Logan of Pontoosuc and youngest sister, Pricilla Jones of Knoxville, Iowa. She united with the Free Methodist church in 1862 and during her membership, extending over a period of 40 years she never lacked those Christian graces that set a good example to others and seldom fail to command respect and reverence for religion and to all such as profess it. It can be said in all truthfulness that the good lady who has so recently departed, lived a life of usefulness and like most pioneers of the west endured her share of the hardships from which there was no escape for those who subdued the forest and toiled early and late to make homes. Her last years were spent in suffering partly due to infirmities brought on by old age.
In the presence of the five surviving children and a large concourse of relatives and friends, the funeral services were held Monday at her late abiding place, Rev. J. B. King officiating, assisted by the choir of the Congregational Church of Dallas City, made up of the following persons: Mrs. W. D. Shain, Mrs. F. F. Reynolds, Walter Ramsey, W. H. Bliss, Olga Feldhausen, organist. Interment in the Shaw Cemetery by the side of her husband and children who had passed before to the better land.
