From list of year ending July 8, 1862, p. 28
EDWIN P. BABCOCK was the son of a grocer in Milton Rock County, Wisconsin, and clerked in his father's store some before attending the Academy in 1861. For a time he engaged in the furniture business in Milton; later he ran a creamery at Clinton, and finally became a prosperous farmer near the last-named village where he still lives.
"The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Sep. 25, 1924, p 1.
Edwin Partridge Babcock, a former resident of Milton, passed away Wednesday morning, Sept. 24, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Della B. Smith, of Clinton, with whom he has made his home.
He had been ill for about two weeks. Death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Babcock was born Nov. 10, 1841, at Erie, Pa., and was 83 years of age at the time of his death. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Abel Babcock and one of twelve children.
When a very small boy he came with his parents to Wisconsin and settled on a farm, now owned by Harry Paul, on the Whitewater road about four miles east of Milton. Later the family moved to the village of Milton where Mr. Babcock operated a tavern and later a store on the property now owned by Harry Holmes. Mr. Babcock received his education in the Milton schools and attended Milton Academy. In 1863 he was united in marriage to Miss Sophia Kimball of Clinton, Wis. Soon after his marriage he enlisted in Co. K, of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry. After the war Mr. Babcock returned to Milton and clerked in his father's store. A few years later he moved his family to Iowa where they located on a farm, later moving to Clinton, where he purchased his father's farm, which he continued to operate for a number of years. He has been a resident of Clinton for 42 years. Mrs. Babcock passed away Sept. 9, 1899.
Mr. Babcock was a wonderfully bright and witty man for one of his age. He was cheerful and believed in looking on the bright side of life. He was a deacon in the Congregational church, and always took a prominent part in the G. A. R.
He is survived by the following children: Charles S. Babcock of Beloit; Milton J. Babcock of Biggsville, Ill., Fred E. Babcock, Chicago; Mrs. Della Smith, Clinton; Mrs. Mary K. Smith, Wausau; Mrs. Iola Richards, Omaha, Neb., and a sister, Mrs. George Maxson of Riverside, Calif. He is an uncle of E. A. Babcock and DeAlton Babcock of Milton, and of Mrs. H. M. Burdick and Miss Margaret Burdick of Milton Junction.
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Presbyterian church in Clinton, with burial in the Clinton cemetery.
Received a disability discharge from Company K, 13th Infantry Regiment Wisconsin on 08 May 1862.
