Daniel Enos Gifford Babcock was the son of Peleg and Lucinda Brown Babcock, and was born in Independence, N. Y., July 12, 1828. When he was about two years old his parents moved to Little Genesee, N. Y., and there his boyhood and early manhood days were spent. He was the eldest in a family of eight children - five daughters and three sons. Only one of the eight, Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, of Portville is known to survive him, his youngest brother, Elnathan W., having preceded him to the better land a little over three months ago. His mother was taken from her home at the age of thirty-seven, making it then necessary for the children to be placed in different homes here and there.
He was married to Hannah Witter on August 12, 1854, by Eld. Leman Andrus, and they began housekeeping in the house where he died, October 5, 1898. Seven children were born to them, only two of whom remain to mourn the loss of a loving father's tender care and protection, and, with the three grandchildren, to comfort and strengthen the heart of the lonely wife and mother.
Over forty years ago Mr. Babcock was converted to Christ, and was baptized by Eld. Joel West, joining the Seventh-day Baptist church at Nile, N. Y. He was ordained deacon in this church June 23, 1861. During these thirty-seven years of faithful service in this holy office, he has aided in welcoming the largest part of our present membership into the church, and has given the church and the community a worthy example of unselfish Christian service. Although living nearly three miles from the church, he was a regular attendant at the Sabbath services, and often at the prayer meetings, but during the last year of his life he was often denied this, to him, great privilege.
All say of him, "He was a good man."
The funeral services were conducted by the pastor of his church, assisted by Rev. Jared Kenyon, of Independence, N. Y., a life-long friend of Dea. Babcock, and by Rev. M. B. Kelly, of Alfred Station, a former pastor of the church at Nile.
