"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 100, No 6, p 192, Feb. 8, 1926.
Miss Angeline Babcock was born in Brookfield, N. Y., November 12, 1835, and died in Battle Creek, Mich., January 25, 1926, making her 90 years, 2 months, and 13 days of age at the time of her death.
She was the third of a family of eight born to Samuel L., and Almira Burdick Babcock. In early childhood she moved with her parents to Adams, Jefferson County, N. Y., which was her home until about 1880, when she moved with her mother and adopted daughter to Nortonville, Kansas, where she lived until two years ago, when she came to Battle Creek to visit her brother, Malone S. Babcock.
She had been in Battle Creek only a short time when she suffered the misfortune of a fall, breaking her hip bone, and resulting in her being confined to her bed for the greater part of her remaining days.
In her early days she was baptized and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Moving to Nortonville, she transferred her membership to the church of the same faith, of which church she remained a faithful and devoted member until her death. Her favorite reading was the Bible and the SABBATH RECORDER.
Miss Babcock was "Aunt Angeline" to all the young people, for whom she was always doing something to enhance their happiness. She was never married, at one time humorously remarking, "I have never had time to get married. There has always been too much to do for people."
She is survived by a sister, Mrs. C. B. Spicer, of Plainfield, N. J., and a brother, Malone S. Babcock, of Battle Creek, Mich., besides a large number of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were conducted by the writer on Thursday afternoon, January 28, from Hebble's undertaking rooms, and burial was in the cemetery at Bedford, some seven miles away. There our sister's remains await the day of renewed life and grand reunion.
