The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 37, No 6, p 5, Feb. 10, 1881. At Milton, Wis., Jan. 12th, 1881, Abel S. Babcock, aged 80 years and 9 months. He had lived in the West over 40 years. He was a ripe Christian, a great reader of the Bible, with which he was very familiar. We shall miss him in the church and in the community. He was highly esteemed by all, and justly so. He buried his wife over eight years ago, with whom he had lived about 50 years. He leaves behind seven children, five having gone on before him. His memory will be fresh and pleasant in our hearts for a long time to come. He was a strict observer and ardent advocate of the Sabbath, and always had an argumentative blade with a keen edge ready drawn for an encounter with any minister or layman who taught and practiced contrary to the fourth commandment. His funeral was held in the church where he attended, on Sabbath-day, Jan 15th, and was largely attended. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. T. R. Williams, D. D., and Elder James Bailey officiated. Uncle Abel was a conscientious and a good man, and has gone to his reward.E. M. D. transcribed by Jon Saunders, contributor 47674050
