of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Babcock. He
grew up here and attended school
up to the junior year in high school,
after which he worked for Mr. Peer-
inboom in the Tea & Coffee store for
two years, one year for Mr. Nason in
the carpentry trade and just prior
to his enlistment he was employed
by the Nash Grocery Co. George was
a young man of unusual conscien-
tiousness of spirit, one who made
and held friendships. His concept of
duty and loyalty were especially high
and when his mind was made up as
to what was right, his will was
strong to do the right. On May 5th,
1916, he was married to Ione Fish-
beck, who survives with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Grant Babocck, his
brother, Wesley Babcock, of Stevens
Point and sister, Mrs. Ray Sutor, of
this city to mourn a most deveted
husband and son and an affectionate
and considerate brother. Grand Rap-
ids honors its first sailor to die for
his country.
