Jesse Wardner Babcock, son of Wilbur and Laura Babcock, was born March 22, 1887, in Humboldt, Nebr., and died at his home in Milton, Wis., June 3, 1969.
Mr. Babcock, a deacon for many years in the Milton Junction church, was born in a sod house. He was active in church work until made bedfast by stroke three and a half years before his death.

After retirement he did much lathe work as a hobby, making windmills and other novelties. He went back to New Auburn to help in the construction of the present church in the days before the term "dedicated service" came into general use. He made and presented decorative crosses to four Seventh Day Baptist churches and each year he has presented a beautiful gavel to the Conference president.
