"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 56, No 5, p 79, Jan. 29, 1900.
Temperance (Burdick) Babcock was born in DeRuyter, N. Y., Nov. 15, 1811, and died in Albion, Wis., Jan. 10, 1900.
She was married to Henry C. Babcock, Nov. 16, 1831. For a few years they lived in DeRuyter, then moved to Brookfield. In 1856 they moved to Albion, Wis., and settled on a small farm which thereafter was their home. She was the mother of eight children, three sons and five daughters. One of the sons and three of the daughters, together with her husband, preceded her to the spirit land. The winter following her marriage she embraced religion, was baptized by Eld. Ephraim Curtis, and united with the DeRuyter Seventh-day Baptist church. On her removal to Brookfield, she transferred her membership to the church at that place, and on coming to Albion she united with the Seventh-day Baptist church, of which she was a true and faithful member until called to her reward. She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother, a sympathetic friend and neighbor, ever forgetful of self in her interest for others, and in her efforts to alleviate suffering, to help the needy and bring sunshine and joy into the hearts and homes of those about her. Her trust in God was unbounded, and in the midst of bodily pain she was always cheerful, not fearing death, but rejoiced in the hope of eternal life. Funeral on Sabbath, January 13, conducted by her pastor in the presence of a large audience of relatives, friends and neighbors. S. H. B.

In Albion, Dane Co., Wis., Jan. 8, 1884, Henry C. Babcock, in the 79th year of his age. The deceased was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis a little more than a year ago, and his steps for months have been along the borders of the grave; but his mind has been serene, and his hope of eternal life undimmed. He was a devoted Christian. He was born in Brookfield, N. Y., where he resided, excepting a short residence at De Ruyter, N. Y., until he came with his family to this state, twenty-eight years ago. He was baptized by Eld. Eli S. Bailey and united with the Seventh day Baptist Church early in life, in which faith he continued, being a much beloved member of the Church at Albion, Wis., at the time of his death. His funeral was attended on the 10th inst. by a large congregation of sympathizing friends and neighbors. In the absence of the pastor, Eld. S. H. Babcock, on account of illness, the services were conducted by Elder L. C. Rogers, of Edgerton, Wis. The text of the discourse was taken from 1 Cor. 15: 55-57. among the hymns beautifully rendered, was 'Jesus Lover of my Soul.' being a favorite hymn of the deceased. The departed leaves a widow and four children, two of them residing west of the Mississippi. Thus like a shock of corn fully ripe in its season, death has gathered in his abundant harvest another of earth's loved ones, whose beautiful life will linger a precious memory with the friends who survive him.
