  Delia Babcock-Chase was born in Persia, Cattaraugus County, New York on January 9, 1838, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nellie E. Black, in North Loup, Nebraska, on Tuesday, June 18, 1918, at the age of 80 years, 5 months and 9 days.
  She was married at Dakota, Wisconsin on September 28, 1859 to Henry A. Chase, later a volunteer veteran of the Civil war and prominent in church work and civil life, holding many positions of honor and who died at this place in November, 1913.
  To this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Nellie E. Black who survives her.   She also leaves three grandchildren, Mrs. Georgia Green of Farina, Illinois who came from her home with her husband, Rev. Leslie O. Green, and their family to attend the funeral, Mrs. Lora Fisher and Henry Black all of this place, four great grandchildren, as well as a large number of nephews and one niece with their families, with Mr. E. W. Black, her son-in-law, who all through her declining years has shown her such marked consideration.
  When a small girl she moved with her father's family to Dakota, Wisconsin, where she resided for many years; then moved with her husband to Minnesota for one winter, and later residing in Brookfield, Missouri for thirteen years.   In October, 1879 the family moved to North Loup where she continued to reside until the time of her death.
  In early life she was converted and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church of which she was an earnest, consistent member and worker during all her remaining years.
  Mrs. Chase was the last surviving member of her generation of a family of great energy, always leaders in all church social and civil activities.
  She was the daughter of Rev. George C. Babcock and Almira Brown Babcock.   Her father was the organizer and for many years pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist church at Dakota, Wisconsin and similarly of the Seventh Day Baptist church of Brookfield, Missouri, a very successful teacher and always a leader in his day and Delia helped him in all his activities.
  She was a sister of Rev. Oscar Babcock, president of the colony that settled this North Loup country, organizer and first pastor of the S. D. B. church at this place and of H. A. Babcock, both not only old settlers of North Loup but prominent in the organization of the county and in the building up and the development of this part of the state and holding very many official positions in the county and state.
  As an active member of this very active family, her loss will be felt and mourned by the community as well as by her immediate and old friends. Funeral services were held at the church Thursday afternoon, conducted by pastor Davis.

Henry A. Chase 1837-1913  
"The North Loup Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska, Friday, Nov. 28, 1913, p 1.
  Henry A. Chase was born in Jefferson county, New York, February 12, 1837, and died at his home in this village Thursday afternoon, November 20, 1913, aged nearly 77 years.
  When about 18 years of age he went with his father to Wisconsin. Here he attended the common schools of the state and for a time was a student in Albion Academy.   For more than ten years he was a teacher in the schools of Wisconsin, and in that work as well as any other he undertook he made good.
  September 28, 1859, he was married to Miss Delia Babcock, who, with their only child, Mrs. E. W. Black, together with her husband, three children and one grand child, survives him.   He leaves, too, one brother.
  While teaching at Berlin, Wisconsin he was converted and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church at that place.   Later he transferred his membership to the church of his faith at Brookfield, Missouri, where the family lived for several years before coming to this place in 1879.   Upon coming to this place he became a member of the S. D. B. church here, and during all the years of his life among us he was one of the most ardent workers of the church holding a prominent position always in the official family.   He was too, always a teacher in the Sabbath school and was a regular attendant at the church prayer meeting, always taking a prominent part in the services.
  For many years Mr. Chase was a member of the school board, was one of the county commissioners and later a county supervisor.
  In all affairs of life his council was eagerly sought as his was a keen conservative mind and he was a deep thinker always having the best interests of the community at heart.
  In the spring of 1861 at the call of duty he enlisted in Company G, 37th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry.   He was soon promoted and when mustered out was Commissary sergeant.   He had a part in the campaign about Richmond and at the unfortunate mine disaster at Petersburg he was wounded and taken to City Point.   He was able to return to active service, however, and was present with his regiment at the surrender of Lee to Grant.
  Funeral services were held at the church at the regular hour of service Sabbath morning, November 22, and the body was laid to rest in the beautiful city of the dead west of the village.
  Another good man has gone, and in going has left a legacy of good works, honesty of purpose and an influence for good that is worth more than houses and lands.
