Notes for Hermon BABCOCK
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 47, No 42, p 672, Oct. 15, 1891.
Hermon Babcock was born in Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., April 9, 1838, and died at Milton, Wis., Oct. 2, 1891, of paralysis.
He came with his parents to Albion, Wis., when about ten years of age. While a young man he experienced a change of heart and united with the Albion Seventh-day Baptist Church. Soon after, he married Miss Charlotte A. Odell, and moved to Utica, Wis., moving his membership to that church, where it remained to the time of his death. He moved to Milton but a few days previous to his death, expecting to make that place his future home, but death called him to his eternal home. Mrs. Babcock remains to await her Lord's call to join him there. By this, and like events, we are all taught that "There is but a step between me and death." 1 Sam. 20: 3. G. W. H.
