Shared note"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 94, No 5, p 157, Jan. 29, 1923.
Sarah Estella Reynolds, daughter of Foster and Fanny Potter Reynolds, was born in Hebron, Pa., December 16, 1837, and died at her home in Nortonville, Kan., on her birthday, December 16, 1922.
Sister Babcock was the last of a family of five children; three brothers, S. P. Reynolds, W. C. Reynolds and H. T. Reynolds, and one sister, Mrs. Celestia Reynolds Culver.
She resided at Hebron until her marriage, with the exception of two years, 1856 and 1857, spent as a student at Albion Academy, Albion, Wis., also a few years in attending Coudersport, Pa., Academy. When about eleven years of age she was baptized by Dr. H. P. Burdick and united with the Hebron Church, where she retained her membership till her marriage to Delos Babcock, of Albion, Wis., February 22, 1863. In 1865, they located in West Hallock, Ill., where they united with that church. To them was born one daughter, Verona Belle, who brightened their life for thirteen brief years, when she was called to the home above. In 1874, they removed to Nortonville, Kan., and transferred their membership to the Nortonville Seventh Day Baptist Church where she remained a loyal member until her death. Twenty years of her life were spent in teaching in the public schools of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kansas. For many years she was a teacher in the Sabbath school until !
failing health compelled her to give it up.
She was always deeply interested in our missions, especially in our China mission. By request of the Woman's Missionary Board she opened a correspondence with our missionaries in Shanghai, which continued for more than a quarter of a century. She was a constituent member of the Nortonville Missionary and Benevolent Society, being its first secretary and holding that position for several years. She was for years a frequent contributor to the Sabbath Recorder.
She has said, "Death to me will be but a joyous transition from my pleasant home here and my kind friends and neighbors, to the glorious home of the soul, where first and best I shall see the dear Father and my blessed Redeemer face to face, and join with all the redeemed of earth in ceaseless praise to them, world without end. The prospect is saddened only by the regret that every waking moment of my life has not been fully consecrated to the Master's loving service."
Funeral sermon was preached by her pastor, H. L. Cottrell. The texts used were, "I know that my Redeemer liveth" (Job 19: 25), and "Because I live, ye shall live also" (John 14 :19). Burial was in the Nortonville Cemetery.
