"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 97, No 6, p 190, Aug. 11, 1924.
Adolphus Babcock was born at Jackson Center, Ohio, August 2, 1857.
He was married to Isadora Norwood Babcock in September, 1875. To this union were born eight children.
Mr. Babcock joined the Jackson Center Seventh Day Baptist Church soon after his marriage, and remained a member of that church until his death.
After a short time he moved to Paulding County, Ohio, where he taught school. Following this he returned to Jackson Center, where he remained until, in the spring of 1900, in order to secure better educational advantages for his children, he moved to Alfred, N. Y.
In December, 1912, his wife, who had worked with him all these years, passed away. At this time only his three youngest daughters remained at home, and in 1914, the oldest of the three, died.
On October 18, 1915, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Florence Crecy, and in the summer of 1916 they moved to Battle Creek, Mich., and he entered the employ of the sanitarium where he finished his last day's work, August 1, 1924.
He is survived by his wife; his children, L. E. Babcock, of Battle Creek, Mich.; Mrs. Arthur Sloan, of Ludlow, Ill.; A. E. Babcock, of Riverside, Calif.; A. L. and E. R. Babcock, of Battle Creek; Mrs. Everett Powell of Greenville, Mich.; and Fred Crecy, of Battle Creek, Mich. There are also seven grandchildren.
One of the highest aims of his life was to educate his eight children. Through his tenacity of purpose and the loyal co-operation of his wife, Isadora Norwood Babcock, he accomplished his aim. Then, and then only, he set about building up a home for himself and his faithful companion, Florence Babcock, who now grieves over his sudden departure from our midst.
An interesting incident might be mentioned of his life in Paulding County, Ohio. He and one of the local citizens took opposite sides on the Sabbath Question. The discussion was published in the papers. Mr. Babcock's thoroughness is illustrated in the way he prepared to meet this situation. He made a wide study of Sabbath literature and based all his conclusions upon it. This research resulted in his own thorough and abiding belief in the Bible foundation of the seventh day Baptist.
Mr. Babcock had been suffering for some days with pain and distress about the heart. On the night of August 1, he did not come home at the usual time. Mrs. Babcock becoming worried about him, secured help, and searching the sanitarium in the department where he worked, he was found lying dead upon the floor, where he had fallen, as he had completed his last day's work.
Funeral was from the home at 38 College St., on Sunday afternoon, August 3. Services conducted by Pastor G. E. Fifield, assisted by Chaplain Rev. Henry N. Jordan.
The body was taken that night to Alfred, N. Y., for interment. G. E. F.
