"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 36, No 10, p 3, Mar. 4, 1880. In Jackson Centre, Ohio, Feb. 23d, 1880, of cancer, Elizabeth Babcock, wife of Dea. J. H. Babcock, in the 57th year of her age. She made a profession of her faith in the Savior's love at about the age of twenty-two years and was baptized by Eld. Thomas E. Babcock, after which she joined the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Jackson Centre, of which she lived a faithful Christian until her death. She died in the faith of a Savior's love, telling her friends of the beauties of heaven, and pointing her children to the "Lamb that taketh away the sins of the world." Her last days were days of peace and comfort in a Savior's tender love and mercy, although her sufferings were very great, her faith so strong. She was a loving wife, a kind mother so tender and gentle, an affectionate sister, and a friend to all. Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends, who weep with those that weep. R. R. Note: The Babcock Genealogy has her birth date at 28 Aug 1832 which would have made her 47 at the time of her death. I don't know which is correct. Her husband was born in 1822, and they married in 1849. The earlier birth date looks more likely. Does someone have a Davis source that gives her birth date? The Babcock Genealogy says she was the daughter of Jeptha Davis 1802-1878 and Matilda Loofboro. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
