Daniel Babcock, and secured a home, and in 1841 moved his family, and settled in the town of Lima, where he spent the rest of his days. He was always a warm supporter of the cause of Christ, both by personal effort and with his means. He was a great enemy to everything like sham and hypocrisy, and in his later years was an ardent supporter of the cause of temperance. As disease and infirmity increased, the spirit of devotion and religious fe! rvor increased. His last connected utterances were a prayer to God for support and pardon.
