Lottie C. Babcock, daughter of Joseph and Josephine (Garthwaite) Mallory, was born at Nodaway, Iowa, Nov. 27, 1872, and died at her home in Garwin, August 25, 1964.
While a small child she was taken into the home of Captain and Mrs. Wm. Saunders at Albion, Wis., where she was tenderly cared for as she grew into young womanhood. She studied at Albion Academy. In December 1887, during revival meetings held by the Rev. J. W. Morton, she was baptized and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Albion.
On November 27, 1890, she was united in marriage to Mr. Samuel Babcock at Grand Junction, Iowa. To this union was born one child, Audree Claire (Mrs. Lowell Shrader). In 1909 the family moved to Garwin from Gentry, Ark., where they have since resided. After the church in Garwin was disbanded her membership was placed in her home church at Albion, Wis. She was preceded in death by her daughter, her husband, two brothers, and a sister.
She is survived by a sister, Mrs. E. W. Rust, of Kansas City, a foster daughter, Mrs. George Chant of Hollywood, Calif., her son-in-law, Lowell Shrader, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and a number of nieces and nephews. She has made her home with her sister-in-law for the past five years.
