    At Alfred Centre, N. Y., May 8, 1891, Martin W. Babcock, aged 74 years and 4 days.
    Bro. Babcock was one of thirteen children born to Paul and Hannah Babcock, of Scott, N. Y. At twenty-three years of age he began the study of medicine at Richburg, N. Y., which he gave up on account of his eyes. In 1842, he was married to Mary Kenyon Maxson, and to them were born two sons and one daughter, all of whom survive him. He was baptized into the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Little Genesee and subsequently was a member at Nile, and finally at Alfred.
    A man of modest ways and yet of strong convictions, he was among the first to espouse the anti-slavery cause, and later that of the prohibition of the liquor traffic. Conscientious, honest and faithful in all things, he has gone to his rest, at peace with all mankind and with God. T. R. W.
