Winnie Ethel Babcock Clement, oldest child of Nicander Wilson and Louisa Jane Babcock, was born Dec. 11, 1867, at Welton, Iowa, and was called to rest Feb. 2, 1956.
During her early childhood her family moved by covered wagon to North Loup, Neb., and they were among the organizers of the North Loup Seventh Day Baptist Church of which she was a faithful member until she brought her letter of transfer to the sister church in Riverside in 1923.

J.; Ethel Hamer, of North Loup, Neb.; and Edna Richards, of Riverside, Calif.; and a son who died at birth. She also made a home for a foster daughter, Zoe C. Harris of Philadelphia, Pa. Besides her daughters, she leaves 16 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and a host of friends whose lives have been enriched by her love and faithfulness to the Lord throughout her earthly years.
Funeral services were conducted Feb. 6, 1956, at Riverside, and interment was at the Montecito Cemetery near Loma Linda, Calif., with her pastor, Rev. Alton L. Wheeler, in charge. A. L. W.
