  Notes	In Westerly, R. I., June 13, 1889, Henry L. Babcock, in his 47th year. He was sitting in the G. A. R. rooms in the evening, conversing with comrades. He fell over against one and seemed to be in a faint. They laid him upon the floor and tried to revive him, but he gasped a few times and was gone. Mr. Babcock was the son of James and Eliza Babcock, and was born in Hopkinton, R. I., Dec. 5, 1842. During the Rebellion he enlisted in the 26th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. He was terribly wounded at Port Hudson and beyond all expectations so recovered as to return home and be able to work, but had suffered from it ever since. This wound probably induced his sudden death. His first wife was Josephine Barber, who died leaving one daughter. The companion who mourns his sudden departure was Ida E. Sisson, of Alfred Centre, N. Y., whom he married Dec. 5, 1878. He leaves a daughter and two sons. He was a member of the Pawcatuck Church. Beloved by his friends and comrades, fellow-citizens and shop-mates, his funeral services were largely attended. O. U. W. (The Sabbath Recorder, Vol 45, No 27, p 432, July 4, 1889)
