B. Babcock occurred at his residence in the southeast part of Medford Friday evening last. Mr. Babcock has been a resident of Medford for several years and for sometime has been troubled with asthma, from the effects of which disease his demise resulted. He was a man well advanced in years, being upwards of sixty. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Sunday. They were conducted by the Alliance-of which he was a member-and under the direction of the president, Mr. Briggs, and were largely attended. Interment was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Mrs. Babcock has been living at Grant's Pass for sometime and was telegraphed for but did not reach here until after his death. Mr. Babcock was born in New York state, and at an early day moved from there to Illinois, where he lived several years; from there to Nebraska, thence to Oregon. He leaves a wife and two stepdaughters, one being Mrs. Goodman Noble, of Medford, the other residing in Illinois.
