George H. Babcock, D. D. S., practicing dentist of Cumberland, was born in
the city where he still resides, Nov. 30, 1895, son of Isaac G. and Melissa C.
(Squire) Babcock. He passed through the public schools and graduated from the
Cumberland High School in 1914. In that year he entered the dental department
of the Northwestern University at Chicago, and was graduated with the degree
of D. D. S. in 1917. Then he opened an office in Haugen, in this county, where
he practiced for one year. He opened an office in Cumberland in 1918. He has 
a well equipped laboratory and operating room, and is well prepared to handle
all cases requiring dental surgery and oral hygiene. He and his brother,
Frank, a physician, have a suite of offices, using the pleasant reception room
together. On July 15, 1918, he was inducted into the United States service,
trained at Camp Hancock, Georgia, and was made machine gun instructor, being
discharged July 12, 1919. Dr. Babcock was married March 8, 1920, at Wabasha,
Minn., to Frances Brand, of Cumberland, daughter of Edward and Emma Brand,
who, upon coming to Wisconsin, settled first at Turtle Lake in this county 
and then came to Cumberland, where they managed the Commercial Hotel. Dr.
and Mrs. Babcock had one son, George Frank, who died in infancy.
