Oscar T. Babcock was born February 7, 1895, in North Loup, Neb., the grandson of the pioneer founder of that community, and died May 13, 1952, while en route to his home in Milton, Wis., after spending the winter in Tucson, Ariz.

On September 5, 1927, he married Beulah Vincent, of Milton Junction, Wis., and to this marriage one son, Bryce, was born. He is survived by his wife, Beulah, his son, Bryce, his mother, Mrs. Jessie True Babcock, two brothers: Edward and Arthur; and a sister, Kathryn.

"O. T.," as he was affectionately known by his many friends and associates became registrar of Milton College following his graduation from the institution in 1925. In the years prior to his attending Milton College, he had attended the university of Nebraska, had been admitted to the bar in that state, and had practiced law from 1921-23. "O. T." had wide community and civic interests. He was a member of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church, having served for four years as trustee. He served the community as Justice of the Peace, clerk of Milton Union High School, president of Milton Civic Club, and at the time of his death was a member of the village board. In 1948 he was elected president of the Wisconsin Collegiate Registrars' Association, being a charter member of that group. On the Milton campus he was an advisor to Chi Delta Rho Fraternity.

The farewell services were held in the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church, Rev. Elmo Fitz Randolph officiating, and interment was in the Milton Cemetery.
