OBITUARY:
CAPT. F. J. BABCOCK PASSES AWAY.
Death of the County Clerk of Marion County, After a Protracted Illness.
At 5:30 yesterday morning Capt. F. J. Babcock, county clerk of Marion county, yielded his life to the illness which had prostrated him for so many weeks, and a few hours later the fire alarm bell, tolling in measured, mournful tones, carried to the fire boys and the public news that one of their member had passed to that borne whence no traveler returns.
Capt. Babcock had been ill for many years and his death came as no surprise. Several times before he had been quite low and the end was expected, but each time he rallied sufficiently to be around and able to attend to business. When death came, it found Capt. Babcock surrounded by his family, who heard his last words, he retaining consciousness almost to the last and realizing that his lease of life was fast expiring.
A MASON OF HIGH DEGREE
Capt. Babcock was a Mason of the 32d degree, Scottish rite, and was a member of the council of Royal and Select masons. He was made a Mason in Vermont and took most of the degrees in that state. Coming to Salem in the fall of 1868, he was one of the charter members of Pacific lodge, No. 50, of which he became the first worshipful master and was afterward several times re-elected.
In 1879, he was elected grand secretary of the Grand lodge and served in that capacity during eight years. He was past eminent commander of Albany Knight Templar commandry and since last Tuesday was past recorder of the Grand commandry of Oregon, having held that office since the organization of that order in the state. His successor in office was chosen a week ago.
IN THE GRAND ARMY
One of the charter members of Sedgwick post, G. A. R., of Salem, Capt. Babcock was that post's first commander, having been elected to that position Sept. 26, 1882. He was re-elected in 1883, but soon after resigned, having been elected senior vice department commander of the G. A. R., of Oregon. In February, 1884, he was elected department commander, department of Oregon.
AS A PUBLIC SERVANT
Mr. Babcock served Salem during a part of one term as city treasurer, having been appointed to fill a vacancy. He was also at one time a member of the city council. In 1888 he was elected county clerk, and in 1890 was again the people's choice for the same position. After Mr. Babcock's arrival in Salem he entered into the manufacture of furniture, in connection with Mr. Parmenter, and in this business was actively engaged until elected county clerk. In 1871 at Salem, Mr. Babcock was married to Ida M. Pratt, daughter of Capt. L. E. Pratt, who survives him. To them four children were born, the elder son living but a short time. The children surviving are: William, aged 15, Grace, age 12; and May 3 1/2 years. Mrs. John Gray, of this city, is a sister of Mr. Babcock. The funeral, which will be conducted by the Masonic fraternity, will be at 2 o'clock Wednesday, from the family residence. The service will be by Rev. P. S. Knight, and the remains will be interred in the Rural cemetery.
