Delia Babcock-Chase was born in Persia, Cattaraugus County, New York on January 9, 1838, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nellie E. Black, in North Loup, Nebraska, on Tuesday, June 18, 1918, at the age of 80 years, 5 months and 9 days.

She was married at Dakota, Wisconsin on September 28, 1859 to Henry A. Chase, later a volunteer veteran of the Civil war and prominent in church work and civil life, holding many positions of honor and who died at this place in November, 1913.

To this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Nellie E. Black who survives her. She also leaves three grandchildren, Mrs. Georgia Green of Farina, Illinois who came from her home with her husband, Rev. Leslie O. Green, and their family to attend the funeral, Mrs. Lora Fisher and Henry Black all of this place, four great grandchildren, as well as a large number of nephews and one niece with their families, with Mr. E. W. Black, her son-in-law, who all through her declining years has shown her such marked consideration.

When a small girl she moved with her father's family to Dakota, Wisconsin, where she resided for many years; then moved with her husband to Minnesota for one winter, and later residing in Brookfield, Missouri for thirteen years. In October, 1879 the family moved to North Loup where she continued to reside until the time of her death.

In early life she was converted and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church of which she was an earnest, consistent member and worker during all her remaining years.

Mrs. Chase was the last surviving member of her generation of a family of great energy, always leaders in all church social and civil activities.

She was the daughter of Rev. George C. Babcock and Almira Brown Babcock. Her father was the organizer and for many years pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist church at Dakota, Wisconsin and similarly of the Seventh Day Baptist church of Brookfield, Missouri, a very successful teacher and always a leader in his day and Delia helped him in all his activities.

She was a sister of Rev. Oscar Babcock, president of the colony that settled this North Loup country, organizer and first pastor of the S. D. B. church at this place and of H. A. Babcock, both not only old settlers of North Loup but prominent in the organization of the county and in the building up and the development of this part of the state and holding very many official positions in the county and state.

As an active member of this very active family, her loss will be felt and mourned by the community as well as by her immediate and old friends. Funeral services were held at the church Thursday afternoon, conducted by pastor Davis.
