"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 144, No 6, p 99, Feb. 9, 1948.
Eleanor Babcock, daughter of John H. and Metta Platts Babcock, was born in the pioneer community of North Loup, Neb., November 14, 1878 and died January 6, 1948.
She was baptized as a girl and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church and has been active in the Churches of Milton, Wis., and Riverside, Calif.
She is a sister of Mrs. Charles Thorngate, Dodge Center, Minn; aunt of Mrs. Myra T. Barber, North Loup, Neb., Dr. George Thorngate, Shanghai, China, John and Mary Thorngate, of Eau Claire, Wis., Mrs. Wesley Baldridge, Colfax, Wis., and Mrs. Marguerite Clapper, Dodge Center, Minn. She is the mother of Rev. Wayne R. Rood of the faculty of Alfred University of Theology, Alfred, N. Y., who is now completing his doctorate at Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Calif.
She was united in marriage to Warren Ray Rood at Milton, Wis., December 24, 1903, and they have worked together in educational, Church, and community service since that time. Although she has not been able to take part in public work since she was stricken with arthritis a few years ago, she has maintained a keen interest in the better things in life. She was a woman of deep religious convictions and it was a great satisfaction to see her son render great spiritual service to the armed forces during the war as army chaplain and as a minister and teacher in a theological seminary. She has been a vital factor in the activities of her husband during their forty-four years of married life. She leaves the husband and son and a host of friends to cherish her memory.
Farewell services were conducted by Rev. E. S. Ballenger, assisted by the present pastor of the church with interment at Olivewood Cemetery in Riverside, Sabbath afternoon, January 10.
