- OBITUARY:Taps Sound for G.A.R. Veteran. Hugh M. Babbitt passed away at his ome near Malvern Monday; Funeral Tuesday afternoon. Taps sounded for another of our Civil War veterans the past week when Hugh M. Babbitt answered to the last "roll call" and was called to his reward. @He had been in rather poor health for the past year but, always active, he still got around a good deal and the end came rather unexpectedly to his many friends, many of whom were unaware of his last serious illness. @Mr. Babbitt was a man of marked characteristics in many ways. he was a man of unquestioned integrity, strong convictions, and the courage to champion them, and withal so genial and kindly in diesposition that to know him was to love him and respect him. @He was a man of striking appearance and up to his last days was vigorous in action and as erect in carriage as many men half his age. He has a twin brother, S.H. Babbitt, of Avon, Ill, who looks so much like him that even their best friends were at times unable to tell them apart. The two werved throughout the Civil War in the same company, and last year they had the honor of being only twin brother living who had passed through the great conflict. @Mr. Babbit love his family, his friends, and his neighbors and was ever loyal to all of them. He was a brave soldier, an examplary citizen, and a valued friend. The world is richer for his having been in it and we sorrow over his passing. @The funerl service was held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from the Christina church conductied by Rev. Paul H. Hicks of the Methodist church, and interment was made in the Malvern cemetery. @Music was provided by a uartet composed of Mrs. D. O. Cunningham, Mrs. F. R. .Chantry, B. C. Tennant, and H. A. Galliher with Mrs. G. S. Eacrett at the piano. OBITUARY. Hugh M.
