Always in good health, he had missed only three or four meetings until he underwent two operations on his eyes last year. In point of service, he was the dean of the state's municipal clerks.

Though Mr. Babcock was "Mr. Republican" of Bloomington, it was a Democratic mayor who gave him his fulltime job as borough clerk- 44 years after Mr. Babcock began his duties. It was in 1962 under Mayor Daniel Morse.

At the same time, Mr. Babcock became borough purchasing agent, another post he held until his death.

As borough clerk, he had administered the oath of office to every one of Bloomingdale's 11 mayors and more than 50 councilmen.
