A nativé of New Britain, where he was born August 5, 1848, the son of Dr, and Mrs. Edward Babcock, George lived here for over forty years and was known to practically every man, woman and child i the community. Having a comfortable income George was retired about a year ago when his mind became- affected, following an attack of epilepsy. His was a fa- miliar figure around the streets for a long time and his absence will be no- ticed on the highways and in ‘his asual haunts. ¥ An eccentric character, . recognized by the community as a left handed thinker . and a . chronic George made his' presence. in town known for over a quarter of a cen- tury. He took an interest in every- thing political, and personal as well, and he took a hand in almost all deals and plans concerning the government of the town. He had a keen mind and invariably suspecting the uiterior ‘motive in all things suggested: for the betterment of tHe town or for the succees of any of the political parties he kept busy for years seeking what he believed to be the inevitable “nig- ger in the woodpile.” He was well versed \n -town affairs and through his attivities as a probér he was in- variably ‘well informed on all moves made by political workers, his crit- icism of many of the “plots” and “‘star chamber” arranged slates often upset- ting the plans of party leaders. Although a republican in politics, George recognized no party lines and at election time he was liable to be found lined up with the workers of almost any candidate. He was a handy man. in ‘town af- fairs .and among the officials “let George do it was a slogan for a long time. His familiarity with local con- ditions and his willingness to do any- thing that had a political or public complexion ‘won him innumerable ap- pointments and at times ;‘h held more offices than he could keep track of. He wag secretary to the board of se- lectmen, chairman of the board of fire commissioners, tree warden, dog warden, truant officer, member of the committee having in charge thg -ais- bursement of the Strong fund, super- intendent of the cemeteries, custodian of the-town building, hymane agent, sealer of weights and m! per- sonal tax énumerator, probation offi- cer, and’ general utility ma: Not content. with these positions, he was for years as aspirant lor the office of “Kicker, first selectman and when tu?nea down by the;gaucus of the .républicans, he would me an independent candi- .| date. e was known throughout the county hgcause of -fils activities and in the heyday of Wis ‘career he had a wide acquaintance’: No public oficial was ever too big to bec¥me ‘the, object of George's criticism and those. who did not re- «£eive ome or more of his letters, most ©of which hé kent anonymously, are few.
