6 N150. Ontario Messenger and Repository (Canandaigua, NY), published on the internet by fultonhistory.com, 1887 Sept 15. "Neighboring Counties...George G. Babcock, for fifty years postmaster at Doty's Corners, near Hornellsville, died last Thursday, aged eighty one years. He was a staunch Democrat and was probably the oldest postmaster in the United States, except one, Roswell Beardsley, of North Lansing, Tompkins County."

7 N152. Canaseraga Times (Canaseraga, NY), published on the internet by fultonhistory.com, 1887 Sep 9. "Death of a Pioneer
Geo G. Babcock, Esq. was perhaps, as well known as any man in this part of the country, and the news of his death will no doubt be a surprise to the very many of the readers of the Times, notwithstanding he was well advanced in years.
Mr. Babcock was born in the town of Mendon, Monroe Co, N.Y, Sep. 27, 1886 (sic), and consequently had nearly completed his 81st year. In 1830 he was united in marriage with Miss Olive B. Knapp, who was three years younger than himself and who is still living. It will be seen that their marriage relation coveted a period of fifty seven years. They removed to Dotys Corners, in 1836 and settled on the farm which they have continuously occupied from that time. Miss Knapp, the bride of 57 years ago, was formerly a resident of Warsaw, N.Y.
Seven children were born to them, six of whom are now living, as follows: W. Seymour Babcock, of Addison, N. Y. G. Homer Babcock of Chicago Ill; Daniel A. Bancock, of Hornellsville; James G. Babcock, who remains on the homestead; Mrs. N. V. Mundy and Mrs. E. Gors, the last two residents of Canaseraga.
Mr. Babcock's death occurred Sept. 7 1886, and the funeral was held from the late residence Thursday Sep. 8th, Rev. C. K. Richardson of Warsaw officiating.
The subject of this sketch was a vigorous worker in any cause he espoused, and always took a lively interest in the important issues of the day. Although he was Democratic in politics he held the office of post master at Doty's Corners through long years under Republican administration. He was known as the "oldest post master", having served in that capacity for over half a century.
He was a kind husband and father, and his relations with the world were pleasant and satisfactory."
