of age.  In honor of the occasion, Mr. Babcock entertained a number of 
friends at a dinner party given at noon at his residence on Mulberry street.  
A four-course dinner, with roast turkey as the chief dish, was served.  The 
table decorations consisted of red and white carnations and covers were laid 
for eight guests.  Mr. Babcock was the recipient of a number of gifts and 
postcards.  The guests present were Hon. Jesse L. Hartman, John Andrews, 
Misses Lida McFarland, Jennie Babcock, Sarah Babcock, all of Hollidaysburg, 
and Mr. and Mrs. George Kelley, of Altoona.
