Read More	Hugh was a farmer in Fulton County, Illinois, when he enlisted as a Private in the service of his country on 25 March 1865 at the age of 21 years. He mustered in Co H 23 Illinois Infantry Consolidated at Chicago, Illinois, on 28 Mar 1865. He mustered out on 24 Jul 1865 at Richmond, Virginia. Malvern Leader Jan 19, 1928 pg 1 TAPS SOUND FOR G.A.R. VETERAN. Hugh M. Babbitt Passed Away At His Home 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 to genial and kindly in disposition 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 bet friends were at times unable to tell them apart. The two served throughout the Civil War in the same company, and last year they had the honor of being the only twin brothers living who had passed through the great conflict. Mr. Babbitt loved his family, his friends, and his neighbors and was ever loyal to all of them. He was a brave soldier, an exemplary citizen, and a valued friend. The world is richer for his having been in it and we sorrow over his passing. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock from the Christian Church conducted by Rev. Paul H. Hicks of the Methodist Church, and interment was made in the Malvern Cemetery. Members of the Malvern Legion post acted as pall bearers and also formed the firing squad and color guard. Music was provided by a quartet 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.
