Babbitt was educated in the common schools of Orono township and grew to manhood under the parental roof, continuing at home until twenty-three years of age, when he began farming upon his own account by renting land. In November, 1909 he purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 8, Orono township, upon which he has made many improvements, so that it is now highly productive. On March 28, 1900, he married Miss Cora E Beatty, who was born in Johnson county, Iowa March 2, 1879, a daughter of John and Eliza ( Kirk ) Beatty, the former a native of Scotland and the latter of Ireland. They were married in Muscatine county and Mr. Beatty devoted his attention successfully to farming until his death. Mrs. Beatty continued upon the home farm until 1903, when she removed to Lone Tree, Iowa, where she is now living, having arrived at the age of sixty-six years.
