His Death Mourned By Many Friends
Large Number Attend Obsequies of Isaac Babb of West Saint John
The death of Isaac Babb, of West Saint John, which occurred last week after a short illness was a great shock to his family and friends. Mr. Babb was born in Russia in 1888. In 1905 he came to Canada, and soon after arrival he started a business in West Saint John and gradually extended its scope until he was operating a large department store.
He was well thought of in the community and popular with those with whom he came in contact. He was a member of Carleton Union Lodge, No. S, F. and A. M., and for many years was vice-president of the local Hebrew Association. The funeral was one of the largest seen for some years in West Saint John and was attended by Carleton Union Lodge members in a body.
Mr. Babb is survived by his wife, Sara; four daughters, Mary, Leah, Helen and Annetta, at home; five sons, Abraham, Joseph and Isadore, at home, and Samuel and Louis, New York, and a brother in Brooklyn. The sons Samuel and Louis were called home by their father’s death, and will remain in the city for the days of mourning, at the home of Rev. A. Babb, 51 Summer Street.
