Cassville Republican, March 9, 1911 - Aged Minister Passes Away: Rev. Samuel Babb died at the home of his son, J. W. Babb, at Hugo, Okla., Friday, March 1, 1911, at the advanced age of 83 years, of general debility. Samuel Babb was born in Tennessee, April 10, 1829. There he grew to manhood undergoing all the hardships and privations of the early pioneers. At the age of nineteen years he professed faith in Christ and at twenty-three he was ordained to preach and became an active minister. He preached his last sermon when 81 years old. The sermon was preached at the request of friends of Grant, Okla., where he then lived. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Roberts in Tennessee in 1848. Mrs. Babb died a few years ago. To them were born ten children, two of whom died in infancy, the remaining eight are living. The are Mrs. Sarah Lowder, Cassville; J. W. Babb, Hugo, Okla.; Miss Rhoda Babb, Washburn; Mrs. Minta Wallen, Fairland, Okla.; Mrs. Lena Hefley, Cassville; Mrs. Tina Bradley, Miami, Okla.; M. B. Babb, Cassville; Mrs. Laura Ezra, Mt. Vernon. As a great many other Tennesseans did, he caught the desire to move west and came to Missouri. For about thirty years the family has lived in Barry County. Samuel Babb was a man who in every sense of the term lived up to all the tenets of the Golden Rule. He was a conscientious Christian gentleman, a man of earnest convictions and a man of deep religious temperament. His friends were always number by his acquaintances. The body was shipped to Cassville and buried at the Corinth Cemetery after funeral services held Saturday afternoon by Rev. J. W. Ennes.

Samuel established a Methodist Church south of Cassville at Corinth. The land was given to him by Doc Hefley. It is now called Corinth Community Church.
