Adrian Babcock
Utica Saturday Globe, January 18, 1902
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Adrian P. Babcock died at his home on East Main street on Wednesday morning, after having borne with bravery a painful illness of several months. Only a few hours before his death he was laughing cheerily with members of his family. Mr. Babcock was born in Norwich, January 28, 1874, and at an early age showed marked musical ability. After completing a general course of study in the Norwich schools and at Albany he began the study of the piano with his father, the late Dr. Linn Babcock. Later he went to New York and received a year's instruction from the famous Scharwenka, who discovered such talent in the young man that he advised him to go to Germany. Accordingly in 1894 Mr. Babcock entered the Royal Conservatory of Leipzig--his father's alma mater--and three years later was graduated with high honors with the title of Doctor of Music. Returning to America his playing won instant and continuous approval. He became teacher of music in the public schools here and conducted large classes in Waterville, Hamilton and other places. He also appeared in concerts in many cities, gaining the approval of leading critics. So well recognized was his ability that he was elected vice president of the state Music Teachers' Association. In February of last year he accepted the position of musical director of the Asheville Ladies' College, Asheville, N.C. His success there is familiar to all. By hard work combined with his musical genius he built up the standard of the school until it reached the highest point of prosperity in its history.
Cooperstown Otsego Farmer, January 1902
Adrian Babcock died Thursday morning at his home in Norwich aged about 25 years. He had been critically ill for nearly three months of lung trouble and death was not entirely unexpected. He was a son of the late Linn Babcock, one of the members of the well known music firm, with a branch store in Cooperstown. While a mere lad, he exhibited musical ability and frequently appeared in public at musical recitals before he was 18 years old. At that age he went to Leipzig, Germany, where for two and a half years he was a student of the celebrated Hungarian pianist and composer, Franz Liszt. Mr. Babcock had very often visited in Cooperstown, more frequently with his father in former years during the summer.
