To K Babbington. I am also from the Babbington family. My Grandmother was Ella Babbington, married to William McDonald. She is buried along with Thomas at Mt. Olivet along with her sister Ruth and William McDonald. I'd appreciate knowing more about the family. I can be reached at donbroadway@aol, or phone at 610-942-2637.

When an officer's watch ends I alway manage to end up here on the memorial page for my great grandfather. While I never met him there many stories that are passed in my family. It is awesome to see all the reflections from those that have also lost loved one but also fellow officers simply remembering a man they never met. The CPD is wonderful.
