Notes from a historical account of Jessie Washington's employer (1917-1920) Babcock Brothers Lumber Co in 1902: Babcock Bros. Lumber Co. was organized in early 1901 soon after the brothers bought their first longleaf pine tract of 30,000 acres in southwest Georgia. Now they own or control an estimated 250,000,000 feet of standing timber. Only four months old and located at Babcock, Ga., the mill already is operating smoothly, reflecting the detail and care that went into its construction.
The business started with two locomotives, six miles of standard gauge railroad, and a new and complete town. It is situated on the shores of Lake Boykin, one of the most beautiful sheets of water in the Gulf states. The railroad extends into the lake, which serves as a cleansing storage area for an unlimited supply of logs.
With more than 1,000 inhabitants, the town has schools and churches for both whites and blacks and is incorporated. The company owns every building in the town, which has an elected mayor and aldermen and other officials to look after matters and to maintain law and order. Babcock Bros. runs a large plantation and stock farm from which its store is supplied with vegetables and meats.
The town is located four miles from the Georgia, Florida, and Alabama Railroad and now comprises over 60 dwelling houses besides stores and office buildings.353
Reverend Sykes and his wife Bernice/Bernadine from Delaware are family members in Brunswick, Georgia who attended Hazel's funeral.
