Leverett W. Babcock (1840–1906) was a Minnesota Republican politician and a Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives. Babcock, a physician, came to Minnesota in 1879. He served as village council president for Wadena, Minnesota for seven years, and was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1898. He served three terms, his last as speaker. Babcock died in 1906.
Leverett W. Babcock was older than 70 when he died.
He died in 1906 and was born in 1840, therefore at most he was 66 when he died, which is not older than 70. It's difficult because the system is somewhat bad at calculating ages in this manner.
